Marat Guelman and the group + - Komma: First of all, it’s beautiful

Marat Guelman's exhibition at Ethan Cohen Gallery in New York (April 23–May 30, 2026) features AI-generated monoprints created in collaboration with the Montenegrin digital art group + - Komma. None of the works were painted by Guelman himself; instead, he programmed AI outputs based on historical models by artists like Picasso, Gauguin, Monet, Warhol, Lichtenstein, Turner, Matisse, and Richter. Every piece in the show incorporates an image of an atomic mushroom cloud, a motif Guelman uses to respond to Vladimir Putin's nuclear threats during the Ukraine war.

Liza Lou | FAQ

Liza Lou's latest body of work, presented in the exhibition "FAQ," combines glass beads and oil paint on canvas to create abstract paintings that interrogate mid-century abstraction and the heroics of the painted gesture. Lou translates fluid pigment into cell-like particles of color, juxtaposing spontaneity with painstaking precision, and explores fundamental questions about painting, such as when a painting is not a painting and what constitutes a paint body. The exhibition includes works like "Stanza" (2025) and "Alliteration" (2025), and features a video directed by Mick Haggerty.
