Buffalo Arts Studio presents Home by Bethany Krull
Buffalo Arts Studio will open Home, a new installation of ceramic and mixed-media sculptures by Buffalo-based artist Bethany Krull, with an opening reception on Friday, Aug. 28, 2026, from 5:00 to 8:00 p.m. as part of M&T Fourth Friday at Tri-Main. The exhibition is on view Aug. 28 through Oct. 31, 2026.
About the exhibition
Home examines the complicated relationship between domestic spaces and the untamed natural world. Krull’s tableaus blur the boundaries between interior and exterior: a living-room chair that sprouts grass where someone once sat, a television that glows with the crackling light of wildfire, a dresser drawer concealing a litter of kittens in a pile of clothing, and a ceiling light transformed into a honeycomb built by a wasp. Together the works invite reflection on how we both distance ourselves from and attempt to bring nature into the spaces we call home.
