Marina Adams

Marina Adams’s abstract paintings explore pattern as a language that exceeds boundaries. Finding similarities in diverse cultural output such as American Southwest pottery, North African weavings and mosaics, and ancient Egyptian architecture, she reconceives designs as radiant arrangements of color. Her canvases feature fields of interlocking shapes, both biomorphic and geometric, that appear to flex, expand, and contract in their assigned colors. Adams has developed a dynamic and abstract painterly practice of clear and powerful formal language that centers around exploring the possibilities of shape and movement.

Marina Adams (b. 1960, Orange, NJ) lives and works in Brooklyn and East Hampton, NY. She received her BFA at the Tyler School of Art, Temple University, Philadelphia, PA, Painting; Temple University, Rome, Italy and an MFA from Columbia University, New York, NY. Solo exhibitions include von Bartha, Basel, Switzerland (2024); and Salon 94, New York, NY (2021). Public collections include Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; and Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY. She was a recipient of the John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship (2016).

Paul Fägerskiöld

Paul Fägerskiöld's paintings explore the act of imagemaking and the intersection of form and image, using basic building blocks like fields of color and line drawings of structures. His recent works function as a cognition map of his “mind palace,” probing the question, "why paint?" His art offers a sense of exploration in a world of entirely different guidelines, with images that are manuals pointing out existence. They embody a painterly quantum state, denying resolution while offering glimpses of possibility—a merging of configuration and spherical shimmer, visualizing a universe in the making.

Paul Fägerskiöld (b. 1982, Stockholm, Sweden) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. He was educated at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and the Royal Institute of Art, Stockholm. Solo museum exhibitions include: Kunstmuseum Thun, Thun, Switzerland, (2021); Borås Art Museum, Borås, Sweden (2019). Public collections include: Malmö Konstmuseum, Malmö, Sweden; and Public Art Agency, Stockholm, Sweden.

Nicholas Galanin

Examining the complexities of contemporary Indigenous identity, culture, and representation, Nicholas Galanin works from his experience as a Lingít and Unangax artist. Embedding incisive observation and reflection into his oftentimes provocative work, he aims to redress the widespread misappropriation of Indigenous visual culture, the impact of colonialism, as well as collective amnesia. Speaking through multiple mediums, his concepts determine his processes, which include sculpture, installation, photography, video, performance, and textile-based work. This contemporary practice builds upon an Indigenous artistic continuum while celebrating the culture and its people.

Nicholas Galanin (b. 1979) lives and works in Sheet’ka (Sitka), Alaska. He earned a BFA at London Guildhall University (2003), an MFA at Massey University, Palmerston North, New Zealand (2007). Solo institutional exhibitions include: Baltimore Museum of Art (2024-25); and SITE Santa Fe (2023) among others. Permanent collections include The Museum of Modern Art, NY; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY among others. He has received Don Tyson Award (2025); and the Guggenheim Fellowship (2024).

Alex Katz

Alex Katz is an American figurative artist known for his paintings, sculptures, and prints. Since 1951, his work has been featured in over 250 solo and nearly 500 group exhibitions in the U.S. and internationally. He is widely recognized for his large-scale paintings with bold simplicity and heightened color, considered precursors to Pop Art.

Alex Katz (b. 1927, Brooklyn, NY) lives and works in New York, NY. He studied at the Cooper Union School of Art (1946–49) and attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture (1949–50). Recent solo exhibitions include: Museum of Modern Art, NY (2024); and the Guggenheim Museum, NY (2023) among others. Public collections include: The Metropolitan Museum of Art, NY; The Museum of Modern Art, NY; The National Gallery of Art, DC; and The Whitney Museum of American Art, NY among others.

Erik Lindman

Erik Lindman's artistic practice is defined by his innovative use of found materials such as shards of steel or canvas webbing as central elements in his paintings, allowing the built-up surface to direct the development of the work. The central forms—often avian or humanoid in appearance—emerge from monochromatic fields, creating a dynamic interplay between figure and ground. Never simply placed onto the canvas, these forms are synergistically integrated into the composition, with each shape and contour carefully considered while the thick layers of paint, bodied with shredded rubber and ground glass, add texture and depth to the painting’s topographical surface.

Erik Lindman (b. 1985, New York, NY) lives and works in New York. He earned his BA from Columbia University (2007) and received a Yale Norfolk Painting Fellowship in 2006. Selected solo exhibitions include Almine Rech, Shanghai, China (2023); and Emmanuel Barbault, New York, NY (2019). Lindman was honored at the Hirshhorn New York Gala “Artist x Artist” in 2019.

