The Armory Show 2024

We are excited to return to The Armory Show, presenting a selection from our expanding roster of distinguished artists. Discover captivating works of our newly represented talents: Victor Ehikhamenor, Bea Scaccia, and Kasper Sonne. Ehikhamenor’s intricate ‘Rosary’ series powerfully captures the interplay of beliefs and traditions among colonized cultures. Scaccia’s evocative paintings delve into the profound depths of beauty and femininity. Sonne’s richly hued paintings, inspired by personal photographs, vividly bring his memories to life. Also on display will be a significant selection from Nobuyoshi Araki’s renowned painted photograph series, where gestural and abstract color traces elegantly symbolize female attraction and eroticism that create powerful aesthetic metaphors. A poetic mixed-media work by the late Radcliffe Bailey incorporates components rich with symbolism and history, crafting a compelling narrative that reflects on personal and collective history. Neo-geo pioneer Ross Bleckner continues to capture human fragility and counter formalism in a new delicate monochrome painting. With distinct angular brushstrokes, Kwesi Botchway emphasises black skin with purple hues, a colour linked to royalty, grandeur, and wisdom, wherein he highlights the idea of beauty in relation to the Black experience. Jaclyn Conley’s latest works showcase her evolving finesse in adapting history painting, blending scenes from Old Master paintings with socio-political movements in the United States. Peter Halley's distinct visual language consisting of cells, conduits, and prisons is expanded upon in a new work featuring interlocking canvases that form a precarious, off-balance structure. In his ongoing Jerome Project series, Titus Kaphar reinterprets the style of contemplative religious icons by changing the subject to incarcerated African American men as  exemplified in the work 'State Number One (Marcus Bullock)'. Tony Matelli incorporates figurative, botanical, and abstract forms in his sculpture, creating uncanny, trompe-l’œil objects like his iconic 'Weeds' that sprout from the space between gallery walls and floors.
