CURRENT EXHIBITION
Megan Milani
Layered
Layered debuts new works on paper from Brooklyn-based artist Megan Milani. Each painting starts with a color palette guided by intuition, and a willingness to see what emerges. Layer by layer, a memory takes shape, shifting and settling as the painting comes together. Milani draws from photographs of her home and travels, creating palettes inspired by weathered facades, overgrown gardens, and the small things that reveal themselves when you slow down and look.
Presented at 812 Royal Gallery, Layered comes home to the city where Milani learned to look twice. New Orleans rewards a second glance, and this body of work offers the same experience. The longer you stay with it, the more it gives back. Join us for the opening reception of Layered on Friday, September 25, 2026, from 6:00–8:00 P.M, to experience the fullness of what’s fleeting.

UPCOMING EVENT
Chloe McCarrick- Rêveries
OPENING FRIDAY OCTOBER 23RD, 6:00-8:00 P.M.
New works by Chloe McCarrick bring together women whose lives and imaginations span earth, ocean and cosmos. Moving between scientific discovery, mythology and Gothic literature, Chloe McCarrick creates layered visual meditations on those who have explored, imagined and transformed our understanding of the world.
Each artwork is a reverie on a different woman and her world. The subjects move between astronomy, space exploration, marine biology, Gothic literature and mythology. Together, they travel from the ocean floor to the furthest reaches of the universe.
These works take historical figures, scientific discoveries, natural forms and fragments of story, and layer them into something imagined. McCarrick’s works are not straightforward portraits or biographies. They are visual meditations on the lives, achievements and inner worlds of their subjects.
Engage beyond aesthetics.
812 Royal Gallery’s curatorial approach is rooted in a close understanding of each artist’s practice and personal narrative. By highlighting story, creative process, and cultural context, the gallery invites viewers to engage with art beyond the surface.
Selected Works
Oil on canvas
48 × 36 inches
Nicole Katsuras’s signature bold, expressive, and textured technique of paint application is the definition of extraordinary. Her work recalls nature while playing with form and structure. She emphasizes the shapes hidden in the world around us with thick, impasto oil paints that provide a unique dimensionality to her works.
