Tregony Contemporary is proud to present SHIFT, a two-person exhibition by American painters Joe Morzuch and Edmond Praybe. Though each artist brings a distinct voice and sensibility to their practice, both are rooted in a deep engagement with the observed world — responding to the quiet drama of everyday objects, domestic interiors, and shifting spatial relationships through painting.

Joe Morzuch’s still life works are grounded in direct observation, carefully calibrated arrangements, and the slow unfolding of visual attention. His process registers subtle shifts in light, form, and proximity, drawing the viewer into an image that feels both intimate and considered. The ordinary becomes luminous, and perception itself is the subject.

Edmond Praybe’s paintings move fluidly between genres — still life, figure, portrait — with a painterly language that embraces ambiguity, structure, and abstraction. Colour, shape, and spatial rhythm take precedence, and his compositions often suggest

worlds held together by internal logic rather than external precision. It is this balance between construction and intuition that gives his work its quiet charge.

Together, these two artists offer a dynamic dialogue on seeing and making — on how visual experience is translated, filtered, and transformed. SHIFT is both a nod to their shared interest in perceptual change and a celebration of two voices pushing the language of painting forward from within its most enduring traditions.
