We’re excited to announce our upcoming exhibition, “in relation to stillness.” It features work by Abigail Lucien, Manuel Mathieu, Malcolm Peacock, Tadáskía, and Sarah Zapata. The exhibition is curated by Auttrianna Ward and opens on Thursday, February 5 with a reception from 6-8 pm, running through March 27, 2026.

“in relation to stillness,” is a presentation of works that do not ask us to define stillness, but to consider our relation to it. Here, stillness is felt in the labor of the work itself—through repetition, boundary, refusal, and intention. It is a way of working that resists immediacy without retreating from meaning. While the artists in this exhibition move across different materials and lineages, their practices share a commitment to duration, material patience, and time taken rather than time granted.

Ahead of Art Basel Miami Beach (), we visited gallery artist Luisa Rabbia () in her studio to get a sneek peak of “The Network” (2025), which debuts this week in the Meridians sector.

Spanning nearly eighteen feet, this immersive work responds to contemporary social and political upheavals surrounding women’s rights. Inspired by Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo’s “Il quarto stato” (1901), Rabbia reimagines the historic workers’ march as a collective of women moving in solidarity and defiance.

Root-like and cellular structures intertwine figures drawn from myth and collective memory, embodying resilience, kinship, and shared strength. Through layered gestures and visible traces of the hand, the surface becomes a site of both protest and affirmation — a vision of interconnected empowerment.

Currently on view at ADAA The Art Show is Erik Lindman’s “Balke (Comorant).”

Erik Lindman lays down and builds up marks and gestures, ultimately articulating value and attention while asserting the materiality and tactile nature of each painterly composition. His topographical surfaces become the final result of what is buried beneath them, and upon closer inspection, layers of paint reveal further color and traces of discarded elements.

Stop by booth C12 at The Park Avenue Armory through November 6 to see Erik Lindman’s paintings in person or visit the OVR through the link in our bio!

We’re excited for our solo presentation of new paintings by Erik Lindman for ADAA The Art Show! Taking place from November 3-6, 2022, we’ll be in booth C12 at the Park Avenue Armory in New York.

Erik Lindman reinterprets and repurposes cast-aside objects including steel shards, plastic fragments, or canvas webbing for his paintings. He combines a variation of surfaces in a cascade of decisions with a focus on scale and negative space. Laying down and building up marks, gestures, and layers, his topographical surfaces become the result of what is buried beneath them. Lindman’s work serves as a conduit through which individuals are invited to participate in the shared activity of remaking the world, out of the things that exist around and within them.

Currently on view through November 11 is Kamrooz Aram’s solo exhibition, “Elusive Ornament.”

Included in the exhibition are paintings from the artist’s Arabesque series such as the work featured here, “Garden Revelation.” Aram uses this vague term both critically and with purpose, inviting viewers to reconsider the art historical canon that has reduced such a wide variety of forms into a single word that refers to the multitude of cultures identified as Arab—the Iranian-American artist himself is often misidentified as Arab. These considerations are echoed in his process: Aram negotiates the composition of his paintings through additive and subtractive mark-making. Each of these paintings begins with a grid upon which the artist draws with oil crayon, wiping down his marks with solvent and rags and redrawing and repainting it until he achieves a desired composition. Through a conflation of figure and ground, Aram creates compositions that are at once ornamentalized, and at the same time resist superfluous form.

We are pleased to announce “Alex Katz: Gathering,” a retrospective of the artist’s career, will be on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum in New York on October 20th!

Emerging as an artist in the mid-20th century, Katz forged a mode of figurative painting that fused the energy of Abstract Expressionist canvases with the American vernaculars of the magazine, billboard, and movie screen. Throughout his practice, he has turned to his surroundings in downtown New York City and coastal Maine as his primary subject matter, documenting an evolving community of poets, artists, critics, dancers, and filmmakers who have animated the cultural avant-garde from the postwar period to the present.
Staged in the city where Katz has lived and worked his entire life, and prepared with the close collaboration of the artist, this retrospective will fill the museum’s Frank Lloyd Wright rotunda. Encompassing paintings, oil sketches, collages, drawings, prints, and freestanding “cutout” works, the exhibition will begin with the artist’s intimate sketches of riders on the New York City subway from the late 1940s and will culminate in the rapturous, immersive landscapes that have dominated his output in recent years.
