What’s Ripe Will Rot continues Justin Cole’s exploration of life and death’s cyclical nature. In this collection, Cole captures the enormity of time’s passage and surrenders it to the earth. Flowers burn, feral and untamed. Fading figures are conjured in desolate landscapes. In this world, there are no beginnings or endings, only the uncertain middle. With each passing moment, the subjects disappear further into the unknown.

Hilda Palafox is not merely painting; she’s crafting a dialogue—a response to both the beauty and the challenges present in her surroundings. When we first met her, years ago, it was about the mural as a means to communicate, presenting a nuanced but universal language as a pubic act. This kind of work, the public art, reaffirmed the power of art as a vital force for change, resonating in a world that sometimes feels divided. She was a fresh aesthetic in what was, and often is, a male space. And then, with each new project, Palafox continued to elevate the conversation, creating a personal bodies of work in the studio,…

Victoria Miro is delighted to present new paintings by Inka Essenhigh. The New York-based artist’s sixth solo exhibition with the gallery comprises a body of work completed during the past year, featuring botanical, landscape and figurative motifs poised between an exuberant exterior world and an energetic interior consciousness.

Gladstone Gallery presents World Without End, an exhibition of new works by Brooklyn-based artist Aaron Gilbert. Known for his paintings that probe the distance between individuals and their communities, the private and the public, and the real and the conjured, Gilbert imagines the personal narratives that quietly unfold in the corners of our shared societal structures. Guided by myth, an uncanny sense of timelessness, and the artist’s deep interest in storytelling, these emotionally tender tableaux examine how individuals maintain their humanity in a historical moment punctuated by crisis, the looming peril of systemic collapse, and the increasingly totalizing velocity of consumer-driven desires.

Neuroscientists have posited that the conscious mind resembles a theatre. Input and memory coalesce in emotion and ideation. Scenes play out onstage, complete with embedded symbolism and an ever-evolving rationale. Greg Burak’s paintings, too, are not unlike theatre. Compositions are carefully constructed with their inhabitants in mind, methodically planned yet filled with paradoxes. One-point perspective draws attention center-stage while peripheral views fade.

GGLA is proud to present Dormmagory, Los Angeles-based artist DL Alvarez’s premiere solo exhibition in Los Angeles and with the gallery. The exhibition’s title is an amalgamation of the Italian “Dormire”, to sleep, and the non-gender specific name Magory, meaning knowledgeable and inventive. The combination of the two suggests a kind of sleeping knowledge: an emotional, intuitive or even subconscious intelligence. Relating to this idea of the subconscious, Alvarez crafts drawings whose source imagery is pulled exclusively from textbooks and yearbooks from the latter half of the 20th Century. Stripped of context, the images become a non-linear fever dream of graphite and colored pencil on paper, exploring themes of nostalgia, togetherness, absurdity…

Keita Morimoto paints the night like a contemporary vision of Hopper’s Nighthawks. There is human elements and a slight hint of movement in the late night scenes in a Morimoto universe, and the same quiet intensity of being a voyeur in those vulnerable hours. There is just something on the edge of a ghostly happening, a surreal and cinematic distance between you and the scenes before you that is unsettling and yet safe. Our relationship between midnight and dawn is often associated with excess, a night out that lingers into morning, a blurred sense of reality that comes from being at a late-night club, closing down a bar, hanging out…
