German photographer Dirk Seiden Schwan maintains a practice beyond the confines of genre or style, ranging from portraits and street scenes to images that blur the boundary between documentary and abstract. In his solo show with House of Friends, an online exhibition on view through October 31, 2024, a selection of images from more than two decades of Schwan’s career illustrate his dynamic and evolving use of narrative and technical skill.

In the practice of artist Inga Hehn, paper is the entryway into her own, inimitable creative world. Using a wide variety of techniques and approaches—from marbling and drawing to inking and lithography—Hehn’s work confronts preconceived notions around perceived reality. In her self-titled solo with Forum Presents, on view in Linz, Austria, through September 27, 2024, viewers can gain insights into Hehn’s graphic experiments that seek to harness the power of resistance and time in the creation of each work.

Presented by Fundación La Nave Salinas in Ibiza, “Mai Blanco: Jardín Adentro (A Garden Within” showcases the artist’s unique ability to meld features of the contemporary and the art historical. Tapping techniques and motifs drawn from Impressionism and early Modernism, Blanco crafts a sparkling and vivacious artistic world replete with figures that are at once individual and symbolic of a collective. Each painted scene is reminiscent of Classical stories and myths but is ambiguous enough that they simultaneously evoke contemporary realities.

“Select Works by Harif Guzman” at Deborah Colton Gallery, Houston

Included in the 5 exhibitions to see from the Artnet Gallery Network, a semi-abstract work showing a stick drawing of an oil well from which spouts gold leaf oil splashes.

Taking inspiration from Venezuelan artist Harif Guzman’s first exhibition in Texas “Dying to Live,” which premiered ten years ago also with Deborah Colton Gallery, Houston, “Select Works by Harif Guzman” showcases his singular style and subject matter. On view through October 26, 2024, themes of power, death, and money, are pervasive throughout these works, bringing ideas of cultural and personal influence to the fore. Simultaneously poignant and irreverent, the show offers refreshed perspectives on the current zeitgeist.

Heralding the artist’s debut in the United States, “thirteen paintings” at YveYang Gallery, New York, presents the work of Kim Stolz, on view through October 19, 2024. Small in scale and minimalistic in execution, the emotional and contemplative aspects of Stolz’s work is highlighted, reflecting the artist’s comprehensive understanding of, and ability to execute, light, color, movement, and negative space. Speaking to Stolz’s practice and method, each piece is titled with the time of day that it was finished.

In Hollis Taggart’s present exhibition, “the world is big and I want to have a good look at it before it gets dark,” the seminal genre of landscape is explored through the lens of three different artists. Artists Madeleine Bialke, Rachel MacFarlane, and Alexander Richard Wilson each engage with landscape in unique and unexpected ways, offering new perspectives on the genre. Each hailing from different parts of the world, the show also speaks to the current threats against the environment and natural landscapes everywhere, tapping both anxieties and hopes around potential futures.
