AMEDEO POLAZZO – DIE STRUDLHOFSTIEGE

Posted on 2024-12-09

Herald St is pleased to announce Die Strudlhofstiege, the gallery’s first exhibition with Amedeo Polazzo. Encompassing our Museum St premises, a specially conceived mural cradles a suite of paintings which float in and around it, the fresco secco and canvases in gentle dialogue. Polazzo’s work embodies layers, palpable physically, narratively, and temporally. The tableaux and their painted support capture moments of intimate
personal history, whimsical imaginings, and generic stock imagery, softly connected by subtle links which spark an undercurrent language.
The exhibition takes its title from a 1951 novel by Heimito von Doderer (itself named after a Jugendstil public staircase in Vienna) which is set during a period of political and psychological tumult in 1920s Austria.

Exhibition runs through to March 29th, 2025

DERRICK ADAMS – SITUATION COMEDY

Posted on 2024-12-02

Composed with brightly hued, faceted planes of acrylic paint and fabric collage, Adams’s paintings present visions of Black Americana through figures engaged in everyday leisure and enlivened by individual daydreams and fantasies. The paintings convey seriocomic moments of conflict and resolution that draw from the narrative strategies of television sitcoms and movies, sharing a sense of humor and familiarity integral to the genre. They reflect the significance of pop culture and comedy in defining the joys and contradictions of contemporary life.

Exhibition runs through to March 29th, 2025

Galerie frank elbaz is pleased to present the first exhibition of Sopho Kobidze and Elené Shatberashvili, a visual dialogue that reflects their friendship and creative exchange. The exhibition, which oscillates between abstraction and figuration, explores a unique space referred in the title Oblique, a space that defies conventional definitions. Neither perpendicular nor parallel to the horizon, it serves as a meeting point for their artistic worlds, a path that invites free and unrestrained reflection. Through this, they open a singular path for visitors to enter a realm where dreams and reality come together.

Opposite – Sopho Kobidze, Untitled, 2024

Exhibition runs through to May 3rd, 2025

JOAQUÍN BOZ – AMALGAMA

Posted on 2024-11-18

Amalgama is a solo exhibition by Joaquín Boz featuring new paintings which incorporate dynamic juxtapositions of scale, color, material and processes to create eye-dazzling compositions. The paintings range in size, from just 12 x 16 inches all the way to 10 x 15 feet. The juxtaposition of a small painting next to a large one, of one that is densely painted near to one that is sparsely painted, is part of Boz’s vision of creating harmony out of chaos. He carefully combined improvisation and thoughtful editing as he simultaneously worked on all of the paintings over several months. Larger patches of color were reduced in size as new colors were added while some areas were entirely overpainted. One passage might be glossy while another is flat. Some have lines of texture formed by the edge of a knife while others have irregular scratch marks. The overall amalgam is akin to confetti entirely filling the sky.

Opposite – Untitled, 2024

Exhibition runs through to December 21st, 2024

KEITH BOADWEE – HOW MUCH IS THAT FROGGY IN THE WINDOW?

Posted on 2024-11-18

California artist Keith Boadwee returns to New York for the first time since his spectacular joint exhibition with Nicole Eisenman at the FLAG Art Foundation in 2020/21. At WINDOW, Boadwee presents How Much is that Froggy in the Window? which features portraits of frogs, poodles, and emo kids in various poses of reflection while vaping, smoking, holding flowers, or getting ready for a boozy drink. Boadwee, known for his transgressive, psychosexual work that has tested social conventions and acquainted viewers with rebellious subject matter and the artist’s bodily functions as a means to paint, has recently focused on a cast of rather relaxed protagonists whose only predilection for bodily fluids is hinted at in their fondness for the occasional plume of cigarette smoke or water spill.
