TOM HAUSKEN: The Space Between

PALM SPRINGS, Calif. - EntSun -- Preview our latest exhibition in conjunction with Fourth Friday, Perez Art District's monthly Art Walk featuring over 30 art galleries, art studios, and shops.

The Opening Reception for this exhibition will be on Friday, September 26 from 4-7pm. The exhibition will continue through November 23, 2025.

Obiect Culture is proud to present The Space Between, a solo exhibition by abstract artist Tom Hausken. Known for his layered, meditative works that balance presence and absence, Hausken's newest series explores the fragile thresholds where one form gives way to another.

In The Space Between, Hausken lingers at the edges: where grassland turns to forest, where sky dissolves into land, where only seed husks, exuviae and other traces life remain after transformation. These are not empty voids but living passages—moments of overlap, aftermath, and becoming.

Hausken's process is one of patience and excavation. Each canvas contains dozens of layers built from acrylics, oils, coatings, inks, natural materials, and shellac, with surfaces scraped, cut, and rebuilt over time. Earlier strata pulse beneath the surface, creating tension and resonance that invite the viewer to sense both emergence and disappearance.

The power of these works lies in the nearness of things—where colors meet, where textures brush against each other, where memory lingers after the event. Each painting is less about representing a specific place and more about capturing the energy of transition itself.

The Space Between invites viewers into an experience of landscape as flux: never fixed, always shifting, holding both what was and what is becoming.

ABOUT TOM HAUSKEN

Tom Hausken's background includes a degree from Seattle Pacific University and post-baccalaureate studies at the University of Washington. His art is shaped by his connection to nature and the places he calls home in eastern Washington and southern Oregon. Hausken's work is informed by his time at residencies such as the Vermont Studio Center, where he received a Pollock-Krasner Fellowship in 2016, and a residency at the Yakima Valley Museum. Hausken's unique approach to layering is a defining characteristic of his work. Each painting develops slowly, as he scrapes, cuts, and reworks the surface. This iterative process creates a dynamic relationship between the layers, suggesting the passage of time and inviting viewers to look closer and feel the "energy" emanating from his abstracted landscapes.
