January 30th - February 20th, 2025

Inner Worlds, Outer Faces carries the viewer into Ryan Runcie’s vibrant realm, where every portrait becomes both a mirror and a map. The acclaimed Austin muralist traces the quiet exchange between self and surroundings—how each shapes, reshapes, and sometimes remakes the other. Drawing on his vision for social and racial reconciliation, Runcie’s portraits reach for something deeper than tolerance, seeking an empathy that honors difference as beauty. With color, texture, and the openness to be vulnerable, he confronts his own biases and invites viewers to do the same. In Inner Worlds, Outer Faces, the scattered pieces of identity align—forming a whole that is both personal and shared, radiant in its truth.
