A Sanctuary for Art, Stories, and New Beginnings
Unveil Gallery is proud to present Welcome to My Den, the final exhibition in our current space before we move into a new chapter, embracing a fresh model, an expanded vision, and more opportunities for artists and audiences alike.
The exhibition invites viewers into the “den” as a symbolic and physical space: a shelter of comfort and introspection, a cocoon for transformation, and a site of quiet confrontation with one’s own memories, fears, and hopes. Here, the gallery itself becomes a sanctuary, not only for art, but for human connection, storytelling, and the possibilities that lie ahead.
Welcome to My Den brings together seven artists whose practices span drawing, painting, textiles, installation, sculpture. Each transforms the gallery into a layered environment, offering intimate encounters and unexpected thresholds. Together, their works affirm the gallery’s role as a place where ideas can rest, shift, and grow.
Featured Artists
Hans B Wendel — is a Los Angeles–based architectural designer, artist, and educator whose work moves between architecture, art, and design. From contributing to high-profile projects such as Kanye West’s Yeezy domes to exhibiting in Buenos Aires and Los Angeles, Wendel bridges visionary spatial concepts with cultural narratives. His practice reflects a
deep commitment to material exploration, collaborative making, and the poetics of built space.
Sheng Lor — is a Hmong textile artist whose sculptural and painterly works unravel memories, dreams, and folktales shaped by displacement and resilience. Born in a Thai refugee camp to parents who survived the Secret War in Laos, Lor translates hidden histories into patterned surfaces, engaging with both personal and collective trauma as sites of beauty, endurance, and transformation.
Maithili Chaturvedi — re-authors icons of Hindi cinema into intimate, pseudo-self-portraits that explore desire, performance, and the feminine gaze. Working with velvet to manipulate color and light, she transforms the cinematic Woman into a conduit for reflections on agency, spectacle, and self-mythology.
Sigrid Qian — constructs dreamlike thresholds between waking and unconscious states. Her layered oil paintings on canvas and fabric merge domestic familiarity with ethereal ambiguity, creating soft portals into spaces where memory, myth, and spirit converse.
Mahedi Anjuman — is a Bangladeshi-born, Los Angeles–based interdisciplinary artist and educator. Her sculptures, assemblages, and video works emerge from an intuitive engagement with context, examining the dualities of mind and body, self and other, through material presence and spatial negotiation.
Shuai Xu — works across painting, land art, sculpture, and installation to engage with presences that resist definition. By holding space for what remains unspoken or unseen, Xu creates perceptual environments where revelation and obscurity coexist, and the act of seeing is intentionally incomplete.
Álvaro Aguilar — is a multidisciplinary artist from Mexico City whose work investigates color, perception, and cultural commentary through painting and installation. Trained at the Centro de Arte Mexicano and with a background in both art practice and commercial strategy, Aguilar’s exhibitions span Mexico and abroad, earning him a nomination for Mexico’s National Prize for Arts and Literature in 2019.
A Closing that Opens
As our final exhibition in the current space, Welcome to My Den is both a reflection and an opening—a moment to honor the intimacy and experimentation nurtured here, while stepping into a future of expanded horizons. We invite you to linger in this den, to see it as a shared refuge for art, for connection, and for all that can yet emerge.
