An exhibition titled "Jack Leigh & Parker Stewart: In Place" has opened at Laney Contemporary in Savannah, featuring black-and-white photographs by Jack Leigh (1948–2004) and Parker Stewart (b. 1992). Both artists document the landscape and communities of the coastal South, with Leigh known for his work on oystermen, shrimp boat crews, and Gullah Geechee communities, and Stewart focusing on tidal landscapes of coastal Georgia and the Savannah River Basin.

Ex-Votos of Disobedience: Débora Arango in Dialogue with Alfonso Quijano

EXVOTOS DE LA DESOBEDIENCIA: DÉBORA ARANGO EN DIÁLOGO CON ALFONSO QUIJANO

The exhibition "Exvotos de la desobediencia: Débora Arango en diálogo con Alfonso Quijano" at the Claustro de San Agustín of the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, curated by María Belén Sáez de Ibarra, brings together paintings and watercolors by Débora Arango (born 1907) alongside woodcuts by Alfonso Quijano (born 1927). The show proposes a dialogue that addresses persistent violence, inequality, and exclusion in contemporary life, with sacred symbols coexisting with bodies marked by desire, guilt, hunger, and resistance. Arango's work is presented as one of the earliest and most radical expressions of feminism in Latin American art, challenging patriarchal structures that have historically marginalized women and their images from public spaces.

The investigation of intimacy at the center of an exhibition in a Paris gallery

L’indagine sull’intimità al centro di una mostra in una galleria di Parigi

French artist Guillaume Valenti (b. 1987) presents his solo exhibition "Système domestique" at Parliament Gallery in Paris, exploring how personal identity can be conveyed through intimate domestic spaces rather than traditional portraiture. The show centers on repeated depictions of the artist's studio bookshelf, captured from the same viewpoint and proportions, which serves both as a subject and a structural grid. Valenti's paintings investigate the interplay of light, color, and abstraction, with works such as "Grise" (2026) and "Bibliothèque blanche" (2026) using overexposure and artificial coloration to deconstruct realistic representation. Other pieces like "The florist" (2026) depict views from the studio window, further examining the boundary between interior and exterior perception.
