September 11–October 4, 2026
Opening Reception Friday, Sept. 11, 7–10pm
Day and Night Projects is proud to present, Born with Teeth, a solo exhibition by Atlanta artist Noah Reyes. Through the act of erecting temporary walls to cradle paintings, solvent-based image transfers, and ephemera, Reyes creates a landscape that is a home for objects, images, and fragments drawn from contemporary culture and personal hyper-fixations.
Through these constructions, Reyes carries forward the visual language of the construction jobsites on which they were raised. Drawing from the Chicano ethos of Rasquachismo, they apply a scrappy minimalism to the two-by-four stud structures, making the most from the least. These temporary walls become both support and subject, offering an alternative to traditional forms of self portraiture and inviting viewers to recognize themselves in structures that are traditionally considered as incomplete, and continually becoming.
Born With Teeth exists as a visualization of a work-in-progress; a dream yet to be realized but gnawing to get out; a maw with an appetite, inviting and consuming those around it while indulging in the impulse to create without end or apology.
Born With Teeth will open with a free, public reception on Friday, Sept. 11, 7–10pm, and the artist will be present. Viewing hours are Fridays and Saturdays, 12–5pm, or by appointment.
