CLAIRE LINDNER – FLAMING WINGS

Posted on 2025-10-06

Claire Lindner’s evocative ceramic creations take the viewer by surprise, blurring the lines between the organic and synthetic, animal and plant life, science and fiction. The sculptures’ sinuous movements and colours seem to transform before our eyes, generating a sense of mystery combined with the awe of discovery. The exhibition Flaming Wings, which follows the solo show hosted in the gallery in 2022, refers to the various dynamic metamorphoses in the French artist’s recent works. The flaming form suggests a shift in typology, where the organic embraces both the plant and animal kingdoms. The colours shift in tone from orange to rust, from purple to green, from yellow to blue. The manipulation of the material and forms, and the porous nature of the surface that softly absorbs light, suggest fluctuations between different periods of growth, decay and stasis: a blazing symbiosis that alludes to transition, the unpredictability of nature and the visionary nature of human creativity.

CASSI NAMODA – NIGHT ALWAYS RETURNS

Posted on 2025-10-06

Painter and visual artist Cassi Namoda crafts images that bridge the personal, the spiritual, and the continental. Drawing from a bricolage of literatures and art histories, her work interweaves memory, dream, cinema, and ecology to transfigure the mythologies as well as the contemporary and historical narratives of post-colonial Mozambique. Vital to her practice is a signature filmic storytelling voice, where recurring characters, locations, and motifs inhabit her canvases like vignettes that merge the documentarian with the magic realist.

Namoda’s newest exhibition, Night Always Returns, unfolds across four nocturnes, each exploring ideas of animality and the sensual aliveness that emerges after dark. Throughout the exhibition, human, animal, and elemental figures are shown in paired relationships that reveal symbolic mirrors and the porous boundary between human and natural worlds.

PETER HALLEY

Posted on 2025-09-29

A central figure in post-conceptual painting since the 1980s, Halley continues to explore geometry as a political language – one that reveals and interrogates the material, digital, and psychological structures that shape contemporary life. Halley, founding publisher of the influential Index magazine (1996–2005) and former director of Yale’s esteemed M.F.A. painting program, has moved fluidly across disciplines throughout his career. Whether through painting, writing, teaching, or publishing, he has consistently maintained a critical focus on the intersections of art, technology, and ideology.

Halley’s paintings have long traced the systems – both visible and invisible – that govern our lives. For over four decades, he has worked with a visual lexicon of “cells,” “prisons,” and “conduits,” drawing on the legacy of 20th-century geometric abstraction not to transcend reality, but to analyse its mechanisms of control. Where Minimalism envisioned the grid as a space of aesthetic order, Halley reimagined it as a charged network: wired, surveilled, and embedded within the logics of power.

CAROL BOVE – NIGHTS OF CABIRIA

Posted on 2025-09-29

In Nights of Cabiria, Bove reflects on the industrial heritage of Los Angeles as a Cold War–era center for precision aerospace and weapons manufacturing, along with subcultural expressions of that focus such as surfboard production, with its devotion to perfect surface finish. The exhibition design responds to the unique architectural features of the Beverly Hills gallery and makes use of reclaimed structural scaffolding components called “soldier beams.” This scaffolding, intended for applications in civil engineering, provides the components for an architectural folly that supports two of the sculptures and partially reconfigures the gallery space.

GIANNI ASDRUBALI – OTHER PAINTING

Posted on 2025-09-29

The exhibition, arranged across both galleries, with which the artist has cultivated an intense dialogue for decades, is in the form of an anthology that retraces the essential milestones of his artistic research from his earliest days. The two sections are conceived in continuity, with intersections, tangencies and, in some cases, interweavings that keep them in constant conversation.

URS FISCHER – AFTER NATURE

Posted on 2025-09-22

Marshaling a dizzying variety of materials and methods, Fischer explores themes of perception and representation. He distorts scale and reimagines common objects and images through technological intervention, reworking historical genres and motifs while embracing transformation and decay. In After Nature, Fischer presents a new suite of paintings on aluminum depicting dust salvaged from his studio floor, a large-scale soft sculpture of a reclining female figure, and an interactive video installation.
