MYTIMETOURS

“In terms of concealment, I was curious about how we would read these figures under such terms. When we are not privy to their thoughts and actions. I thought it would be exciting to open up the potential to multiple readings and ultimately have no finite answer. Admittedly, from a painterly perspective, it also allowed more room for exploration in material and visual manipulation. It was exciting to consider the figures’ subjectivity under different terms.” When Timothy Lai said this in Juxtapoz in 2024, I couldn’t help but think of this line when looking at his newest body of work, Still. Yet. Still., opening at Jack Barrett this week. In the context of the…

Monya Rowe Gallery is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new paintings by Larissa Bates titled Outside/Inside. Bates’ paintings envision imagined interiors and landscapes stemming from her own childhood and the lives of extended family members. The exhibition explores how our homes and cultures shape us as well as how spaces are created to reflect who we are, or how we want to be perceived.

A few weeks back we sat down with Daniel Gibson ahead of Devil’s Wind for the Radio Juxtapoz podcast (you can listen to that below). The show in question has now opened at Marquez Art Projects in Miami and we wanted to make sure you, dear reader, were aware of such activity and news. The exhibition takes its title from the “Tongva word for the Santa Ana Wind, and comprises a suite of newly commissioned paintings,” all of which you can hear about in the conversation below! 

Matthew Brown is pleased to announce Flame of Vapor, a solo exhibition of new paintings and drawings by Los Angeles-based artist Kent O’Connor at the gallery’s New York location. Working across the traditional painting genres of portraiture, landscape, and still life, O’Connor prioritizes deep observation and engagement, emphasizing the essential presence of artist and subject while making his work.

Fredericks & Freiser and Margot Samel are pleased to present Mourning Sun, a solo exhibition by Dustin Emory (b.1999, Atlanta, Georgia), spanning both gallery spaces in New York. This marks Emory’s first solo exhibition with each gallery, and his debut in New York.

SOCO Gallery is pleased to announce the opening of Still Life at Home, a solo exhibition of new gouache on panel and gouache on paper works by artist Anne Buckwalter. 

Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present Same Time, Same Place, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist Adrian Kay Wong. Returning for his second solo exhibition with the gallery, Wong invites the viewer into the still moments of his paintings. Reintroducing the human form to the recent works, Wong’s paintings move through veiled narratives, rewarding patience and slowness in their consideration. 

Jang Seungkeun’s paintings do not follow the familiar forms of objects. Instead, they capture fleeting impressions and sensations, unfolding them across the canvas. The shapes in his works gather and disperse, take form and then dissolve, softening the boundaries of the pictorial space. This process not only records traces of the artist’s gaze but also creates a dynamic, unfixed spatial experience.

GRIMM is pleased to announce The Holiday Park, a solo exhibition of new paintings and drawings by British artist Caroline Walker. The exhibition is on view at the New York gallery from March 28 to May 3, 2025.

A representational painter whose work is distinguished by sparseness, subtlety, and timelessness, Emily Pettigrew’s pictures emanate a quiet reverence for both history and nature. Pettigrew’s narrative paintings, which depict lone or small groups of figures, landscapes, and American architecture, had their inception in her formative years in Maine. Pettigrew explains: “My love for the starkness of the landscape of my childhood is reflected in a spartanism in my work. My foundational principle of painting is the removal of excess parts—a paring down to an image’s most beautiful elements.”
