RADICAL FUN is kicking down the doors with a riot of color, chaos, and creativity! This isn’t some buttoned-up gallery stroll—it’s an electrified, full-speed collision of rebellion and joy. Expect art that shocks, disrupts, and celebrates the bizarre, the bold, and the beautifully unhinged.
Spray-painted mayhem? Absolutely. Sculptures that look like they clawed their way out of a punk rock dreamscape? No doubt. A vibe that feels like a back-alley arcade colliding with an underground warehouse party? You better believe it.
RADICAL FUN unites 14 audacious visual artists across multiple mediums! Next up: Gret Sterrett Smith, featured above, who’s art is a surreal dance of color and form, where unexpected connections spark new ways of seeing and feeling, and Rory Gevis, whose vibrant, soul-shaking canvases refuse to be ignored. And that’s just the beginning.

Gret Sterrett Smith earned her BFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1980, studying under influential artists and engaging with dynamic literary and artistic circles. She recently exhibited her sculptures alongside painter Peter Acheson at Slag&RX Gallery in New York. Working from her Hudson Valley studio, she explores a variety of media. Her connection to the military is personal—her older brother, Peter D. Smith, served as an MP in the Vietnam War’s Demilitarized Zone during the Tet Offensive in 1968.
Displayed above is Rory and her featured RADICAL FUN creation, “Millicant.”
Rory Gevis, born in New York City, grew up surrounded by images and imagination, finding inspiration in her father’s photos from his time as a soldier during the Korean War. This early connection to military imagery, along with her passion for storytelling, guided her career as a style director for top magazines before transitioning to the world of painting. Now a full-time artist, her work blends nostalgia with surrealism, creating mythic worlds where emotion lingers and beauty is felt. Her father's military service, immortalized through photos and film, deeply influences her art, which has been featured in prestigious publications and galleries.
Get ready to unlearn, unhinge, and unleash—RADICAL FUN is here to wreck the ordinary and make mischief with meaning. Opening May 10th at the Savage Wonderground Art Gallery.
