Delights
A collaborative exhibition with Antler & Talon Galleries
April 3 – April 26, 2026 

Paradigm Gallery + Studio co-founders Jason Chen and Sara McCorriston are pleased to present Delights, a group exhibition co-curated with Neil Perry of Antler & Talon Galleries in Portland, Oregon.  For the first time since 2018, both galleries are collaborating once again to invite a group of artists to consider transient moments that spike their serotonin. These artists are considering the objects in their own lives that bring a sudden, curious smile across their faces in celebration of what they can describe as delight. Curators Chen, McCorriston, and Perry ponder on the unexplainable triggers that dispense a deluge of dopamine: “As distinct from joy and happiness, which feel much more like a fixed state we can observe ourselves living in, delightful things bring momentary and instantaneous pleasure. As described by the poet Ross Gay, “Delight is like the butterflies, flying around, and landing on the thing that is joy.”

Delights will be on view at Paradigm Gallery + Studio (12 N. 3rd Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106) from April 3 through April 26, 2026, with a public opening reception on Friday, April 3, during Old City’s First Fridays.

Delights will feature the work of:

Rachel Warkentin • André Schulze • Tessa Perlow • Ariel Parrow • Janina Myronowa•
 Kay Seohyung Lee • Genevieve Lavalle • Jeremy Miranda • Mamus Esiebo • Holly Osborne •
Peri Law • Anna Rogers • Traci Johnson • MOTELSEVEN • Marjorie Snyder • Brittany Powell Parich •  Ellen Robinette • Neil Perry • Nayan and Venus • Jason Chen & Alex Eckman-Lawn

About Antler & Talon
Antler Gallery was founded by Susannah Kelly and Neil Perry in 2012 in the Alberta Arts District of Portland, Oregon. The curators quickly gained a reputation for showcasing high caliber, nature-inspired art with a strong focus on technical skill. In 2017 the pair opened a second space, Talon Gallery, in order to broaden their curatorial vision without changing the focus of their original venture. Over the past decade the gallery has hosted monthly events as well as destination exhibitions in New York, Miami, Seattle, Minneapolis and Los Angeles.

About Paradigm Gallery + Studio
Paradigm Gallery + Studio® was established in 2010 by co-founders and curators, Jason Chen and Sara McCorriston. The gallery exhibits meaningful, process-intensive contemporary artwork by emerging and mid-career artists from around the world, with a focus on Philadelphia. In 2023, Paradigm moved locations and opened its new 5-story, 7,000 sq. ft. home, The Paradigm Arts Building, in Old City, Philadelphia. Open to the public, the building boasts multiple floors of exhibition space, integrated in-house design and printmaking, a dedicated events floor, and art advisory offices. With this, Chen and McCorriston expanded their vision for the greater Philadelphia arts community. The gallery is at the heart of this vision, anchoring Paradigm’s overall mission of increasing access to the commercial art world, supporting artists and advancing their careers, and collaborating with like-minded partners to build a more equitable, sustainable arts economy for all.
