Event Details

Mirus Gallery San Francisco presents: “Cyclical Snakes and Infinite Inward” – a solo exhibition by Travis Gillan
Opening Reception: Friday, May 15th, 2026 | 6–10PM
Mirus Gallery San Francisco presents Cyclical Snakes and Infinite Inward, a captivating solo exhibition by Travis Gillan. This striking series of intricate paintings invite the viewer to explore consciousness through painted layers of colors with symbolism and shape that emanate a kind
of transformation. Through this body of work, Gillan has formed an emblem of visual language created to inspire unity in our presently fragmented collective psyche. Join us for the opening reception on Friday, May 15th, 2026, from 6–10 PM.

About the Exhibition:
Cyclical Snakes and Infinite Inward is a collection of paintings that bridge 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional planes through symbolism, color and movement that evoke a reconciliation of the schism in the collective consciousness. Gillan’s paintings serve as a beacon of inner transformation, in hopes of dissolving the illusion of separation while illuminating connection. His work explores a duality that mirrors a fundamental paradigm of the human mind, reflecting the reciprocal nature of reality, where inner worlds shape the outer. It suggests a fluid exchange between dimensions of experience, where higher forces may both rise from within and descend from above.

About the Artist:
Travis Gillan is a Colorado-based visual artist whose work is rich with layered symbolism, each piece unfolding like a meditation. Gillan’s work offers deeper insights into the nature of human consciousness and glimpses of what may lie beyond. The conceptual rigor of the work is grounded in a meticulously balanced synthesis of form and opulent color harmony. Each composition reflects a deliberate orchestration of chromatic nuance and structural precision, revealing a thoughtful interplay between surface and depth. Through his use of flat, saturated shapes that intersect with volumetric forms and generate a visual tension that both collapses and expands the perceived dimensional field.
