Held in Light
May 28, 2026 – July 3, 2026
Galerie56 and Gallery FUMI are pleased to present Held In Light, a solo exhibition by artist and designer Jeremy Anderson, opening May 28th, 2026 as part of the London-based gallery’s residency at Galerie56 in Tribeca. The exhibition marks Anderson’s largest presentation to date, bringing together an expansive body of new furniture, lighting, mirrors, and vessels that explore serenity, materiality, and the quiet poetics of form.
Following the opening chapter of FUMI’s New York residency with Galerie56, Held In Light similarly exemplifies the gallery’s commitment to showcasing artists who bridge traditional craft and contemporary design. Anderson’s presentation will transform the gallery into an environment of calm reflection, offering visitors a space that resists overstimulation and instead invites quiet and contemplation.
At the heart of the exhibition is a new series of lighting works, whose soft illumination and layered construction inspired the show’s title. “There’s a longing for stillness,” Anderson reflects. “For a place that feels safe, not overwhelming. These works are about creating that atmosphere – something gentle, something held.” A palette of blues, purples, pale pinks, and silver underscores this sensibility, evoking a dreamlike, springtime light that shifts subtly across surfaces and forms.
The presentation is unified by Anderson’s commitment to honoring craft traditions while embracing contemporary sensibilities. From hand-thrown vessels and tulipiers to mirrors framed in bronze, each work embodies a dialogue between control and chance. Subtle gestures, such as visible joinery, shifting glazes, and asymmetries, become essential elements of the work’s visual language.
