G.V. Rodriguez & Bennet Schlesinger "Every Single Time"
New York 25 Apr - 31 May 2025 I was first introduced to the work of G.V. Rodriguez by my close friend—and, at the time, roommate—Bennet Schlesinger. I had just started my gallery when Bennet shared a few blurry cell phone photos of textured figures in repose, set against hued backgrounds that resembled quilts or even a Klee... Read more -

Emma McMillan "Madam Butterfly"
New York 7 Mar - 19 Apr 2025 The transformation of a caterpillar into a butterfly is a process we call metamorphosis. At a certain point, the caterpillar encloses itself in a chrysalis, an intermediary stage that holds both what it was and what it will become. Webster’s Dictionary describes metamorphosis as “a change of physical form, structure,... Read more -
Christine Burgon "Spandau Césarienne"
Los Angeles 21 Feb - 5 Apr 2025 Complaining over the phone about my general uneasiness, Christine pointed out how important it is to just be bored in one's own home. It was one of those offhand comments that shocks with its simultaneous simplicity and gravity, a sentiment that’s equally calming and exciting. A hallmark of Christine’s work,... Read more -

Leon Eisermann "Bothered by the past, burdened by the future."
Los Angeles 4 Jan - 8 Feb 2025 Everyone has some idea of how to draw a skeleton—often a simplified, cartoonish figure that lacks anatomical accuracy but captures an essence familiar to all. This almost comical portrayal is a far cry from the complex, interwoven structures that underpin our physical forms. Yet, even a child who has never... Read more -
William Leavitt "Gothic Electronica"
27 Oct - 1 Dec 2024 Sebastian Gladstone Gallery is pleased to present Gothic Electronica .

Juliana Halpert "Bountiful Years"
New York 5 - 31 Oct 2024 There are also men in the world. —Lydia Davis What to say and how to say it are questions that have hounded these photographs for years. More than a few people have insisted that words would be necessary. Understanding needs some ushering-in. There’s the problem of legibility. The significance will... Read more -
Nick Hoecker " Last Cool Hive"
Los Angeles 21 Sep - 19 Oct 2024 To give some context, Nick Hoecker and I met through a loosely organized calisthenics class that takes place in a public park. Our group only fits in among the skateboarders and weekend basketball players as another set of misfits, a self-selecting cross-section of people who haven’t taken exercise seriously due...

Darya Diamond "Sugartown"
Los Angeles 21 Sep - 19 Oct 2024 “The true artist helps the world by revealing mystic truths.”1 - Bruce Nauman What do the priest, the prostitute and the artist have in common? If the first trades in faith and the second deals in fantasy, you could say the third is concerned with form. But in Sugartown ,... Read more -
Tristan Unrau "Re-Enactment"
New York 4 Sep - 2 Oct 2024 I am often asked, “Why are you wandering about so much? or “What are you actually trying to say here?” Or I am told, “Don’t worry; you have plenty of time to find your style.” The why is always sneering at the what. I privately think, “A painting with no... Read more -

Nick Angelo "La Pensée Unique"
4 May - 1 Jun 2024 “Toy garden cities,” Joan Didion once called them, back in 1975. “All those Plazas and Malls and Esplanades…all those Villages, all those Forests and Parks and Lands.” The shopping centers that had been cropping up everywhere in postwar America, she remarked, “float on the landscape like pyramids to the boom... Read more -
Tenki Hiramatsu "Breather"
4 May - 1 Jun 2024 1. The paintings of Tenki Hiramatsu are not concerned with narrative, lived experience or allegorical positions. Rather, the figures in his paintings exist as extension of his subconscious impulse—pieces of a puzzle gently or harshly placed together. 2. Perhaps the emotional tenor of these paintings points to their core sentimentality.... Read more -
timo fahler "SHRUG ATLAS"
The Philbrook Museum of Art 19 Apr - 31 Dec 2024 timo fahler, (b.1978, Tulsa) brings his exploration of history and contemporary society to his first institutional exhibition in Oklahoma.

The American Baroque
30 Mar - 27 Apr 2024 Works by: Dustin Hodges, G.V. Rodriguez, Kira Scerbin, Louis Eisner, Michelle Uckotter, and Tristan Unrau. The baroque is an art that—perhaps more than any other—depicts the philosophical dictum that wherever there is light, close behind follows the shadows. It is splendor under the clouds of decadence. It is an autumnal... Read more -

24 Feb - 23 Mar 2024 In 1946, the dog called Masterpiece was born.

Fans far and wide adored him, most notably Rita Hayworth’s husband, who made a... Read more -
Mimi Park "Treasure Hunt"
20 Jan - 17 Feb 2024 Is simultaneity not simply a question of scale? Things often happen at the same time, but are magnitudes apart. To be simultaneous places more emphasis on an imagined shared present moment—yet things occur in varying scales of time, things occur despite or because of other occurrences, things are always occurring...

Emma McMillan "Invasives"
20 Jan - 17 Feb 2024 Enter the spotted lanternfly... The invasive species was first discovered on Staten Island in the dog days of summer 2020.

Magnus Maxine "Riding the Blinds"
21 Oct - 25 Nov 2023 I make my way to the work through a backyard — a navigation of gates, wood tables, a firepit — and take an unexpected turn into a canvas-cloaked shelter that houses surfaces which lie upright at an angle on homemade easels made of plywood and two-by-fours. It is the substrata,... Read more -

Timo Fahler "DUSTOPIA"
16 Sep - 14 Oct 2023 It is said, in the realm of science, that glass is a state of matter rather than a material––neither solid nor liquid, but in between. Frozen in its moment of transition, forever hinting at change. It is called an amorphous solid––amorphous from the Ancient Greek literally meaning “no form.” In... Read more -
G.V. Rodriguez
16 Sep - 14 Oct 2023 The commonplace subjects and restful mood in G.V. Rodriguez’s works are conduits for profane illuminations—lucid dreams imprinted, sewn, and painted into dense canvas and linen assemblages. Being a self-taught artist utilizing an unusual combination of processes, Rodriguez has created for himself an idiosyncratic figurative lexicon. His work is starkly reminiscent... Read more -
