Window Dressing LIII
Preetal Shah: Room 112
Exhibition Dates: May 11-17th, 2026
Artist Reception: Friday, May 15th, 2026, 7-9pm
ICOSA presents Room 112, as a part of its Window Dressing Series which will display 112 prints, each representing an alphabetical character and arranged to fill the entire designated wall space. As a whole, the prints spell out a message for viewers to decipher. The experience is at once immersive and interactive, engaging the public to see each print for its composition, while reading each one for its content.
Artist Bio
Preetal Shah (American, born 1977, Los Angeles, California), based in Austin, Texas, draws inspiration for his artistic practice from his background in architecture, graphic design, and graffiti. His latest work navigates the interplay between typography and three-dimensional space, while exploring the abstraction of letterforms and symbols. Preetal has exhibited nationally and locally, with exhibitions in Austin, Houston, and New York.
