Bo Bartlett believes in painting as an act of discovery. Drawing from a space of curiosity, wanderlust, and nostalgia, Bartlett’s process begins in the subconscious. Narratives unfold over time, resulting in monumental realist works, reminiscent of cinematic stills with nods to the Americana influences of Wyeth, Homer, and Rockwell. The immersive paintings present stories for viewers to explore and contemplate.
LIVES and WORKS at Thaddaeus Ropac Paris Marais is Lisa Brice’s first exhibition with the gallery. It is also the first solo presentation of the South-African-born, London-based painter’s work in France. In her latest body of work, Brice continues to challenge traditional representations of women in art history. Inheriting from and renewing the genre of the nude as painted by male artists, she transposes familiar scenes in an act of re-authorship that proposes an alternative to the power dynamics inherent in such images.
Viruses, stained-glass windows, Atari circuit-board patterns, and leaf structures all collide in the eleven new sculptural works in The Disappointment Engine, Jacob Hashimoto’s first solo exhibition at Miles McEnery Gallery. Loosely referencing East Asian craft traditions, the work also draws from the visual language of weeds and invasive species; radio telescopes; as well as the architecture of churches and mosques built during plagues, all to ask: how might visual sampling exist at the root of identity formation?
What I remember is the purity of the relationship of these young people and an innocence so different from today’s. As I look at these pictures, how the dancers touch each other, how they embrace [...] there’s a serenity that as a photographer I’m not used to. — Irving Penn, 1995

The Musée d'Art Moderne in Paris is devoting a major retrospective to Nicolas de Staël (1914-1955), a key figure on the post-war French art scene. Twenty years after the one organised by the Centre Pompidou in 2003, this exhibition offers a fresh look at the artist's work, drawing on more recent thematic exhibitions that have highlighted certain little-known aspects of his career (Antibes in 2014, Le Havre in 2014, Aix-en-Provence in 2018).
From June 15 to September 24, Le Bal presents the work of the Belgian photographer Harry Gruyaert through a wide selection of vintage Cibachrome prints, drawing an unprecedented path in the work of this leading figure of contemporary photography.
