Lisa Edelstein, Narsiso Martinez, Shizu Saldamando, and John Ahearn and Rigoberto TorresCharlie James Gallery, Los Angeles
Charlie James Gallery brings together four practices that examine how personal histories, labor, community, and representation shape the ways lives are recorded and remembered. Across painting, sculpture, portraiture, and life casting, the presentation centers on individuals and communities whose experiences are often overlooked within dominant historical narratives.

Wenhui Hao, Colleen Barry, and Gary Kuhn Half Gallery, New York / Los Angeles
The group presentation by Half Gallery explores the shifting boundaries between figuration, abstraction, and objecthood. Moving across painting and sculpture, the booth considers how image, material, and form can carry both narrative and ambiguity. Together, the three practices create a considered exchange between storytelling and formal experimentation. |

Tim Braden, Kyle Staver, Otis Jones, and Norm Clasen NINO MIER GALLERY, Brussels / New York
The group exhibition by NINO MIER GALLERY is centered on the enduring pull of the Romantic sublime, tracing how landscape, natural phenomena, and cultural myth continue to shape our understanding of the environment. The presentation shifts between direct observation and imaginative reconstruction, featuring mountain ranges, desert vistas, organic forms, and mythic narratives that become vehicles for considering nature as both physical reality and psychological space.

Vanessa Prager, Julian Stanczak, David Hicks, and Pam Posey Diane Rosenstein Gallery, Los Angeles
Color, surface, and material shift continually across Diane Rosenstein Gallery’s presentation, moving from optical abstraction and sculptural painting to ceramics and landscape. Familiar forms are reworked through optical effects, layered textures, and tactile processes, allowing the observed world to shift between representation and abstraction.

Emma Beatrez, Julia García, and Christina Ballantyne HAIR + NAILS, Minneapolis / New York
Between painting and sculpture, HAIR + NAILS’ presentation is shaped by contrasts in process, gesture, and material. Moving between meticulously built surfaces and more fluid approaches to image-making, the booth explores how light and the human figure can emerge through markedly different painterly languages. Small-scale sculptures extend into the surrounding space, introducing a tactile counterpoint to the works on the wall.

Antonio Kuschnir, Jorrit Tornquist, and Bertozzi and Casoni ABC ARTE, Genova / Milan
In the group presentation from ABC ARTE, the artists offer distinct yet complementary approaches to painting and sculpture: grounded in myth, narrative, and symbolic imagery, as well as in the scientific and phenomenological study of color. Their dialogue highlights how both figuration and abstraction can operate as tools to question how we see, perceive, and construct visual reality.

Patrick Alston, Sarah Blaustein, and James Benjamin Franklin Library Street Collective, Detroit
Library Street Collective presents a focused exploration of color as both an emotional force and a sensory experience, bringing together works that move across gesture, atmosphere, and materiality. Across the booth, painting expands beyond image-making into something tactile and spatial, holding traces of the body, the natural world, and domestic experience.

Skylar Hughes, Merrick Adams, and Jude Pauli La Loma, Los Angeles
The works by the three artists will span painting and sculpture, shaped by the tension between softness and structure, atmosphere and construction, for La Loma’s presentation. Landscape dissolves into abstraction while ceramic forms take on a more graphic, architectural presence, inviting viewers to move between the organic and the constructed.
