A remarkable lightness emanates from a group of new paintings by Julian Lethbridge completed over the past two years. In striking contrast to earlier works, the artist’s structural foundation and liberated hand are illuminated in radiant color. Deep blues, iridescent whites, and vibrant reds enliven the richly textured abstractions to inform an immense spatial depth and atmospheric brightness.

An essayist with a brush, Moore connected complex ideas in his works and illustrated a polymathic desire to elucidate the wonder and anguish of the world around him. He turned to painting as his primary form of expression in the late 1980s, considering it “an intensely sensual activity” that occupied both a limitless and bounded space: “When a painting is activated, my universe seems to cease at the framing edge.”

The fabled American Dream was long ago relabeled a myth. And yet, it continues to be pulled by two opposing forces: a myopic nostalgia versus an angry, factual calibration of realities. In his images, Mann navigates the surrealism of the banal to peek behind the curtain of the past, and to come to terms with the present.

This In Focus presentation will feature four new paintings that are Rawles’ most abstract works to date and which continue her critical investigation into the complicated relationships between race, narrative, and positionality. Widely-known for her ability to elevate hyperrealism with poetic gesture, Rawles depicts her subjects submerged in water, a space that signifies renewal and leisure but has also been historically charged for Black bodies.

In this exhibition, Lisa Yuskavage continues her long-standing exploration of what constitutes a model, exceptionally summoning the history of her own work as part of that process. Its two rooms are defined by contrasting moods that the artist has often intertwined within individual paintings, and which both engage with aspects of art making.

The exhibition highlights new works from Amer’s most recent series of paintings, The Women I Know. In this series, the artist creates intimate painted and embroidered portraits of the women she knows personally to explore the dynamics of the gaze and female identity that are exchanged between artist, subject, and viewer.

Like a whirlwind, the pandemic has upheaved us and locked us into our homes. Forced in like strangers in our own familiarity. What was once a comfort zone sheltering us from fear became brick and mortar, a prison we had to bear. Our home, a new kind of bizarre frontier brought on by an invisible enemy. A tragic story. However, not a new one.

Objects for Living: Collection II, Daniel Arsham’s first solo exhibition at the gallery. Arsham, whose approach has included art, architecture, performance, fashion and film, poetically blends multiple universes into his ambitious design practice.

Tanega’s paintings were shown mostly within a local context: in and around Claremont, or neighboring cities including Pomona and Riverside, and occasionally in Los Angeles itself. Consequently, Tanega’s art remains largely unknown outside of Southern California. The White Columns exhibition is a focused survey of her work from the late 1960s to the early 2000s that juxtaposes Tanega’s visceral, psychological portraits with her visionary paintings of the landscape.

Social Works considers the relationship between space—personal, public, institutional, and psychic—and Black social practice. With a wide range of material and theoretical approaches, the work on view is united by a conscious engagement with today’s cultural moment, in which numerous social factors have converged to produce a heightened urgency for Black artists to utilize space as a community-building tool and a means of empowerment.

While researching Google Photo Sphere images of the parks, the artist observed that the algorithm removed people from its shared photos, seemingly for privacy reasons, but left behind their distorted and artifacted shadows. The shadows are shown just as the artist found them, the result of the west’s radiant sun and algorithmic interventions.

The exhibition, comprised of all new paintings created in 2021, will also be the Marfa-based artist's first solo show in New York. Defined only by its forsaking of serial style or technique, Hanos's work ranges from playful, enigmatic compositions to dense, photographic paintings and psychologically gripping environments, representing the artist's mastery of his medium.

Over the past decade, Atkins has created a complex body of work that considers the relationship between the corporeal and the digital, the ordinary and the uncanny, through high-definition computer-generated (CG) animations, theatrical environments, elliptical writings, and syncopated sound montages. With these filmic and text-based artworks, Atkins tracks forms of feeling, living, and communicating hidden behind or curtailed by technological representation, which unfold into sensitive and often somber narratives.

Abstract Cartography focuses on a crucial five-year period in Robert Smithson’s development: 1966 to 1971, a time when his “inklings of earthworks” began. This careful selection of artworks traces Smithson’s radical rethinking of what art could be and where it could be found.

For as long as suburbs have existed, life in their quiet communities has been a subject of intense interest. They are governed by particular rules of conduct and social expectations that set them apart from cities. Relationships among neighbors involve a strange commingling of secrecy and voyeurism. And underneath their ostensibly calm surfaces there is often a wealth of eccentricity and darkness hiding, as explored through many notable films, television shows, works of photography, books and more from the mid-20th century to today.
