“What I paint is something that no longer exists,” Francisco Rodríguez says. “Like how the stars we’re looking at are already dead—their light reaches us after they’ve turned to dust.” He describes his practice simply: “I’m painting dust—memories of places that no longer exist.”

Public Gallery is pleased to present Sill, a solo exhibition of new painting and sculpture by Berlin-based artist Cathrin Hoffmann, whose subjects embody the physical intensity and psychological fatigue engendered by an age of information overload. No longer performing exaggerated gestures of desire or grotesque theatricality, Hoffmann’s figures inhabit states of sustained tension and accumulating pressure, sedimented in the threshold between endurance and action.

Harper’s is pleased to announce Prussian Blue, New York–based artist Sophia Huitema’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. The presentation features new works by Huitema and will be on view through April 25, 2026. 

Perrotin is pleased to present Borrowed Chord, Danielle Orchard’s second exhibition in Paris and her seventh with the gallery. The exhibition brings together new works that deepen her engagement with figuration, intimacy, and the history of painting. Borrowing its title from a musical term describing a harmony drawn from a parallel key, the exhibition reflects Orchard’s longstanding practice of working within established pictorial traditions—modernist fragmentation, classical composition, and the reclining figure—while subtly shifting their emotional register. The show is on view through April 18, 2026.

Welcome to the latest edition of Nuart Aberdeen. As far as we can ascertain, this will be the first street art festival in the world with a focus primarily on poetry and text-based works. Over the years, for better or worse, the large scale colourful figurative mural has come to dominate the culture we work with, and although it’s an aspect of the culture we support, due to the resources required to produce murals, they’re perhaps also the least democratic form of art on the streets. As curators, researchers and producers working in “festival” culture, we have a responsibility to not only showcase and celebrate the most interesting and technically competent works of our time, but to also ensure the…

Casey Bolding’s paintings make memory material. Using plaster and industrial paint in concert with oil, acrylic, and Flashe, the artist builds up densely layered surfaces which he then scrapes and reworks, excavating embedded imagery drawn from mementos, photographs, and art history. As personal as they are process-based, Bolding’s paintings of landscapes and interiors are particularly informed by his childhood in the plains of Colorado, his longtime practice of graffiti writing in abandoned buildings and trains, and commercial faux-finishing techniques learned from his uncle. For Bloodstream, Bolding has created a suite of works that he describes as “mirages or scenes captured from the perspective of someone floating down the Colorado River,” from the Rocky Mountains to the Mexico-California border. This traveler…

HESSE FLATOW is pleased to announce the opening of Franklin, an exhibition of paintings and works on paper by Nat Meade, marking his third solo presentation with the gallery. The show is on view through April 18, 2026. 

Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way explores contemporary Latinx artists’ innovations and interventions within established traditions of painting, inviting discussion on a variety of themes and revealing the diversity and expansiveness present within the field. The fifty-eight artists in the exhibition—and those in the Latinx field more broadly—encourage us to interrogate the continued relevance of boundaries, from political borders to disciplinary confines. This exhibition therefore celebrates artists whose expressions are first and foremost personal and subjective, but whose heterogeneous and culturally specific interventions enrich one another and the history of American and contemporary art, two fields from which such artists have been historically excluded. Inspired by former U.S. Poet Laureate Juan Felipe Herrera’s poem “[Let Us Gather in a Flourishing Way],” the…

PPOW are pleased to present Orchid Rain on the Underground, Chris “Daze” Ellis’s third solo exhibition with the gallery. The show is on view through April 25, 2026. Featuring a new series of paintings, multimedia installation, and a site-specific mural, the exhibition harnesses the passion and spontaneity of the graffiti movement of the 1970s and 80s while demonstrating a thoughtful and meticulous practice honed over the past five decades. While the version of New York City that fostered Daze’s beginnings as a fine artist may feel like a bygone era, the works in this exhibition are evidence of its enduring legacy. By revitalizing that foundational energy for the present moment, Daze affirms the continued relevance of those figures and places, and their profound…

GRIMM is pleased to present Vignettes & Mutations, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Los Angeles–based artist Eric White on view through May 2, 2026. This is the artist’s fifth solo exhibition with GRIMM and his third solo exhibition at the New York gallery.

NANZUKA is pleased to present “Good Looking,” a solo exhibition of new works by Raymond Lemstra at NANZUKA UNDERGROUND. This exhibition marks the artist’s second solo show at NANZUKA following his first exhibition in Japan held at 3110NZ by LDH Kitchen (now Sushi Saito Hanare NANZUKA) in 2024. The show will be on through April 4, 2026. 

South African artist Cinga Samson’s exhibition of new paintings is titled ‘Ukuphuthelwa’, an isiXhosa word in the artist’s native language that translates as ‘unable to sleep’. Unlike the English word ‘insomnia’, the isiXhosa term carries no negative connotation and accordingly, for Samson, sleeplessness is not a condition to be cured but a state of spiritual alertness, a sensitivity that deepens in the dark. Rendered in the artist’s signature occluded palette of near-blacks, carbon and deep Prussian blues, Samson’s scenes depict men-like figures, dogs in overgrown fields and portraits of plant life native to South Africa. Encouraging slow, contemplative looking, a sense of existential gravity pervades Samson’s new series of oil paintings, attempting to depict a vast reality that is continuously…
