An exhibition of new work by Tyler Mitchell is set to open at Gagosian New York next month. For Ghost Images, Mitchell returns to his Southern upbringing, weaving together scenes of seaside leisure with arresting reflections on the psychological and historical weight of the landscapes they inhabit.Shot along the coastal islands of Georgia, the images unfold across beaches, dunes and estuaries that, on its face, are alive with natural beauty and whispers of serenity, yet a closer eye reveals the scars of human history. In works like "Gulfs Between," "Voyage" and "Voyage II," toy boats, reminiscent of childlike innocence, allude to the Jekyll Island-bound ships used to transport enslaved people, while the charred ruins of the Carnegie family mansion take centerstage in "Dollhouse." Through t...

Daniel Arsham has just dropped a new artifact of “fictional archaeology” with his latest sculptural edition SPLIT BUST. Limited to a run of 99, the dual-material sculpture is based on a large-scale work Arsham debuted at last year’s Venice Biennale.Drawing on his Fractured Idol series, the piece features a half-anime, half-Roman-faced composition, each side adorned with a pondering gaze. Crafted from stainless steel and cast bronze, the sculpture’s Tiffany Green patina enhances its timeworn feel, while its mirror-polished offers a more robotic aesthetic. SPLIT BUST continues Arsham’s exploration of how icons and symbols can transcend time and cultures, creating a space where the past and future seamlessly become one.Each edition is 30 centimeters in height, weighing in at 8 kilograms. Pric...

As San Francisco buzzes with the energy of FOG Design+Art, Altman Siegel presents Beyond the Bodies' Edge, a new solo exhibition of mixed-media works by Didier William. Born in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and now based in Philadelphia, William expands on his Gesture to Home installation at Prospect New Orleans, exploring the precarious sense of belonging that undergirds the immigrant experience. Across a series of vibrant and verdant scenes, the artist asks: “What systems, codes, or traditions define cultural identity on foreign land?”Autobiographical lore collides with ancestral narratives in this space, as each piece confronts an uncertain future with vulnerability and strength in equal parts. In “Tandem,” a fragile swing struggles to bear the weight of two writhing creatures, evoking themes ...

Swiss contemporary artist Angela Santana is making a return to Saatchi Yates in London with a new solo exhibition. In a showcase of large-scale oil paintings, Santana redefines historical representations of the female form, recasting the body into a site of becoming.Exploring themes of identity and transformation, the show examines how the body is represented in the digital age. In an era shaped by an ecosystem of images, Santana envisions a call to change: to reconfigure the classical form into ethereal abstractions, looking to the chaos of the internet as a guiding light rather than a hindrance.“I learned to paint the image of the female form from an early age, not in the image I imagined to be my own, but in the image of others before me,” Santana told Hypebae in an interview following ...

Mexico City’s JO-HS Gallery is preparing to a launch an intimate exhibition featuring the visceral works of Jo Dennis. Entitled ‘A Glass of Absinthe,’ the presentation helms a materialistic approach, pulling together a layered collection of abstract and gestural pieces that focus on “something already absent or lost.” From rough scrawls using marble dust and spray paint on military tents to sharply-shaped fabrics delicately hanging on clothing rails with industrial flair, the artist’s touches are poignant and channel a kaleidoscope of human experiences. “In this way, embodying a temporal and experimental dimension, Dennis’s works become a kind of diary that reflects the complex interplay between physical actions and psychological reactions that shape our existential experience,” said the g...
