Basim Magdy “When Rain Clouds Gather 4 The Birds Choose the Cards” at Kunsthalle Bern
Magdy is a prolific practi tioner whose work manifests itself through films, paintings and photographic works. His practice is multilayered and visually charged. The works are a form of visual observations of otherwise mundane details of everyday life.

The Manicuring of “Suburban Lawns” with Julie Curtiss
Julie Curtiss does this thing with painting in which she speaks of the contemporary political climate without a hint of an obvious visual to grasp onto for context. She is sneaky in that way, and one of the best painters of the last decade to emerge in the wake of a resurgence of Chicago Imagist admiration but through her own satirical vision. Her cover story with us in Fall 2021, which I have mentioned numerous times, was where my admiration for her ability to be both political and social in one image really came to fruition.

Sean Norvet is on “Neighborhood Watch”
Sean Norvet is a tour de force, a painting wizard with the type of skill and imagination that is the basis of why this magazine was founded 31 years ago. Pop-culture chaos, the infiltration of icons into our subconscious, the mass explosion of visual and product consumption is all in the work, which is both tightly packed but loosely surreal. Neighborhood Watch, Norvet’s third showing at Richard Heller Gallery, comes at a time of misinformation, binary opposition, polarizing commentary and perhaps the penultimate scene of democracy. It’s terrifying and a fucking mess, to be frank. Norvet is painting the fire. The gallery mentions the hypnagogic state of the works, and there is both truth in this but also a sense of…
