Details
March 14, 2026 - April 09, 2026
From Contracommon:
"Contracommon is proud to present On All Fours, a solo exhibition by emerging artist Elijah Cuminato. On view in the gallery from March 14th through April 9th, 2026, the exhibition will open with a reception on March 14th from 4–7pm. It is free to attend and open to the public.
Elijah Cuminato is an Austin-based painter who graduated from Texas State University in 2025. He uses vibrant colors, geometric shapes, and animal imagery to explore abstract illusionism, interrogating the intersection of realism and abstraction.
Cuminato’s paintings and prints display fragmented compositions that look almost digital. They emphasize overlapping rectangular visual elements that call back to the computer desktop: a chaotic arrangement of windows, images, text, parts. Precisely rendered textures of meat, eggs, skin, and fur are layered with artifacts of online culture, cut-outs, shadows, and imagery of both human bodies and animals. His work speaks to a self-conscious kind of objectification of the body, of introspection and concealed identities.
Contracommon’s gallery is open to the public Friday - Sunday from 12–6pm, and with private viewing appointments available Monday - Thursday at calendly.com/contracommon."
