BEACHES, CEMETERIES AND PLAYGROUNDS 

Hamideh Behgar & Ten Yetman 

Beaches, Cemeteries and Playgrounds unites artists Hamideh Behgar and Ten Yetman, whose works layer colour and form to uplift heavy worlds. 

Behgar’s sculptural installation The Playground Family—featuring three major works and a multitude of smaller pieces—creates a sanctuary of growth and imagination. Her organic forms and gentle hues evoke the interdependence of humans, animals, and plants, celebrating unity and play as acts of healing. 

Yetman’s neon-saturated paintings merge humor and unease, drawing on influences from Fellini films, DEVO music videos, 1980s fabrics, and Renaissance art. Her surreal creatures inhabit spaces where joy, nostalgia, and horror coexist in equal measure. 

Together, Behgar and Yetman transform their distinct visual languages into radiant terrains of connection. Their works invite us to move through beauty and discomfort with curiosity— reminding us that even within the heaviest worlds, colour and composition can become instruments of survival, connection, and play. 

Exhibition Dates: Oct. 24 – Dec. 6
