The Frist Art Museum is presenting a new exhibition that spans 100 years of contemporary Indigenous art, featuring works from both established elders and emerging makers. The show aims to highlight the continuity and evolution of Indigenous artistic practices across generations.
Julian Charrière has created two new bodies of work, *Chorals* (2025) and *Veils* (2025), in collaboration with Maison Ruinart. The projects are inspired by the Lutetian Sea, which submerged the Champagne region 45 million years ago, and explore themes of deep time, climate change, and the interconnectedness of organic and mineral life. *Chorals* is a permanent sound installation in Ruinart's cellars in Reims, featuring amplified recordings of ocean reefs, while *Veils* comprises wall works and sculptures centered on corals and fading coral imagery. The works travel to art fairs as preludes to the permanent installation.
Una mostra a Milano fa dialogare visionari paesaggi contemporanei con un acquerello del grande Turner. Recensione e intervista
The exhibition "Continuum" at Robilant+Voena in Milan marks the first solo show in the city for American artist Maria Kreyn. It presents a selection of her contemporary landscapes—charged with pathos, abstract geometries, and references to art history—alongside a rare watercolor by J.M.W. Turner, *The Splügen Pass* (1842–43). Kreyn’s seascapes, influenced by her background in mathematics and philosophy, feature turbulent waves, ovoid and parabolic forms, and a sense of latent tension, creating a visual dialogue with Turner’s Romantic vision of nature.
Two group exhibitions, *Prakriti: A Quiet Continuum* and *Living Lineages*, have opened in Hyderabad, showcasing a mix of contemporary and folk artists. *Prakriti* features artists like Lal Bahadur Singh, Sumanto Chowdhury, Roy K John, and K. Sudheesh, each exploring nature as both external landscape and inner state through personal lenses. *Living Lineages* brings together indigenous and folk artists including Bhuri Bai, Balu Jivya Mashe, Saroj Venkat Shyam, and Venkat Raman Shyam, highlighting traditions such as Warli, Bhil, Gond art, and Cheriyal scrolls from Telangana. Gallerist Rekha Lahoti notes the exhibitions are designed to create a dialogue between contemporary and living traditions, addressing collector curiosity about their differences.
Artist Sarah Spackman is preparing for a new exhibition titled "Continuum" at the Sarah Wiseman Gallery in Summertown, celebrating 20 years of collaboration with the gallery. The show features 30 new still lifes, reflecting Spackman's evolving style toward greater simplicity and focus on single objects, color, and quiet intensity. Spackman, an Oxford-based artist and elected member of the Royal Society of British Artists and Royal Institute of Oil Painters, describes her process as organic, often sketching first thing in the morning and working primarily with color to let it "talk" on the canvas.
Twenty-six Nepali abstract artists are exhibiting together for the first time at Taragaon Next in Kathmandu in a group show titled 'Forms of Abstraction'. The exhibition, curated by Roshan Mishra, features works by artists including Kiran Manandhar, Sangee Shrestha, Sushma Rajbhandari, Bidhata KC, NB Gurung, Jeevan Rajopadhyay, Laya Mainali, and Nabendra Limbu, among others. Supported by the Saraf Foundation for Himalayan Traditions and Culture, the show explores themes of motion, emotion, nature, architecture, geometry, and culture, emphasizing how Nepali abstraction transforms rather than abandons tradition.