Luisa Rabbia

Luisa Rabbia blends the distinctions made between the human and the natural, expressing solidarity with the cosmos through the organic, bodily landscapes of her expansive paintings. She alludes to interconnected natural processes forming a thread between microcosms and macrocosms. Upon closer viewing, her physical and intuitive process becomes visible with its rhythmically scraped paint, the stratification of pencil marks, and imprints of fingertips. Rabbia alludes to the minute traces that each person leaves over the course of a lifetime, yet simultaneously asserts an expansive and interconnected vision of a wider universe.

Luisa Rabbia (b. 1970, Turin, Italy) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She received her MFA from the Accademia Albertina di Belle Arti in Turin, Italy. Solo institutional exhibitions include The Drawing Hall, Bergamo, Italy (2022); Collezione Maramotti, Reggio Emilia, Italy (2017-18); and Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Boston, MA (2015; 2008) among others. Group institutional exhibitions include Museo della Permanente, Milano, Italy (2025); Lentos Kunstmuseum, Linz, Austria (2025); and Austrian Cultural Forum, New York, NY (2023) among others.

Su-Mei Tse

Su-Mei Tse is a visual artist whose multidisciplinary work contemplates existence, notions of time, and rhythm. She expresses life questions by capturing fleeting moments of memories and feelings through various media including photography, sculpture, film, and installation. Impressions in everyday existence, whether they be a passing thought, transitory state, or a visual or auditory experience, are lyrically translated in her work. Tse was initially trained as a classical cellist before completing visual arts studies. This leads her to reflect on the nature of music and self, while the perception of visual and auditory elements remain central to her work.

Su-Mei Tse (b. 1973, Luxembourg) lives and works in Berlin and Luxembourg. She earned her MFA from Ecole Nationale Superieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris (2000). Solo institutional exhibitions include: Taipei Fine Arts Museum (2019); Yuz Museum, Shanghai (2018); Portland Museum of Art, OR (2018); She participated in Beijing International Art Biennale (2022); and the Biennale of Sydney (2018) among others.

Martha Tuttle

Martha Tuttle’s practice embeds natural elements in the forms of her paintings. The compositions emphasize materiality, employing physical processes such as dyeing, weaving, and sewing that permeate each of the works that are colored with naturally derived substances. Together with the found minerals, the compositions resonate with the larger geological questionings concerning how relationships can be established with the geologic.

Martha Tuttle (b. 1989, Santa Fe, NM) lives and works in Bozeman, MT and she received an MFA from Yale School of Art, New Haven, CT. Solo exhibitions include: Moody Center for the Arts, Houston (2024); and Storm King Arts Center, New York (2020-21). Tuttle has recently received the Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant (2025) and will participate in the Atelier Calder Residency (2026). Public collections include: The Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, TX; and The National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.

John Zurier

John Zurier’s paintings of atmospheric color fields examine qualities of evanescent light as well as solid radiance. Offering nuanced examples of the medium’s possibilities, Zurier pares down painting to the essentials with a sensory and allusive richness embedded in their asperity. The structural vocabularies and limited palette emphasize the beauty inherent in nature without reference to landscape. This subtle beauty is apparent in the subdued visual incidents of delicate inconsistencies in the executions of lines, marks, hues, and margins while demonstrating a deliberate emphasis on the wholeness of chromatic surface.

John Zurier (b. 1956, Santa Monica, CA) lives in Berkeley, CA and Reykjavík, Iceland. He received his MFA in painting from the University of California, Berkeley (1984). Selected solo exhibitions include: Moderna Museet Malmö, Sweden (2021); UC Berkeley Art Museum, Berkeley, CA (2018 and 2014); San Francisco Museum of Modern Art (2017).

Meridians Sector: M4

Art Basel’s Meridians sector is a dedicated section within the Art Basel Miami Beach art fair, focusing on large-scale works that transcend the traditional art fair booth format. This sector showcases monumental sculptures, paintings, installations, videos, and performances that are designed to offer a more immersive and expansive experience for visitors.

Luisa Rabbia
The Network

Luisa Rabbia’s large-scale painting The Network is an urgent response to the social and political upheavals undermining women’s rights. Inspired by Giuseppe Pellizza da Volpedo’s Il quarto stato (1901), Rabbia transforms the march of workers into a collective of women advancing in protest and solidarity. Figures drawn from myth and images of ancient goddesses merge with contemporary forms in bodies linked through root-like and cellular structures that evoke resilience and interdependence, amplifying a shared voice long silenced by violence and neglect. Using layered imagery and covering the surface with fingermarks to suggest traces, Rabbia reframes history through a contemporary lens. The Network stands as both protest and celebration, a vision of collective empowerment.
