Mystic Lands, Brian Sostrom’s third solo exhibition at Momentum Gallery, invites viewers into a world where light, atmosphere, and emotion converge. Known for his luminous landscapes, Sostrom continues to expand the expressive possibilities of the medium, layering richly saturated pigment to create works that feel both ethereal and deeply grounded.
Throughout the exhibition, billowing clouds gather and dissolve above expansive bodies of water, carrying the full spectrum of color from radiant sunrises to the charged energy of approaching rainstorms. Sostrom masterfully captures these fleeting transitions, allowing light to shimmer across his paintings' surfaces and infuse each scene with movement and vitality. His skies seem to breathe; his waters reflect not only the heavens above but the emotional tenor of the moment.
Since first delighting visitors during Small Works | Big Impact in 2019, Sostrom has cultivated a devoted following in Asheville. With Mystic Lands, he deepens that connection, offering immersive landscapes that feel at once familiar and otherworldly, spaces of reflection, wonder, and quiet transcendence.
