Avish Khebrehzadeh, The Vacant Hour (2018). Courtesy of M77 Gallery. 

This introverted, exhausted looking girl sits in an ambiguous and mysterious space. Is it a mystical garden or a frontally lit stage? Is this a real moment or is she trapped in a dream? After all, the stool she sits upon is only hinted as a fragment. Iranian-born artist Avish Khebrehzadeh offers us an uncertain scene and invites us to fill this void.

This piece by Joseph Kosuth allows us to reflect on our perception of time. By reading the sentence as well as the clock, the viewer is immediately connected to the artwork and also in one, sole moment: the here and now.

These thickly impastoed portraits by Henrik Uldalen explore various states of human emotion, while simultaneously reflecting on the current political climate. In a departure from the artist’s previous, darker bodies of work, we see a lot of pink, which represents the rosy veil in which we choose to cope with the uncomfortable parts of our lives.

Coco Dávez, Yayoi (2019). Courtesy of Maddox Gallery.

Wearing her trademark red wig and polka dots, Yayoi Kusama is undoubtedly an art superstar, but also remains an enigmatic and multi-layered character. Coco Dávez captures both those realties perfectly in this fresh, modern take on the portrait from her ‘Faceless’ series.

Eleanor Aldrich, The Bicycle (2018). Courtesy of Channel to Channel.

Aldrich has an exciting sense for materials that she uses well in fleshy images that verge on trompe l’oeil. The varying paints and application methods match the industrial objects depicted while leaving room for more legible flat abstractions. There is a certain dewy sheen she creates here that perfectly encapsulates the spirit of summer leisure, which, in the dead of winter, makes Bicycle a nostalgic portrait of a much longed for two-wheeled ride.

This expressive painting reminds me of being in South Beach earlier this month during Art Basel. I can imagine myself back there under a palm tree, feeling a nice ocean breeze and, ideally, with a cocktail in hand. The haziness of the brushstrokes reminds me of the foggy-headed dreaminess of just waking up from a seaside nap.

I love the shape and shine of the resin in this sculpture, like a large drop of perfectly splattered nail polish. Donald Moffett really has a knack for capturing organic forms in this medium and this work truly embodies the term “eye-candy”.

Ellsworth Kelly, Pear II (1965–1966). Courtesy of Susan Sheehan Gallery

In a brief departure from his iconic geometric abstractions, Ellsworth Kelly employs his uncompromising style to the fruit depicted in this work. He captures the essence of the subject using simple lines that are assured in their ability to represent the fruit, yet waver delicately in execution. He is cautious in his process, but confident in the result.

This photograph by Yann Gross and Arguiñe Escandón was taken in Peru and can currently be admired at the Galerie Wilde in Geneva. Appearing at once sad and proud, the indigenous woman presents a bird’s wing intact and utterly beautiful. This photograph comes from the series ‘Tamamuri,’ which started in 2018.

This screenprint by Rauschenberg combines a front porch with chairs and a lake-like reflection of the trees and sky, but the combination is dreamy and disorienting, It gives the impression of memory, bits and pieces of a summer flooding the mind.

Massey’s artworks delve deep into the consumer culture from the 80s and 90s, the artist’s childhood years. Here, dwarves from the Disney version of Snow White are mixed with brightly colored, circular patterns and a pink, almost flesh-like area on the upper-left, to oddly arresting effect.

This oil and encaustic work by British artist Melanie Smith is a dreamy rendition of the internet’s favorite animal: the cat. The tan and seafoam green tones add to the haziness of the medium and give the work the oddly classical appearance of a Renaissance-era fresco.
