Tishan Hsu, a 74-year-old artist based in Brooklyn, is the subject of a feature article discussing his 40-year career exploring the boundary between the virtual and the physical. His current exhibition, "Emergence," at Lisson Gallery in New York (through Jan. 24), presents new biomorphic UV prints with silicone appendages that evoke fingers penetrating a computer screen.

The guide highlights Porpentine's show "Xrafstar World" at Haul Gallery in Gowanus, which features poster-prints of drawings depicting characters from their stories and games, made with different digital brushes.

The article, written by an art critic for Cultured, opens by describing recent U.S. government actions under Executive Order 14253, including the National Park Service's restoration of a monument to Confederate General Albert Pike and a White House letter to Smithsonian Secretary Lonnie G.

Alex Katz presents a new body of work titled "White Lotus" at Gray Chicago, on view through September 20. The exhibition features large-scale portraits and cool, cinematic scenes inspired by a beach in Maine and Antonioni's *L'Avventura*, with only a superficial connection to the TV series *The White Lotus*. Katz, now in his late 90s, continues his seven-decade practice of prioritizing style over narrative, focusing on surfaces, garments, and glances. Concurrently, his work is also on view at SCAI Piramide in Tokyo, San Diego's Museum of Contemporary Art, and Gladstone Gallery will host a fall exhibition of his orange abstractions. The article includes an interview where Katz discusses his studio habits, influences (Fra Angelico, Veronese, Goya), and his resilience in the face of early career criticism.
