Robin F. Williams (b. 1984, Columbus, Ohio) is highly acclaimed for dynamic large-scale paintings of stylized, sentient, ambiguously gendered figures.

In her painting Beachsitter, a male figure, sits atop a stool turned toward the seashore. The subject’s bearded face is partially obscured under a floppy fisherman’s hat, his body covered in a dazzling chevron pattern. The pink of his ruddy face matches that of his sunburnt legs and stool. The figure’s identity is mysterious—he is both en plein air painter and muse, an intriguing subversion of the tropes of modernist painting.

Marquez Art Projects is proud to present Fractured Selves, a solo presentation of recent works by London-based Chinese artist Hao Ming. On view through June 20, 2026, the exhibition marks Ming’s timely debut in Miami, bringing together a body of paintings that navigate the complex psychological terrain of identity, state-enforced uniformity, and the dualities of living between Eastern and Western cultures.

Hao Ming’s practice oscillates incisively between exploration of Chinese sociiety and an examination of Western perspectives on “Eastern” traditions. Working from the diaspora in London, Ming uses his paintings as a vital record of personal musings, charting the emotional weight of being Chinese within a Western framework while simultaneously observing his homeland from a critical distance. His canvases combine acrylic, pastel, and marker to weave intricate historical and cultural tropes into contemporary allegories. Through this distinct visual lexicon, Ming challenges the institutional pressures to flatten individuality and systematically cover up inconvenient societal truths.

Central to Ming’s inquiry is the concept of cultural appropriation operating along a two-way street. He deconstructs how traditional motifs are commodified, oversimplified, and weaponized, both by Western viewers and by state apparatuses seeking to manufacture a unified national identity. By subverting historical symbols and modern political realities, Ming exposes the heavy toll that ideological standardization takes on the individual spirit.

The painting practice of Mannat Gandotra (b. 1998, New Delhi, India) moves between material, gesture and memory. Creating layered surfaces and a restrained yet emotive palette, her compositions often feel suspended. Figures and forms emerge, dissolve and reconfigure with quiet tension. Gandotra’s practice often circles around interiority—how emotions, memories, or psychological states can be translated into spatial or abstract terms.

From the Marquez Family Collection, and currently on view at Marquez Art Projects: Mannat Gandotra, The Sculptor’s Collection of Broken Umbrellas, 2025, Acrylic and charcoal on canvas, 78 x 59 in.

Don’t miss the final day to experience Kat Lyons: Full Earth, on view at Marquez Art Projects through tomorrow, May 16.

In her first U.S. solo institutional exhibition, Kat Lyons presents a suite of newly commissioned paintings exploring the layered ecosystems of Florida and the Everglades—where, as writes in The Art Newspaper, “Full Earth ultimately collapses time and taxonomy, melding the Everglades with the human histories that press upon the ecosystem.”

Through this lens, the work considers how the region’s material and symbolic roles shape our understanding of progress and environmental change.

In Kat Lyons’s painting Trinity Trace, the artist vividly renders an ecosystem brimming with life, movement, and unseen exchanges between a dragonfly, frog, and snake, illuminating the flow of energy and interdependence among species. Rather than a simple food chain, the work suggests a continuous exchange—an intricate choreography of survival, transformation, and balance. This cycle unfolds at the base of a tree, where the tongues of each creature entwine, forming a striking visual metaphor for connection and reciprocity within the natural world.

The exhibition’s title, “Full Earth,” expresses themes of abundance and connection, as well as the perseverance of nature.

“Kat Lyons, Full Earth,” the artist’s first institutional solo presentation, is on view at Marquez Art Projects until May 16.

Austin Lee (born 1983, Las Vegas) explores the convergence of digital processes and physical form. Working from 3D modeling software, he translates his imagery into sculpture that retains the soft gradients and hazy edges of digital rendering. Though materially solid, his figures feel improbably light in space, and almost buoyant, blurring the boundary between virtual and real while reflecting on perception, memory, and the emotional tone of digital life.

In Lion & Girl, two monumental figures stand across from each other—the girl offering flowers as the lion gazes back with quiet tenderness, capturing a moment that feels both surreal and deeply human.

Kat Lyons’s paintings result from extensive research, ranging from scientific phenomena to advertising and art history, as well as her personal experience with livestock and small-scale regenerative agriculture.

“From the Vernal Pond” draws from the artist’s personal experience of watching a pool of tadpoles evolve into frogs, reimagined in her work as a whimsical, dancing line of figures. The work captures the wonder of ecological change and the playful, almost mythic quality of witnessing life in motion.

“Kat Lyons, Full Earth,” the artist’s first institutional solo presentation, is on view at Marquez Art Projects until May 16.

The vibrant, cartoon-infused universe of Kenny Scharf (born 1958, Los Angeles, California) bursts with neon color, playful chaos, and retro-futuristic energy. After moving to New York to study at the School of Visual Arts, Scharf became embedded in the city’s Downtown scene, alongside artists like Jean-Michel Basquiat and Keith Haring, where he began creating work that extended beyond traditional gallery spaces. He became known for painting on unconventional surfaces—everything from discarded objects to club interiors—and for organizing immersive, party-like installations. This laid the foundation for his signature style: dynamic figures rooted in a mix of pop culture, graffiti, and communal experience.

From the Marquez Family Collection, and currently on view at Marquez Art Projects: Kenny Scharf, Anti-Gravity Land, 1984, Oil and spray paint on canvas, 84 x 60 1/8 in.

In Double Country, Lyons presents a haunting convergence of nature and industry, where a white-tailed deer stands in the foreground, its antlers ensnared in the branches of an uprooted tree. In the distance, twin plumes of smoke rise on the horizon: one born of industrial activity, the other from a volcanic eruption, collapsing the divide between human-made and natural catastrophe.

Created within her exhibition Full Earth, Lyon’s work suggests that animals are essential to material culture, and her recourse to history highlights the dangers of the ongoing destruction of wildlife.

The Marquez Family Collection is honored to lend “Phoenix” (2023), by José Delgado Zuñiga (b. Ventura, CA) to the Buffalo AKG Art Museum for its traveling exhibition “Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way,” curated by Andrea Alvarez. This work was originally presented at Marquez Art Projects as part of the artist’s 2023 solo exhibition, “Cusp.”

Rooted in tradition yet endlessly evolving, the exhibition highlights the diversity and innovation of 58 Latinx artists reshaping contemporary art. “Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way” takes inspiration from former U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera’s poem of the same name, and offers a vision of art as expansive and complex as the diaspora itself.

“Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way” is on view at Buffalo AKG Art Museum: March 6, 2026– September 6, 2026 and will be followed by a national tour including presentations at the Des Moines Art Center, the Museum of Contemporary Art Denver, the Phoenix Art Museum, and the Frye Art Museum, Seattle.
