Beauty Reigns focuses on exoticism, exuberance and optimism in contemporary painting through the work of 13 emerging and mid-career abstract painters. Common  characteristics include high-key colour, obsessive layering of surface imagery, repeated patterns, stylised motifs and a tension between melancholy and the sublime.

Featured artists: Jose Alvarez, Kamrooz Aram, Charles Burwell, Annette Davidek, Fausto Fernandez, Nancy Lorenz, Ryan McGinness, Beatriz Milhazes, Jiha Moon, Paul Henry Ramirez, Rex Ray, Rosalyn Schwartz and Susan Chrysler White.
