Tiny Gallery is thrilled to bring Cosmic Summer by Gabe Chiarello, a mixed-media artist based in High Bridge, NJ, to Atlantic Health's Medical Arts Center. Chiarello's four installations feel plucked from another dimension—part vintage boardwalk, part lunar daydream.

“This work is heavily inspired by vintage Jersey Shore signage, beaches, rides, silly space alien imagery, ray guns, cosmic bowling, and roller rinks. They started out as paintings and morphed into 3D works,” says Chiarello. “In collaboration with Tiny Gallery, those sculptures have turned into an all-out immersive event that brings elements from the work into the real world.”

Explore the happy weirdness of orbiting ice cream trucks and Saturn-shaped cones. Part sculpture, part cosmic adventure, each installation offers a little escape from the everyday—and an invitation to enter a world that's entirely your own.

Gabe Chiarello is a New Jersey-based visual artist and multi-instrumentalist. Never high-brow or self-serious, Chiarello’s work is colorful, whimsical, and decidedly fun. Tapping into childhood inspiration Chiarello’s installation is some of his most imaginative and accessible to any age demographic. Chiarello likens it to looking at the world like a Rorschach Test, seeing hidden images and meanings within mundane objects and pulling them to the surface with a playful and creative mind.
