Erin Milez “Chimera” @ Monya Rowe Gallery, NYC

Erin Milez
For her second solo exhibition at Monya Rowe Gallery, Erin Milez continues to examine the impact of motherhood and the complex changes – psychologically and physically – that accompany it. Milez says: “I see my feeling of metamorphosis reflected in various places: in Lucy Jones’ explanation of matrescence and becoming chimeras, “never being singular again”, even on a genetic level; in Tetsuya Ishida’s work, though his embodies a more hopeless and dehumanized transformation in laboring tasks; in Nightbitch where Amy Adams is transformed into a dog because of the primal and physical demands of creation and mothering.”

New Strangeness Bloom: Heather Benjamin @ Olympia, NYC

New Strangeness Bloom: Heather Benjamin @ Olympia, NYC
Olympia is pleased to present New Strangeness Bloom, Heather Benjamin’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Benjamin’s paintings investigate the hyper-vulnerable experiences of existing in a female body. Building on her formal printmaking background and a prolific, two-decade-long zinemaking practice, her autodidactic paintings emerge as self-portraits.

The Artist’s Process is the Subject in Lisa Yuskavage’s Masterful New Exhibition

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…

Camilla Engström: Wondrous Place @ Make Room Los Angeles

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.

Taylor Simmons “HangTime” @ Public Gallery, London

Taylor Simmons
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.
