Featuring Chris Arnold and Gregg Emery

Colabella Fine Art is pleased to present the work of Chris Arnold and Gregg Emery at CONTEXT Art Miami 2026, bringing together two distinct contemporary practices connected by an exploration of nature, material, movement, and the balance between intention and chance.

Chris Arnold approaches the natural world as both subject and storyteller. His paintings explore the connections between nature, environmental awareness, and conservation, using contemporary imagery to give visual voice to landscapes, wildlife, and ecosystems. Through color, composition, and unexpected encounters, Arnold invites viewers to look more closely at the natural world and reconsider their relationship to it.

Gregg Emery creates richly layered abstract works built around two recurring forms—the circle and the rectangle. Working with a physical, process-driven approach, Emery drags pigment across muslin, allowing individual marks, colors, and textures to interact in ways that are deliberately controlled yet never entirely predictable. His paintings embrace contradiction: simplicity and complexity, clarity and confusion, structure and spontaneity.

Presented together, Arnold and Emery offer two very different interpretations of the forces that shape our surroundings. Arnold looks outward to the visible natural world, while Emery turns toward its underlying rhythms, gestures, and organic unpredictability. The result is a presentation that moves between representation and abstraction—united by a shared fascination with beauty, imperfection, and the role of chance.

Colabella Fine Art will present Chris Arnold and Gregg Emery at CONTEXT Art Miami, December 1–6, 2026, during Miami Art Week.
