A curated list of exhibitions on view or opening soon

Vanessa McKernan, The Wanderer

GALLERY: Abbozzo Gallery

LOCATION: Toronto, Canada

DATE: April 10 – May 2, 2026


McKernan's debut with Abbozzo. When she finishes a painting she turns it 180 degrees and starts again. These are oil paintings made over a year and a half in the Ottawa Valley, starting from photographs, old lithographs, things she saw in a market in Mexico City.




Júlia Martins Miranda, Pindorama

GALLERY: Escat Gallery

LOCATION: Barcelona, Spain

DATE: March 12 – May 2, 2026


Pindorama is the Tupi-Guarani name for the land now called Brazil. Miranda lives far from home and paints it from memory, through color, poetry, and music. The show also includes The Arazzo Collection, where paintings are hung on brass tubes, a nod to the gold mining history of Minas Gerais, where she's from.





Janaina Tschäpe, piruetas de olhos abertos (spinning, eyes open)

GALLERY: Fortes D'Aloia & Gabriel

LOCATION: São Paulo, Brazil

DATE: April 9 – May 30, 2026


Tschäpe's first solo in São Paulo since 2019. Large-scale panoramic paintings made between her New York studio and Bocaina in Minas Gerais. She works in oil, oil stick, watercolor, and pastel, and the Brazilian landscape comes through as atmosphere, humidity, light, the weight of the air.




Hao Wang, Distorted Coordinates

GALLERY: Studio d'Arte Cannaviello

LOCATION: Milan, Italy

DATE: April 23 – June 1, 2026


Twenty new works about being stuck between two countries. Wang trained in Hangzhou and Milan. Western references like Michelangelo's David sit next to Asian visual traditions, and everything hangs in this hazy, melancholic atmosphere. The gallery itself is changing hands, now run by Gio Cannaviello, son of the founder.





Fidelis Joseph & Juan Manuel Salas, Palimpsest

GALLERY: C24 Gallery

LOCATION: New York, USA

DATE: April 23 – June 6, 2026


Fidelis Joseph (Nigeria, 1989) paints from collected photographs, his own and other people's, and leaves parts of the canvas exposed. Juan Manuel Salas (Mexico, 1992) keeps adding layers of paint and reference, Roman frescoes next to digital culture, until the painting is basically a record of its own process.





Tappan Collective, Assembly

GALLERY: Tappan

LOCATION: Los Angeles, USA

DATE: February – June 2026


Tappan's first show of 2026 at their Melrose Avenue space in LA. Group show, lots of disciplines, and the whole thing is built around the idea that making work is already a collective act, even when you do it alone.





Eko Bintang, Role/Play

GALLERY: Sullivan+Strumpf

LOCATION: Singapore

DATE: April 23 – June 13, 2026

Bintang fills notebooks with loose thoughts, and his paintings come out of those pages. Masked figures, no identities, scenes that feel unfinished on purpose. The title Role/Play is the whole question: when are you performing and when are you actually free.





Hyangmok Baik, Have You Ever Fallen in Love?

GALLERY: 193 Gallery

LOCATION: Paris, France

DATE: April 25 – June 13, 2026


Baik's first solo in Paris, after showing at Untitled Art in Miami and Art SG in Singapore. He paints theatrical, off-balance figures and the subject is love, or more specifically, what it does to you.
