Gallery Sonder is proud to present Lensing Water, a comprehensive solo exhibition of Los Angeles-based artist Lachlan Turczan, curated by Genevieve Williams. We invite you to the opening reception on Friday, July 25th, from 6 to 9 p.m., in the presence of the artist.

Working at the intersection of physics, perception, and poetics, Lachlan Turczan sculpts with water, light, and sound to reveal the hidden forces that animate the natural world. This exhibition brings together five distinct bodies of work – including his mirrored Sympathetic Resonance sculptures, aqueous Contact Lens vessels, archival Watergram prints, polished stainless steel Annular Optic wall works, and a new laser tank sculpture – offering a comprehensive look at an evolving practice grounded in scientific inquiry and visual wonder.

Turczan’s works are rooted in the study of cymatics, hydrodynamics, and caustics – the optical phenomena that occur when light is bent and focused through water. Using specific sound frequencies to vibrate liquid surfaces, he produces complex light patterns that feel both elemental and otherworldly. These interactions are captured in the Sympathetic Resonance vessels and echoed in the precise geometries of the Annular Optic works, whose mirrored surfaces distort and magnify their surroundings, creating portals of focused reflection.

The exhibition will run from 25 July to 14 September, 2025.

Opening hours: Sonder is open Wednesday to Sunday from 10-6pm. Gallery visits between Monday and Tuesday are also available by appointment.
