The Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC) presents a solo exhibition featuring nationally acclaimed photographer Leonard Suryajaya, and the debut of his newest body of work, Parting Gift: Fitting in America.

Known for his vibrant, elaborately staged portraits—featured in Aperture magazine and exhibited internationally—Suryajaya has quickly become a standout voice in contemporary photography. Living in the U.S. while his family remains in Indonesia, he uses photography to explore distance, belonging, and who is allowed to be seen as family in America today. The result is a series of bold, emotionally charged images that are playful, layered, and deeply human, inviting viewers into scenes where intimacy, identity, and national myths collide.

An Impossibly Normal Life by Matthew Finley

February 27 - April 18, 2026

The Colorado Photographic Arts Center (CPAC) presents An Impossibly Normal Life, a solo exhibition by photographer Matthew Finley. Drawing from found snapshots collected worldwide, Finley constructs a fictional visual history of his Uncle Ken, reimagining a life shaped by queer love, freedom, and self-expression. Through the addition of glitter and rhinestones, Finley transforms intimate, everyday moments into acts of affirmation—celebrating joy, resilience, and the radical power of being seen.
