Bitfactory Gallery carries us into the new year with a powerful new show, on view Dec 19, 2025 – Jan 10, 2026, at 851 Santa Fe Drive.
“Deconstructing the Zeitgeist” features abstract work by Jude Barton, Clint Eccher and Brayden Espinosa. Each artist brings their distinct approach to composition, mark-making and material, creating a dynamic exhibition that feels both rigorous and alive yet disquieting. The public is invited to an opening reception on Third Friday, December 19, 6-9 p.m., and to stop by from 6-9 p.m. during the January 2nd First Friday Art Walk on Santa Fe Drive. Also on view during regular gallery hours, Tues. – Sat. 11 a.m. – 4 p.m.
As gallerist and curator, Bill Thomason, explains, “The dialogue between Barton’s intentional, minimalistic, geometric abstractions and the brash, charged, almost reckless brushstrokes of Espinosa’s abstract expressionism, anchored by Eccher’s darker, urban, and dense neo-primitivism sitting between them, creates a dynamic field of exchange without tipping into visual excess.” He goes on to say, “The tension, push and pull, and underlying sense of unease I wanted the viewer to experience required a very specific dialogue between the works.”
