Barry McGee Curates Some "Chitty Figures" From the Bay Area Art Scene

Even when seeing Barry McGee's works and curated installations in other cities around the world (recently the backroom at The Hole in Los Angeles), he brings the Bay Area with him. It's unmistakably the Bay, and if you haven't lived there or haven't been there in years, you know walking into a Barry show there is a language that is of a particular place that is present aand omnipresent in the room. And now Barry has curated Chitty Figures, a group exhibition showcasing paintings, sculpture, and works on paper that showcases the Bay Area in its contemporary (and historic) place in the art world. The show is hosted at Berggruen Gallery, where Barry had a solo show last year.

Henry Darger: Utopia / Dystopia

In one of the most anticipated shows of the winter, Ricco/Maresca is showing Henry Darger: Utopia / Dystopia at their NYC space. Any presentation of Darger's work generates attention, especially from our readership over the years, so definitely wanted to get this on the radar of everyone here.

Greg Burak: Psychologistics @ MARCH, NYC

Neuroscientists have posited that the conscious mind resembles a theatre. Input and memory coalesce in emotion and ideation. Scenes play out onstage, complete with embedded symbolism and an ever-evolving rationale. Greg Burak’s paintings, too, are not unlike theatre. Compositions are carefully constructed with their inhabitants in mind, methodically planned yet filled with paradoxes. One-point perspective draws attention center-stage while peripheral views fade.

Janiva Ellis: Fear Corroded Ape @ Carpenter Center for Visual Arts, Cambridge, Massachusetts

In preparing for her exhibition at the Carpenter Center, Oakland-born, NYC-based Janiva Ellis reengaged with paintings that had remained unfinishable in her studio for years, floating in and out of her consciousness. The artist has called these “dust bunny ideas”—hard-to-resolve paintings that settle into corners of her studio to be continuously reworked, with long breaks in between. As a result, much has changed in the world during their long gestation. Fear Corroded Ape asks what it means to assemble a group of “unresolvable” images.

Nina Chanel Abney: Winging It @ Jeffrey Deitch Gallery, Los Angeles

Jeffrey Deitch is pleased to present Winging It, a captivating exhibition of new work by past Juxtapoz cover artist, Nina Chanel Abney that redefines spirituality, resilience, and modern survival. Known for her vibrant use of color and layered narratives, Abney delves into the improvisational ways in which people navigate life’s uncertainties—through religion, astrology, social media affirmations, and even the ubiquitous, yet often dismissed, aesthetic of aspirational decor. Through vibrant, large scale paintings, works on paper, sculptures, and an immersive installation that debuts Abney’s first neon work, Winging It interrogates the blurred boundaries between sacred and secular, critiquing the commodification of belief while celebrating resilience, humor, and adaptability. The exhibition examines how individuals construct meaning in a world where traditional frameworks often falter, reimagining spirituality as something flexible, unstructured, and personal—qualities that resonate with the experience of “winging it” through life, especially when the formal answers and comforts of organized faith feel distant or irrelevant.

Mark Yang: Cryptic Aperture

VSF announces Mark Yang’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery and his second in our Los Angeles Space, Cryptic Aperture. In 2024 Yang began making paintings in pairs, not opposites or twins, but siblings and companions - compositions that emerge from a similar foundation and evolve into unique expressions of the same DNA. Yang’s signature figurative abstraction is on full display here, playing with deep and detailed looking at historical paintings and compositional strategies, Yang has built a body of work that arrives at an analysis of his understanding of the viewer’s perception of his own signature style.

Eric McHenry is the One "Paying the Clowns"

I just found out that Britt Lower from Severence joined the circus between season 1 and season 2, and presumably, before they start shooting season 3. I don't know why this is significant to Eric McHenry's Paying the Clowns at One Trick Pony, but there is a surreal and sinister sort of portrayal coming from these works. But they are beautiful and quirky, a sort of kitsch meets nostalgic theatrical setting. But something about the performative aspect of the circus connects with a desire to witness an other, a differecnt dimension, a different reality and yet still be connected to the present. These works take you somewhere and give you the chance to discover a different view of performance.

Mike Kuchar is a "Show Off"

François Ghebaly New York is delighted to present Show Off, iconoclastic filmmaker and visual artist Mike Kuchar’s newest exhibition at the gallery’s Lower East Side location. Since the 1960s, Mike Kuchar has been a majorly influential figure in the underground film and comics scenes. Together with his twin brother George, the Kuchars gained cult recognition first in the Bronx and then in San Francisco for their over-the-top, no-budget films that sent up Hollywood epics, weepy romances, and sci-fi B movies. In iconic films like Sins of the Fleshapoids (1965), The Craven Sluck (1967), and Death Quest of the Ju-Ju Cults (1976), Mike developed his distinctive style that jettisoned traditional narrative structure and acting professionalism in favor of extravagant, tender sagas that would have a significant impact on emerging theorizations of camp as an artistic sensibility.

Jeremy Fish and "The Moral Compass"

This body of work features new paintings and works on paper in collaboration with Fish’s mother Nicole, a life long librarian and teacher. Each piece is an illustration illuminating one of Ms. Fish’s fables that include a simple lesson and kernel of wisdom.

Dislyxec Poet: CB Hoyo @ Plan X Gallery, Milan

With Dislyxec Poet at Plan X Milan, CB Hoyo does what he does best—breaks the rules, questions value, and makes the art world deeply uncomfortable while laughing at it. This exhibition at Plan X Milan is not just an overwhelming spectacle of 1,500 unique works on paper, but also a reckless market experiment, a farewell performance, and a final act of creative destruction.

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.

Many Rooms with "No Room for Emptiness" for Diane Dal-Pra in Milan

MASSIMODECARLO is delighted to present No Room for Emptiness, the first Italian solo exhibition by French artist Diane Dal-Pra. A title like this might hint at an overwhelming fullness, an attempt to keep emptiness at bay - but Dal-Pra subverts this expectation entirely. She courts emptiness, plays with it, stretches it until it becomes tangible. Her paintings exist in a state of beautiful instability: bodies flicker in and out of form, textiles morph into landscapes, and spaces fold in on themselves like fabric.

Erin Milez "Chimera" @ Monya Rowe Gallery, NYC

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.”
