Georgian artist Wekua presents a series of new paintings that continue upon his multimedia approach in articulating familiar yet strange, specific yet ambiguous representations of memory. Utilizing processes of layering, silk-screening, and collaging with oils, charcoals, and pencils, Wekua builds upon many layered surfaces to bring forth complex narratives that combine facets of history, geography, fantasy, and memory into physically and conceptually dense compositions.

Debuting a jubilant new suite of monumental flower paintings, Jorge Galindo: Verbena continues the artist’s ongoing exploration of flora and its representation in art across centuries and genres. Titled after the small, wild vervain plant characteristic of the artist’s hometown of Madrid, Galindo’s flowers simultaneously nod to the popular Spanish street celebrations of summer– the verbenas of Spain’s capital city reinvigorate centuries-old traditions through contemporary reinterpretation.

Known for his critical and poetic digital artworks, Lozano-Hemmer incorporates a wide range of technologies in his practice, including artificial intelligence, robotics, interactive fountains, computerized surveillance, and mapped projections. Situated at the intersection of architecture and performance, his often participatory, public-facing works have been inspired by phantasmagoria and animatronic traditions. Through his installations, Lozano-Hemmer has examined social and political issues; literary histories; and natural, scientific, and physiological phenomena.

A broad range of drawings, from observation, imagination, and everything in between, are represented in the book and in this exhibition. The varied and lively works demonstrate how drawing is a way of constructing ideas and observations as much as it is a means of expressing them. In the book, Drawing Thought, Andrea Kantrowitz interweaves drawings and text, integrating recent findings in cognitive psychology and neuroscience with accounts of her own artistic and teaching practices.

Thomas’ retroreflective works exhibit an interest in the repetition of mass-produced imagery and attention to the hand of the artist, referencing works by Andy Warhol and Robert Rauschenberg. Trained as a photographer, Thomas has always focused on framing and context, and often appropriates archival images along with new or rarely used technical processes.

Holmes examines and repositions perceptions, experiences, and themes of Black life as they relate to both African American history and contemporary realities. Various signifiers of status and power, luxury and appropriation, acceptance and exclusion are significant themes in the artist’s work. Ornate gold frames simultaneously reference the exclusivity of art museums (Holmes did not visit one until he was an adult), and the colonial looting of gold from Africa, foregrounding the historical complexities of power and the difficult history behind much cultural presentation in institutional contexts.

We have come to display but may come back to destroy, a collection of watercolors on paper rooted in organic forms, which the artist meticulously usurps and transforms. Leveraging natural matter as a point of inspiration, Thorpe creates fantastical vegetations, fashioning imagined worlds and meticulously transcending the limitations of natural and built environments.

In Jason Martin’s paintings paint is both the material and the motif. In his first exhibition in New York since 2018, the artist’s monochromatic oil works explore their own materiality, sculptural presence and transmutative nature. Martin begins on these paintings with only the essentials – a small selection of colors in similar tones, a few brushes or tools and a number of square aluminum panels.

Nature, history, and the relationship between humans and the land foreground the visual identity of Luiz Zerbini’s artistic practice. Integrating both geometric and organic forms, his work draws upon the natural and urban imagery of his native Brazil. Lush, undulating vegetation and earthen textures meet mosaic-like facades and linear architectural constructions, bringing these ecologies into a shared landscape.

Borrowing its title from a song written by Leonard Cohen on a visit to his ancestral homeland of Israel during the Yom Kippur War, Lover, Lover, Lover employs the aesthetics of Disney animation to reflect on the many “lovers”—god, birthplace, friend, father, mother, spouse, and child—that we have, lose, and move between. Colen, who is also Jewish, relocated briefly with his family to Israel when he was five years old, an experience that shaped his idea of home in all its charged complexity. Lover, Lover, Lover, which was conceived of during another pivotal moment in the artist’s life, explores this perception in concert with ideas of tradition, influence, and the always-fraught American dream.

Hughie Lee-Smith’s body of work spans nearly seven decades. He came of age in the midst of the Great Depression, spending his early life primarily between Cleveland and Detroit. He was in Chicago from 1943-45 where he enlisted in the Great Lakes Naval Station. The Midwest left an indelible influence on Lee-Smith, whose Social Realist paintings made reference to its expansive gray skies and industrial architecture.

The artist’s stylistic evolution in this regard was intimately tied to his sense of place and the communities with which he engaged. Kandinsky gained insight from meaningful intersections with artists, musicians, poets, and other cultural producers, especially those who shared his transnational vision and experimental bent. Uprooted time and again, he adapted with his every relocation across Germany, back to Russia, and eventually to France—all against the backdrop of the sociopolitical upheavals occurring around him.

Paintings and drawings closely related to The Red Studio will help to illuminate the picture’s history: its rejection by the patron who commissioned it, its international travels, and its eventual acquisition by MoMA. A rich selection of archival materials, including photographs and letters, will reveal new information about the painting’s subject and history. The exhibition will also explore the radical nature of its almost entirely red surface and present recent discoveries about the process of its making.

Genovés, in the midst of an era of political turmoil during the Spanish Civil War, witnessing the rise of the Franco dictatorship at a young age. This turmoil catalyzed him to emerge as a distinct artistic and activist voice in opposition to fascism and injustice, serving to inform his visual language and signature motif of the crowd. Developed in the early 1960s, the crowd paintings, typically executed from an aerial view, depict groups of people fleeing, hiding, or being harmed by agents of the state, thus creating a landscape of bodies in motion.

While the artist has gained renown for his performances and pseudo-documentaries, his practice also encompasses painting, installation and writing. His work explores the history of art, using mimicry and satire to question the role of the institutions and narratives that define it. In recent years, Li Ran has been surveying antagonist roles in theatre, stage art, make-up design and the production of foreign and espionage films created in China since the 1950s. He uses painting to present the transformations associated with character scene posing and voiceover monologues.

The two series work in dialogue to expand Capote’s iconic seascapes towards a wider, global spectrum of reflection by underscoring the values, symbolism, and cultural importance of the culled materials used to create the works: recycled fishhooks, deconstructed barbed wire, gold leaf, and plaster amongst others.
