OPEN WORLD, NO SAVE POINT by Tess Dumon
As we celebrate opa project‘s 1st anniversary, we are delighted to invite you to a private cocktail event for the opening of OPEN WORLD, NO SAVE POINT by Tess Dumon.
With Open World, No Save Point, opa presents the first solo exhibition in Miami by Paris-based artist Tess Dumon. Her paintings unfold as suspended environments where dream, memory, and decision quietly converge, proposing not escape but orientation within an uncertain present.
Opa projects brings together artists with distinct approaches to question our perception of the everyday and the ability of art to transcend the obvious.
Private Opening Reception: Thursday, February 19, 2026 | 6-9 PM
Exhibition dates: February 19 – March 28, 2026
Location: opa projects, 7622 NE 4th Ct, 33138 Miami
opa projects is proud to present Open World, No Save Point.
For this solo exhibition, Tess Dumon presents a new series of paintings that borrow the language of video games—open worlds, portals, checkpoints—to create poetic, immersive landscapes. Her universe is quiet, nocturnal, and charged with magic. Horizons glow, paths appear, reflections open into other states of reality. Each image feels like a moment just before something happens.
Dumon’s figures do not chase victory. They pause, drift, cross. They inhabit fragile spaces where direction matters more than destination. The paintings offer a rare experience: slowing down, paying attention, and allowing mystery to remain.
Presented by Opa in Miami, Open World, No Save Point resonates with a city shaped by movement and reinvention. It proposes a different kind of progress—gentle, intuitive, and deeply poetic—where there are no shortcuts, no resets, only the beauty of moving forward.
