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…

Harper’s is pleased to announce Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter, and Spring, Brooklyn-based artist Sung Hwa Kim’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. The presentation features new paintings by Kim and opens Thursday, March 6, 6–8pm, with a reception attended by the artist. 

Perrotin Tokyo is pleased to present Bath, a solo exhibition of paintings and works on paper by London-based artist Sara Anstis (b. 1991 Stockholm). This is her first presentation with the gallery.

GRIMM is pleased to present Chambers, an exhibition of new paintings by Angela Heisch, on view at the Amsterdam gallery from March 15, until May 10, 2025. This is the artist’s third solo exhibition at the gallery and her second in Amsterdam.

VSF announces Mark Yang’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery and his second in our Los Angeles Space, Cryptic Aperture. In 2024 Yang began making paintings in pairs, not opposites or twins, but siblings and companions – compositions that emerge from a similar foundation and evolve into unique expressions of the same DNA. Yang’s signature figurative abstraction is on full display here, playing with deep and detailed looking at historical paintings and compositional strategies, Yang has built a body of work that arrives at an analysis of his understanding of the viewer’s perception of his own signature style.

We don’t need to remind you about our love and inspired writing and conversations about and with Danielle Mckinney: she has been the cover of the print edition and a recent guest on the Radio Juxtapoz podcast. Obviously, part of our admiration and interest in the work is the suspension of time in her works, this sort of incredible sense of intimacy, non-era-defined scenes, the solitary power of being alone. They are, indeed, powerful works. For TEFAF Maastricht, Marianne Boesky will pair the smokey, compelling and singular works of Mckinney with Edward Hopper, he too a painter of suspended time and nostalgic loneliness. It is, in so many ways, a perfect…

I just found out that Britt Lower from Severence joined the circus between season 1 and season 2, and presumably, before they start shooting season 3. I don’t know why this is significant to Eric McHenry’s Paying the Clowns at One Trick Pony, but there is a surreal and sinister sort of portrayal coming from these works. But they are beautiful and quirky, a sort of kitsch meets nostalgic theatrical setting. But something about the performative aspect of the circus connects with a desire to witness an other, a differecnt dimension, a different reality and yet still be connected to the present. These works take you somewhere and give you…
