Alumni artist Devan Shimoyama MFA ’14 will present new work in his regional debut, SHIFT from January 26 to March 21, 2026 at the Rowan University Art Gallery and Museum in Glassboro, New Jersey. An excerpt on this exhibit describes it as such:
SHIFT will feature the debut of Shimoyama’s most recent body of work, which is inspired by the Major Arcana of the Tarot deck. He stages scenes of transformation alluding to the dialogue between genuine and superficial change. The series reflects on our desire to present contained and perfect versions of ourselves, while suggesting how forms of mysticism, such as tarot reading, can illuminate new pathways through turbulent times.
