Monmouth University, Department of Art & Design, in collaboration with Parlor Gallery in Asbury Park is pleased to present Double Trouble, a groundbreaking exhibition uniting the strong works of Dennis McNett (Wolfbat) and Ben Venom.

These boundary-pushing artists transform traditional techniques into bold cultural statements that challenge, provoke, and inspire.
In illuminating what has been hidden—by history, by progress, or by the limits of perception—Seen & Unseen seeks to reclaim and reframe the narratives that shape our cultural and emotional landscapes.

And how do the spaces we inhabit reflect the spaces within us?
