Marina Adams

For more than three decades, Adams has developed a dynamic and powerful abstract language that explores the possibilities of form and movement through the structural force of color. Understanding abstraction not as theory but as a “synthesis of body and mind,” Adams embraces what John Keats termed “negative capability”—the ability to exist within uncertainties and mysteries without reaching after fact or reason. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, textiles, and the rhythmic cadences of poetry and music, Adams engages in an ongoing dialogue with Modernist artists—including Henri Matisse, Joan Mitchell, and Willem de Kooning— while maintaining a singular and distinctly contemporary voice.

Marina Adams (b. 1960, Orange, NJ) lives and works in Brooklyn and Bridgehampton, NY, and Parma, Italy. 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 explores perception and symbolism through reduced forms he finds in nature and the cosmos. His multilayered paintings create thick and shimmering sculptural surfaces of impasto that reveal underlying layers of color and linen. Fägerskiöld’s work explores the fundamental nature of painting. His approach is not to create illusions of three-dimensionality or to convey narrative content, but rather to emphasize the tactile, real nature of painting. As viewers, we are invited to engage with the materiality in his paintings.

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); and Jönköping läns Museum, Jönköping, Sweden (2018) among others. Fägerskiöld’s work is in permanent collections including Buffalo AKG Art Museum, New York;  Stavanger Kunstmuseum, Stavanger, Norway; and Malmö Konstmuseum, Malmö, Sweden; among others. He has been awarded the Åke Andrén Foundation's Scholarship (2018); the Fredrik Roos Art Grant (2013); and the Maria Bonnier Dahlins Award for Young Artists (2010); among others.

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: MassArt Musseum, Boston, MA (2025); Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, MD (2024-25); and SITE Santa Fe, Santa Fe, NM (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. Katz has established himself as one of the preeminent painters of the last 70 years through his pared down, highly stylized depictions that forgo realism to instead capture light and feeling. His paintings of plants and landscapes in particular often walk a fine line between depiction and abstraction, becoming more about color choices, brush strokes, and overall composition. 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.

Esther Kläs

Esther Kläs employs hands-on dexterity with her process-oriented sculptures and works on paper which challenge contemporary sculptural norms and discourses. With links to Postminimalism, she utilizes malleable materials including clay, oil stick, or resin while maintaining an intimate physical relationship with her work. The artist’s distinctive visual language relates to her body in a surrounding environment while simultaneously referencing her inner experience. Appearing at once as independent presences and projections of a poetic imagination, her sculptures and works on paper emphasize the intuitive gestures that shape her work. Questioning the essence of objects and herself within a space, the work suggests relationships of both being and seeing.

Esther Kläs (b. 1981, Mainz, Germany) graduated from the Kunstakademie Düsseldorf (2007) and received an MFA from Hunter College, New York (2010). She currently lives and works in Barcelona, Spain. Museum exhibitions include Kolumba Museum, Cologne, Germany (2021); Fondazione Giuliani, Rome, Italy (2020); Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv, Israel (2019); Weserburg Museum of Modern Art, Bremen, Germany (2018); Proyecto AMIL, Lima, Peru (2017-2018); Fondazione Brodbeck, Catania, Italy (2015-2016); Kunsthalle Bielefeld, Germany (2015); deCordova Sculpture Park and Museum, Lincoln, Massachusetts (2015); Marino Marini Museum, Florence, Italy (2014); MoMA PS1, Long Island City, New York (2012).

Robert Ryman

Robert Ryman’s rigorous practice of minimalism and monochrome painting centers around exploring the literal facts of materials, light, and space while highlighting the structural power of surface and edge. Rather than a purely optical matter or an illusionistic window, the artist understood painting as the direct presentation of physical elements such as paint application, support, fasteners, and scale. His work drew inspiration from jazz, everyday materials, and architectural environments, engaging in a persistent dialogue with art historical predecessors such as Paul Cézanne, Henri Matisse, Mark Rothko, Barnett Newman, and Ad Reinhardt.

Robert Ryman (b. 1930, Nashville, TN; d. 2019, New York, NY) lived and worked in New York, NY. He studied at Tennessee Polytechnic Institute, Cookeville, TN and George Peabody College for Teachers, Nashville, TN. Solo exhibitions include Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY (1972); Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam, Netherlands (1974); Palais des Beaux-Arts, Brussels, Belgium (1974) and a major retrospective at the Tate Gallery, London, UK (1993). Public collections include Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; Tate Modern, London, UK; Centre Georges Pompidou, Paris, France; and Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL. He was was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim Foundation Scholarship in 1973.

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 participated 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.

Rebecca Ward

Rebecca Ward's practice merges painting, sculpture, and craft by physically deconstructing and reassembling canvases to create geometrically grounded works. By exposing the multidimensional nature of painting and its constituent parts, Ward. creates a spatial play of harmonious forms and color interactions that explore the relationship between the mathematical and the natural world. Through a manipulation of reassembled materials and viscous gradients, the artist explores spectrums—both literal and metaphorical—where shadow and form transcend their physical boundaries. The work invites viewers to contemplate the delicate nature of perception, blurring the lines between the tangible and the ethereal.

Rebecca Ward (b. 1984, Waco, TX) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She earned a BA at the University of Texas, Austin, TX (2006) and an MFA at the School of the Visual Arts, New York, NY (2012). Institutional exhibitions include SITE Santa Fe, Santa Fe, NM (2022); Site 131, Dallas, TX (2021); Columbia College, Chicago, IL (2018); and The FLAG Art Foundation, New York, NY (2017) among others. Public collections include Dallas Museum of Art, Dallas, TX; The Warehouse, Dallas, TX; The FLAG Art Foundation, New York, NY; The Hepworth Wakefield, New Yorkshire, UK; and Museum of Old and New Art, Tasmania, Australia.

Robert Zandvliet

Robert Zandvliet is one of the foremost Dutch painters working today, whose work has been on the cusp of abstraction and representation since the early 1990’s. He examines the tension between self-reflective artistic practice and painting bound to a representational function. His pictures arise out of a movement between opposites, a symbiotic relationship between deliberate composition and chance occurrence, abstraction and figuration, part and whole, space and surface, and in which these elements are fused into polyphonic structures that re-envision the history of painting through his own lens. Oftentimes using landscape as a conceptual frame of reference, recognizable representations of a landscape become replaced by a gestural play of lines, colors, and surfaces that shift and merge foreground and background, reorienting the viewer’s perception of depth and surface.

Robert Zandvliet (b. 1970 in Terband, NL) lives in Rotterdam and works in Haarlem, Netherlands. He received an MFA from De Ateliers, Amsterdam, Netherlands in 1994. Solo institutional exhibitions include Fries Museum, Leeuwarden, Netherlands (2026); Kunsthalle Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany (2026); Museum Franz Gertsch, Burgdorf, Switzerland (2026); and Dordrechts Museum, Dordrecht, Netherlands (2020, 2019). Public collections include Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Kunstmuseum Lucerne; Musée d’art moderne et contemporain, Strasbourg; Kunstmuseum, The Hague; Rijksmuseum, Amsterdam, Netherlands; Kunstmuseum Bonn; Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar, Netherlands; Microsoft Art Collection, Redmond, Washington; Colby College, Museum of Art, Waterville, Maine; Museum de Pont, Tilburg. He is a recipient of the Prix de Rome (1994), the Charlotte Köhler Prize (1998) and the Wolvecamp Prize (2004).

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). Zurier was named an Honoree at the Hirshhorn New York Gala "Artist x Artist" in 2019.
