Juliano-Villani’s irreverent artistry is fueled by her obsession with consumer culture and social taboo, resulting in a mirage of distorted iconography. Augmenting this strategy with an awareness of representational painting’s history, she produces images derived from a personal archive of books, magazines, and photographs, as well as from online sources. Using acrylic, airbrush, and oil painting techniques, she incorporates fragments of her own writing and elements of the work of other artists such as Danish painter and sculptor Ovartaci (1894–1985). Juliano-Villani’s work also refers to cartoons, addressing racial, sexual, and social stereotypes through their mischievous wit and unsettling ambiguity. For her, these kinds of images are “democratic, based on impulse and speed; much like a sniper with a vision.”

New York-based Emerging Artist Chase Hall's New Exhibition at David Kordansky Gallery. The Bathers continues Hall’s ongoing investigation into the complex histories of coastal regions and the ocean’s depth, featuring a new body of work that addresses access and limitations to nature, leisure, public space, and Black adventurism. Hall works with a mixture of acrylic paint and brewed coffee on cotton canvas to render portraits of figures living amongst animals, playing sports, and congregating in sharply focused aquatic scenes. Using the expanse of the canvas—and drawing on his personal experiences of moving between states such as Minnesota, Illinois, Nevada, Colorado, California, and New York, where he would locate water in and around these regions—Hall complicates traditional understandings of race, class, mixedness, and geography within historically charged social landscapes with painterly rigor.

The exhibition presents a group of Richter’s last paintings, made in 2016–2017; a number of these abstract oil paintings will be shown here for the first time. Though Richter completed his last paintings in 2017, his dynamic practice continues his artistic inquiries into the possibilities of abstraction and perception through his ongoing experimentation with drawing, printing and sculpture. 
Richter has produced a new glass installation that continues his exploration of the human perspective and the built environment. An expansive suite of new works on paper from 2021–2022—some made with ink and others with graphite and colored pencil—are also on view, as well as works related to the artist’s mood series of colored ink sketches. As Dieter Schwarz notes, Richter’s new work “has transformed into the celebration of the visible and this celebration is driving new chapters in [his] indefatigable creativity.”
