Cosmic Summer at Freeman Gardens

Tiny Gallery is thrilled to present Cosmic Summer by Gabe Chiarello, a mixed-media artist based in High Bridge, NJ. Chiarello’s five 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, Saturn-shaped cones, and a tribute to the dizzying cult-favorite carnival ride: the Gravitron (on view at Lackawanna Station). These aren’t just sculptures—they’re portals to another dimension.
