dana james ink moon hollis taggart 2680938

New York-based artist Dana James presents her third solo show with Hollis Taggart, titled “Ink Moon,” at the gallery’s Lower East Side location. The exhibition marks a significant shift in her practice, moving from her signature soft pastels and feminine sensibility toward bolder, more gestural works featuring near-black hues, intense primary colors, and expressive mark-making. James created the new body of work while navigating an advancing pregnancy, which she says pushed her work in a more intense direction rather than the expected softer style.

At the Aspen Art Museum, Glenn Ligon inspects the record

Glenn Ligon's exhibition "Break It Down" opened at the Aspen Art Museum on November 21, showcasing 47 works spanning three decades. The show examines how the artist constructs a portrait of self by drawing on external institutional documents, including school reports, museum conservators' notes, and James Baldwin's essay "Stranger in The Village." Key works include 50 screenprinted self-portraits with printing glitches that question stable identity, and a final gallery centered on a painting built from Baldwin's text, surrounded by dark carbon and graphite rubbings that reinterpret the essay through physical mark-making.

Sebastiaan Bremer: Super Modern Things

Edwynn Houk Gallery presents "Super Modern Things," an exhibition of new works by Sebastiaan Bremer. The artworks blend photography and painting, starting from historical source images such as 17th-century Dutch botanical catalogues and Golden Age still life paintings. Bremer photographs these reproductions and adds ink and acrylic marks—dots, lines, stains, and washes—creating rhythms that evoke language, music, emotion, and constellations. The exhibition continues his long-standing exploration of flowers and the layered histories of still life, addressing themes of beauty, mortality, value, ecology, and global exchange. An accompanying monograph of his flower series is scheduled for Fall 2026.

Lorenzo Amos, a 23-year-old painter based in New York, held his debut solo exhibition at Gratin gallery last fall. The show featured paintings that blend Abstract Expressionist mark-making with the composed clarity of David Hockney portraits, all rooted in the intimate space of his living room-studio. Amos describes his approach as "Material Realism," where image and paint become inseparable, and his work as "painting about painting." He cites his friend Alex as a key influence, emphasizing the freedom found in imperfection.

California-based artist Trishla Jain presents her first solo exhibition at Sundaram Tagore Gallery in New York, featuring abstract canvases from her 'Yantra' and 'Tantra' series. The works are deeply rooted in the artist’s lifelong meditation practice and spiritual study, utilizing intricate patterns of dots, dashes, and grids to represent the intangible process of breath awareness. While the 'Yantra' series focuses on mathematical precision and geometric focus, the 'Tantra' series explores fluid, organic arrangements that evoke celestial or topographical forms.

The art of unlearning

Quddus Mirza’s latest exhibition, "New Works" at Canvas Gallery in Karachi, marks a significant stylistic shift as the veteran artist, critic, and educator embraces the concept of "unlearning." Drawing inspiration from the raw honesty of children's drawings, Mirza presents twelve striking paintings that shed academic discipline in favor of blunt expression and intuitive mark-making. The works frequently utilize a dominant red palette to signal urgency, revolution, and bloodshed, juxtaposing domestic imagery with symbols of global unrest.

David Krut Projects showcases artist’s latest exhibition | Rosebank Killarney Gazette

Artist Pebofatso Mokoena opened his latest exhibition, "Diamond Dust Apostrophes," at The Blue House in Parkwood on July 19, hosted by David Krut Projects. The show draws on his recent residency in Oranjemund, Namibia, where the landscape, history, and soundscapes influenced his creative direction. During the residency, Mokoena began creating ink drawings on A4 paper while waiting for oil paints, a limitation that shaped the exhibition's meditative tone. He also collaborated with fellow resident Ericke Tjiueza, using music—particularly the album "Floating Points" by Pharoah Sanders and the London Symphony Orchestra—as a tool to understand the town. The exhibition marks a shift from his 2020 solo show "Internal Probes," which focused on Johannesburg's urban chaos, toward stillness and reflection.
