American Cathedral by Thomas Wortham Rallis

Displayed at Revelry Gallery during September 2026.

Revelry welcomes back artist Thomas Wortham Rallis for his second solo show, American Cathedral.

This show is a continuation of his previous work on Americana. Through the use of oil paintings and mixed media relief sculptures, Thomas recasts iconographic figures as religious shrines. Here, he imagines patriotism as a living deity given form through history, faith and myth. American Cathedral is a visual accumulation of virtues against materialistic culture, asking how a nation can turn pantheonic through the survival of “the dream”.
