M+B is pleased to present “We should be home by now,” an exhibition of new works by Leo Mock. The exhibition will be on view from December 13, 2025 through January 10, 2026, with an opening reception on Saturday, December 13, from 6 to 8 pm.

“We should be home by now.” The sentiment embedded in the title hovers over the autumn weatherscapes like a distant love. Should we have arrived somewhere meaningful by now, somewhere steady, fulfilling, spiritual, or even just terrestrially grounded? But arrival is always fleeting, always provisional. Home, if it exists at all, is a sensation that evaporates the instant we attempt to grasp it, as mutable as a cloud. The exhibition’s title, lifted from David Bowie’s song Time, with all the implied yearning and sly existential ache, frames Leo Mock’s suite of paintings, which feel at once personal and cosmically estranged.

Kristof Santy: Perfect Days is on view through October 25

Santy draws on his archive of observational drawings—small-scale, wax-and-pencil studies of tools, plugs, or glassware—which form a kind of design language underpinning his larger canvases. These sketches appear here, not as preparatory fragments, but as equal counterparts, reinforcing the artist’s commitment to distilling form without diluting meaning.

M+B is pleased to present Howard L. Bingham, The Rumble in the Jungle, a commemorative exhibition part of the gallery’s ongoing twentieth anniversary online exhibition series. Featuring newly produced estate prints, the exhibition revisits one of the most storied moments in twentieth-century cultural history, Muhammad Ali’s triumphant 1974 bout against George Foreman in Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo).

Rendered in vivid color, these photographs capture Ali’s charisma and complexity as he navigated the eight-week odyssey that culminated in the legendary heavyweight championship known as The Rumble in the Jungle. Bingham, Ali’s longtime confidant and chronicler, moves fluidly between the spectacle and the intimate, tracing the boxer’s presence from the ring to the streets, from jubilant public appearances to moments of quiet reflection.

The exhibition is viewable online. Please inquire for availability.

Kristof Santy: 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘋𝘢𝘺𝘴 is now open! The exhibition will be on view through October 25.

Rendered in Santy’s signature style of clean lines, bold silhouettes, and saturated palette. 𝘗𝘦𝘳𝘧𝘦𝘤𝘵 𝘋𝘢𝘺𝘴 is populated by icons of the familiar: hamburgers, ketchup bottles, pencils. They are studied, almost affectionate renderings that hover between illustration and memory. The works favor stillness over spectacle, repetition over climax. Their power lies in precision, restraint, and Santy’s ability to elevate without embellishment.

Santy draws on his archive of observational drawings, small-scale, wax-and-pencil studies of tools, plugs, or glassware, which form a kind of design language underpinning his larger canvases. These sketches appear here, not as preparatory fragments, but as equal counterparts, reinforcing the artist’s commitment to distilling form without diluting meaning.

Kristof Santy: Perfect Days - Opening Tonight!

In Perfect Days, Kristof Santy expands his universe of flattened interiors, stylized gastronomy, and folkloric gestures, delivering a wry and affectionate catalogue of life’s minutiae. Borrowing its title from Wim Wenders’ 2023 film—an ode to repetition and routine—the exhibition continues Santy’s interest in figures and objects shaped by the daily rhythms of work, solitude, and observation. As in his earlier show Hermit (Casa MB, Milan, 2024), Santy remains tethered to the tasks that structure domestic space, but here, a quiet sociability emerges. The world is still structured by habit, but now the artist seems to peek over the hedges.

As part of our summer series celebrating M+B’s 20-year anniversary, we’re proud to spotlight the work of Mike Brodie.

While Mike first began photography with a Polaroid camera in 2004, at the age of 19, capturing unique people and gritty, raw situations during his life hopping freight trains–it quickly became clear that he was far more than a fly-by-night kid with a passing interest in snapping pictures. Mike caught the attention of the art world as an autodidact savant of authentic photography, possessing true, raw talent and his career took off.

The exhibition is available to view online. Please inquire for availability. (310) 550-0050

LAST DAY TO VIEW
Jonathan Casella: Blue Sentinel

Jonathan Casella’s Blue Sentinel marks a decisive evolution in the artist’s practice—retaining the graphic precision and visual velocity of his earlier Double Star paintings, while stripping them down to a denser, more self-contained syntax. In this new body of work, the compositions operate less like constellations in motion and more like sentinels: stoic, standing forms bristling with intention, bearing a kind of structural vigilance.

Rendered in a moody, weighted palette of blues, browns, and saturated blacks—with assertive flashes of pink, lavender, and pale yellow—the works deploy sharp geometries and weapon-like motifs that teeter between architectural schematic and abstract icon. The visual language is distinctly Casella’s: hooked and bladed shapes recur like ceremonial tools; fields of patterned dots evoke steel rivets or tactical adornment. But what’s most striking here is the palpable density of each canvas. These aren’t just energetic pictures—they are formidable constructions, self-contained and fully armored.

JONATHAN CASELLA: Blue Sentinel
On view through August 2nd

Each painting reads as a watchful presence, a hybrid of sculpture, signal, and emblem. Though abstract, the forms suggest bodies in tension, poised between action and stasis. Platforms and base-like gridding structures at the bottom of several compositions subtly reinforce the notion of display or elevation, as though these works were not just paintings but figures presented for contemplation—or command.

Lines arc and jitter across surfaces, tracing raw, expressive overlays atop otherwise calculated geometry. This visible hand imbues the pieces with both immediacy and interiority. The balance between rigid structure and spontaneous mark-making gives the works a compelling tension, one that mirrors the conceptual push-pull between stoicism and threat, between containment and charge.

MAY 17 • BILL JACKLIN • CITY TO THE SEA

M+B is pleased to present City to the Sea, an exhibition of works by artist, Bill Jacklin. This marks Jacklin’s first solo presentation with the gallery. The exhibition opens on Saturday, May 17 with an opening reception at the gallery from 2 to 6 pm.

In true British spirit, we’ll be serving tea, coffee, scones, and a selection of sweet treats. Join us for a relaxed afternoon as we celebrate the exhibition opening.

Over the past five decades, British-born, New York-based painter Bill Jacklin has indelibly shaped the visual language of contemporary urban life. A Royal Academician since 1991, Jacklin first emerged from the British art scene in the 1970s, making a decisive shift from abstraction to figuration—a move that would come to define his practice. Since relocating to New York in 1985, his work has been the subject of numerous institutional exhibitions, including major solo shows at the Museum of Modern Art Oxford and the Royal Academy of Art in London, UK. His paintings are held in the collections of the Tate, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the British Museum, and the Victoria & Albert Museum, among others. His commissions include: Futures Market commissioned by the Bank of England, The Rink commissioned by the Metropolitan Airport Authority (design architect César Pelli) and The Park commissioned by DeBeers London as well as others. Represented by Marlborough Gallery for much of his career, Jacklin has forged a distinctive vision—one that conjures the crowd as both subject and sensation, the city as both atmosphere and memory.
