Thom Yorke, the Radiohead frontman, reflects on his journey back to visual art in an exclusive interview with The Art Newspaper.

Lord of the Flies: How This Artist Enlists an Army of Tiny Collaborators

Los Angeles artist John Knuth uses flies as collaborators to create paintings, with over one million insects contributing to his current exhibition 'The Hot Garden' at Hollis Taggart Downtown in New York. Inspired by flyspecks he noticed on a windowsill in 2005, Knuth orders fly larvae by the thousands, letting them hatch on canvases where their regurgitation deposits pigment. The show features works priced between $700 and $20,000, and a custom enclosure at the gallery allowed visitors to see the flies working live during the opening. Knuth's fly paintings gained viral attention in 2013 after a video by the Los Angeles Museum of Contemporary Art received over 100,000 views, helping launch his career.

Pablo Picasso: Private Creative Realms Revealed in Dublin Exhibition

The National Gallery of Ireland presents 'Picasso: From the Studio', an exhibition opening 11 October 2025 that explores Pablo Picasso's private creative spaces across his career. Featuring sixty works, including paintings, sculptures, and ceramics, the show reconstructs the artist's studios from Montmartre's Le Bateau-Lavoir to the Mougins farmhouse, using archival photographs as ghostly backdrops. Key pieces like 'Violin and Bottle on a Table' (1915) and 'Tête de femme' (1931-32) reveal how specific environments—a cramped Parisian garret, a sun-drenched villa in Avignon, a Normandy stable—shaped his stylistic reinventions from Analytic Cubism to postwar ceramics.

Artist Amy Sherald has canceled her upcoming show at the Smithsonian

Artist Amy Sherald has canceled her upcoming solo exhibition at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery, scheduled to open September 19. The cancellation stems from a dispute over her painting *Trans Forming Liberty* (2024), which depicts a trans woman with pink hair and a blue gown holding a torch. Sherald stated that the museum expressed concerns about including the portrait, leading to discussions about removing it. She claims the Smithsonian planned to replace the painting with a video of people reacting to it, which she opposed as it would debate the value of trans visibility. The Smithsonian denies the painting was to be replaced, saying the video was meant to provide context. Sherald's exhibition, *Amy Sherald: American Sublime*, was organized by SFMOMA and is currently on view at the Whitney Museum.
