BIRDS AND BEASTS OF THE STUDIO - WALTON FORD
12 APR - 20 OCT, 2024
American artist Walton Ford (b. 1960) established his reputation in the 1990s with his monumental watercolor paintings of wild animals inspired by true or legendary stories of dramatic encounters between humankind and nature. Fascinated by the perception of wilderness in the collective imagination and by the consequences of human behavior-from colonialism to climate change for the future of wildlife species, Ford develops complex narratives that have renewed the genre of animal painting.

NEW PASTORALS - DAVID SALLE
26 SEPT - 02 NOV, 2024
It should come as no surprise that David Salle would partner with AI to create a new series of dynamically constructed paintings, the New Pastorals (2024–). This collaborative pivot marks an inflection point in a career spent scanning the image banks of popular culture and art history for striking and resonant forms, which he amalgamated into searing, disjunctive compositions. Ever attuned to developments in digital art, Salle saw AI as a readymade tool for reaching beyond what he already knew about the process of painting in his vast experience as an image maker.
In Brooklyn
UNSEEN REALITIES
21 SEP - 13 OCT 2024
A group exhibition where artists were invited to search within themselves to express and make visible that which is invisible; that is, to represent within their art what they consider to be those elements or characteristics which are inborn or inherited, and which have affected their lives.

LOOK DOWN - JAGO
@THOMAS PAINE PARK
17 JULY - 17 OCT, 2024
When Italian artist Jago arrived in New York City in 2018, his attention was drawn to the conspicuous presence of homeless people sleeping on the streets. After a few months, however, he realized that he had become numb to their presence, passing by them without noticing them anymore. This realization affected him deeply, making him reflect on the fact that each homeless person had been a child.
