TOMAS REDRADO ART is pleased to present a two-person exhibition, Keep Me Satisfied.
featuring new works by Gabriel O’Shea and Nuri Patricia, opening Sunday, May 31, during Progressive Art Brunch from 11:00 AM–4:00 PM.
In this intimate pairing, O’Shea and Patricia approach the body internally, fragmented, fragile, as something seductive and constantly slipping. Yet there is steel and grace in this instability.
Figures appear through gestures, erasures, cuttings, dense passages of color and latex, hovering between exposure and concealment. Flesh is atmosphere; intimacy is fleeting. Both artists treat painting as a physical encounter. Surfaces are layered and remain unresolved, yet insistent; works are vulnerable and charged. Moments of contact disappear, leaving us wanting. Through restraint and release, bondage and beauty, these images are shifting terrains of desire, memory, and sensation; these paintings compel us to linger uncertainly and unresolved yet satisfied in what we didn’t imagine we needed so badly.
Nuri Patricia is a visual artist and poet whose practice uses mythology and allegory to synthesize cultural anxieties, spirituality, and the psychedelic. Patricia’s interdisciplinary process centers on multilayered oil paintings that investigate the political and psychic tension between freedom and constraint. Each painting emerges through an intricate process of layering concrete, oil paint, resin, crushed glass dust, and glass beads.
Patricia studied at The New School and holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Their work has been exhibited at venues such as Swiss Institute, New York; Cob Gallery, London; Harkawik, New York; Murmurs Gallery, Los Angeles; Museum of Contemporary Art Chicago; Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit; EricmFirestone Gallery, New York; Monique Meloche Gallery, Chicago; and Lubov, New York
Gabriel O’Shea (1998) lives and works in Mexico. Gabriel O’Shea is a Mexican multidisciplinary artist whose practice spans painting, sculpture, photography, installation, music, and video. His work navigates the fragile intersections between memory, violence, technology, and the body, exploring the slow corrosion of faith and the traces of decay that linger within the contemporary psyche.
Through dreamlike yet unsettling imagery, O’Shea constructs spaces suspended between serenity and tension, where the figurative dissolves into the conceptual and the body appears as both relic and site of transformation. His practice evokes a quiet sense of estrangement, inviting viewers to confront the elusive boundary between beauty, deterioration, and the uncanny. O’Shea has presented solo exhibitions, including PRELUDIO at Galería HilarioGalguera, Mexico City (2023); OBERTURA at Galería Hilario Galguera, Madrid (2025); and IN PARADISUM in São Paulo, Brazil (2025). In 2026, he will present THRENI at the Museo de la Ciudad de Querétaro, México.
is committed to promoting the appreciation and recognition of contemporary art through a dynamic and historically grounded aesthetic. Since its founding in 2022, the gallery has worked to build a vibrant artistic community, representing emerging and mid-career artists from Latin America whose works explore the boundaries of form, texture, and materiality. Through sustained and dedicated engagement with contemporary practices, TRA aims to position its artists’ productions within the international art circuit.
TRA challenges conventional perspectives and encourages the exploration of innovative artistic forms, prioritizing the creative autonomy of artists and fostering an environment where breaking boundaries and engaging closely with the public are central.
With headquarters in Miami and José Ignacio, a temporary programming in Buenos Aires, and a forthcoming new location in the same city, TRA seeks to foster dialogue between local and international art scenes. Its mission is to create meaningful exchanges that reaffirm its commitment to connecting the region’s cultural richness with the global stage, generating an impact that transcends borders through a program that is rooted yet constantly moving and evolving in dialogue.
In 2025, TRA consolidates this vision by participating in five key international art fairs — arteBA, ArtBo, BA Photo, Paris Photo and NADA Miami — expanding visibility and collecting opportunities for its artists and strengthening its presence in the global contemporary art scene.
