Figurative Painter Solo Exhibitions

The Lisa Yuskavage exhibition has opened at David Zwirner's 533 West 19th Street location in New York, running from May 14 through June 26, 2026. The show features new and recent paintings, works on paper, and a body of collages made on green Color-aid paper, incorporating pastel, egg tempera, gouache, and pasted elements. Many paintings expand on the theme of the artist's studio, with recurring figures appearing across compositions. This marks Yuskavage's tenth solo exhibition with David Zwirner, twenty years after her first show with the gallery in 2006. The exhibition follows her first comprehensive museum presentation of works on paper, 'Lisa Yuskavage: Drawings,' at The Morgan Library and Museum in New York from June 2025 through January 2026.

New York's Art on Paper fair draws a fuzzy line between its titular medium and everything else

The Art on Paper fair has returned to Pier 36 in Lower Manhattan for its 11th edition, featuring 81 exhibitors from around the world. The fair, organized by Art Market Productions (a division of a21), includes a VIP preview on September 4 and a full program of interactive events and workshops, including the return of Booksmart Fair in partnership with the Center for Book Arts. Standouts include Nina Katchadourian's plant-like sculptures at Pace Gallery, Mary Beth Edelson's Story Gathering Boxes at Accola Griefen Fine Art, and Nicolas V. Sanchez's hyperrealistic ballpoint pen sketchbook drawings. Some exhibitors push the boundaries of the paper medium by showing paintings, ceramics, and other non-paper items, prompting one visitor to ask, "Where's the paper stuff?"

art exhibition carlos vega anima mundi jack shainman

Carlos Vega's exhibition "Anima Mundi" is on view at Jack Shainman Gallery in New York through April 18. The show features Vega's large-scale paintings on lead substrate, which depict a psychedelic, Edenic universe filled with nymphs, extraterrestrial flora, galaxies, and portals. Vega, who is also the husband of gallerist Jack Shainman, draws on ancient Greek philosophy and his own biography—including his upbringing in Melilla, Morocco, and his grandfather's assassination during the Spanish Civil War—to explore themes of consciousness, death, and the interconnectedness of all things. The works incorporate Renaissance antique frames, nodding to his classical training at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Spain.

"Transformations" Art Exhibit at Wilton's browngrotta arts Explores Inventive Uses of Materials in Art

Wilton gallery browngrotta arts will present "Transformations: Dialogues in Art and Material" from May 9-17, 2026, a Spring exhibition exploring how artists transform materials such as clay, silk, steel, bark, seaweed, bamboo, and horsehair. The show features nearly three dozen international artists, including Kiyomi Iwata, John McQueen, Marian Bijlenga, Toshiko Takaezu, and Kay Sekimachi, whose works demonstrate what curator Glenn Adamson calls "material intelligence"—a deep understanding of material properties and possibilities. Co-curator Tom Grotta notes that artists often start with the same material yet arrive at remarkably distinct outcomes, revealing how artistic vision reshapes substance itself.
