MARUANI MERCIER is delighted to return to The Armory Show, presenting a selection of paintings and sculptures by artists from our roster. George Rickey’s kinetic sculpture belongs to a lifelong investigation of balance, motion, and the choreography of form and movement through three-dimensional space. Georg Karl Pfahler’s hard- edge paintings, made in the mid-1960s, reflect his dedication to exploring the relationship between space, colour, and shape, exemplifying the rigorous formal language of postwar European abstraction. Peter Halley’s recent, paintings extend his long-standing visual vocabulary of cells and conduits, rendered in synthetic, high-keyed colour. Though their vivid palette might first read as celebratory, the works unmask the isolating and controlling structures beneath contemporary life.
A compelling selection of contemporary figurative works examines domestic space, memory, and interiority. Jaclyn Conley presents oil collages that disrupt linear narrative to explore layered domesticity and socio-political history. Zaam Arif renders solitary figures in quiet, nocturnal settings, employing a muted palette of umbers and ochres to evoke subtle psychological tension, isolation, and the passage of time. Von Wolfe bridges digital and traditional image-making, translating AI- generated compositions into oil on canvas to stage uncanny domestic tableaux charged with symbolic weight.
Expanding into expressive abstraction and materiality, Samuel de Saboia large-scale canvases merge gesture, myth, and vibrant pigments into transformative visual narratives. Æmen Ededéen’s complex mixed- media painting layers glass beads and material over an extended creative process to construct shimmering, fragmented portraits that resist easy resolution. Ross Bleckner continues a decades-long exploration of memory, pattern, and the body, treating the canvas as a delicate site of formal inquiry and elegiac reflection.
The presentation is completed by historical portraiture and figuration that contextualize these contemporary dialogues. Francesco Clemente’s intimate painted portraits and mirrored white bronze sculpture engage portraiture as a vessel for psychological presence and human. Finally, a unique screenprint by Andy Warhol underscores the booth, referencing foundational postwar mechanics of celebrity, identity, and representation.
