The Artist’s Process is the Subject in Lisa Yuskavage’s Masterful New Exhibition
In a city that makes stars, across a landscape that seconds as a backlot for so many film studios, Lisa Yuskavage focuses her newest exhibition on the magic behind the finished product. This is an interesting if not endlessly fascinating body of work from an already influential and famed painter. Yuskavage seemed to take the occasion of her first show in LA in 3 decades to heart, it’s about sets and process, about the making of a universe just as much as the universe she is creating herself. It is a show about production, about a woman’s place in the history of production. It is about the artist and the aritst process while looking at something quite final, and David Zwirner’s spacious…
Dada Khanyisa: this is for you
In their first exhibition at Sadie Coles HQ, Radio Juxtapoz and featured artist alum Dada Khanyisa presents a group of ‘sculptural paintings’ that look to their immediate community in Cape Town, popular culture, and Khanyisa’s extensive research into the social and political histories of South Africa, producing lively figurative assemblages that convey the vibrancy and diversity of contemporary life. Throughout their labour-intensive practice – incorporating hand carved wood, meticulously compiled sculptural elements and found objects, and painted backdrops borrowed from candid or historic photographic sources – Khanyisa expresses interpersonal dynamics through the lens of their social observations and lived experience.
Mickalene Thomas Creates Design for DART Car’s Custom McLaren Racecar
We love a good custom car design here at Juxtapoz, and this one caught our eye this past week. DART Car, the Driven Artists Racing Team, debuted their team and unveiled the look of their race car designed by Summer 2024 cover artist, Mickalene Thomas, the inaugural commission being a custom wrap for the McLaren Artura GT4 racecar as well bespoke driving suits and hand-painted helmets. DART Car’s first race of the 2024 season is the SRO GT4 America at Sonoma Raceway from March 28-30, 2025.
Camilla Engström: Wondrous Place @ Make Room Los Angeles
Camilla Engström’s paintings feel like a return—a quiet surrender to the rhythms of nature. Her dreamlike landscapes do not merely depict the land; they embody its movement, its warmth, its breathing stillness. Like Mary Oliver’s poetry, Engström’s work suggests a deep attunement to nature, where color, light, and form merge into something both intimate and expansive.
Cannon Fodder with Canyon Castator
With so much action going on in LA this week and weekiend, there is a solo exhibition of new paintings by Canyon Castator called Cannon Fodder, openings as an off-site installation presented during Frieze Week Los Angeles, in collaboration with Diane Rosenstein Gallery.
Karen Seapker is “Stirring”
Plato is excited to present Karen Seapker’s first solo exhibition with the gallery, Stirring. Based on Seapker’s observation of the garden outside her studio and her reflections on the current historical moment, Stirring is dedicated to winter as a time to heal, reset and plan.
Taylor Simmons “HangTime” @ Public Gallery, London
Public Gallery is pleased to present HangTime, a solo exhibition of new works by Taylor Simmons, and the artist’s second presentation with the gallery. Across two floors of the gallery’s new expanded space, Simmons’ tightly framed and heavily layered compositions shift from referencing sourced imagery, often found photographs and viral video clips, to a series of familial portraits, conveying the artist’s personal specificity and domestic space. His depictions of everyday life, distinct for their vibrant tones and balance of acrylic, oil and spray paint, demonstrate a newfound immediacy and casual intimacy that welcome the viewer into his perspective — the most direct, detailed and explicit series of works that speak without prevarication from the artist’s home.
