carmen de monteflores whitney biennial 2750535

At 92 years old, Puerto Rican artist Carmen De Monteflores has emerged as a breakout star of the 2026 Whitney Biennial. Her inclusion in the prestigious exhibition was facilitated by her daughter, renowned performance artist Andrea Fraser, who urged curators to view her mother's vibrant, shaped canvases that had been sitting in storage for decades. De Monteflores, who studied at the Art Students League and the École de Beaux-Arts, abandoned her painting career in 1969 due to the lack of opportunities for women, eventually becoming a psychologist and novelist.

Mario Ayala Unveils Life Sized Van Portraits at CAM Houston

Mario Ayala's first U.S. solo museum exhibition, 'Seven Vans,' has opened at the Contemporary Arts Museum Houston (CAMH). The show, on view from November 14, 2025, through June 21, 2026, features seven life-size van paintings that use the vehicle's rear body as a shaped canvas. Ayala removes wheels and functional markers, turning the vans into motionless 'pseudo-portraits' that convey owners' personalities through details like faded stickers, patchy repairs, and custom airbrush work inspired by auto body painting. The artist describes his process as 'Research While Driving,' documenting rear vehicle perspectives over six years.
