Working in both two and three dimensions, Lukas Thaler seeks to locate the intersections between reality and fiction, manual and digital. Recently the subject of a solo show with Galerie Elizabeth and Klaus Thoman in Innsbruck, Austria, Thaler’s works are frequently marked by text or simplified drawings, with their legibility directly influenced by choice of medium. Conveying elements of unresolved narrative, the artist’s works themselves become studies of materiality, form, and space.
Adébayo Bolaji, La Manifestation 01 (2023)

London-based multidisciplinary artist Adébayo Bolaji interrogates themes of identity, transformation, and cultural narratives through his bold paintings that toe the line between abstraction and figuration. With a background that also encompasses writing, acting, and directing, Bolaji’s paintings convey a sense of drama and narrative through the inclusion of conceptually rich symbols and stark compositional arrangements.
Henry Mandell, Superunknown 46C (2023)

Contemporary American artist Henry Mandell uses specially self-developed algorithms and other digital tools to transform the language of data and information as well as human expression and aesthetics. Across Mandell’s works, a deep interest in interconnectedness, both thematically and scientifically, is brought to the fore, resulting in generative compositions that explore everything from language to the cosmos. On view through March 1, 2025, Mandell is part of a dual-artist exhibition featuring a range of his paintings that speak to the phenomenon of Quantum Entanglement.
Eugene Tapahe, Solidarity, Sisterhood, Monument Valley, Arizona, Dine, 2020 (2020)

Navajo (Diné) artist, photographer, and designer Eugene Tapahe focuses her work not only on documenting the myriad facets of Native American culture, but to bring broader awareness to the culture’s unique history and relationship with the land. One of her most recent series is “Art Heals: The Jingle Dress Project,” featuring figures wearing traditional jingle dresses and the spiritual significance of the garment and dance. Her work bridges art and activism, highlighting issues that not only affect Indigenous populations but society at large.
Claudia Meitert, Fit for a King (2024)

German artist Claudia Meitert is best known for her expressive, abstract paintings that investigate the capacity of color, form, and spatial relationships to convey emotion and movement. Crafting multilayered compositions featuring vivid contrasts, her work maintains a distinct sense of harmony. Meitert was recently the subject of a solo show with Art Affair in Regensburg, Germany, wherein her recent body of work showcases her explorations of surface and brushwork.
