At Thaddaeus Ropac’s Ely House in London, The Heroes 1965–66, on view from 13
October to 18 December 2026, revisits a formative moment in Georg Baselitz’s practice.

Sophia Loeb creates paintings in which landscape, abstraction and sensory experience converge. Her images move between recognition and invention, constructing environments where colour, atmosphere and matter follow an internal logic. Rather than depicting a landscape, Loeb turns it into a condition of perception—something encountered as much as seen.

A face carries the tension between personal identity and public perception. It invites
recognition while remaining vulnerable to projection, classification and desire.

Angel Otero conceives painting as a material capable of recording its own becoming.
Born in Santurce, Puerto Rico, in 1981, and now working between Puerto Rico and New
York, he has developed a practice in which memory, art history, and material
transformation are deeply intertwined.

In Jonathan Lyndon Chase’s paintings, the body becomes a site of identity, intimacy, vulnerability, and transformation. Moving between figuration and abstraction, Chase creates visual worlds in which bodies, objects, and environments are inseparable, shaped by lived experience, everyday gestures, and community.

In his Silent Night exhibition at David Zwirner, Scott Kahn turns the familiar landscape into
a site of perceptual dislocation, where memory, estrangement, and belonging converge.

At Bortolami, New York, Christine Safa’s Noces (9 September–24 October 2026) examines how experience inhabits the inner world. Sensations, memories and intimacies converge in paintings where perception acquires the fluidity of recollection. Safa approaches painting as an act of attention, translating the encountered world into images shaped by inward experience.

At Tate Modern, Frida: The Making of an Icon (25 June 2026–3 January 2027) explores a
defining contradiction of contemporary visual culture: how an artist who challenged
conventions of identity, gender and representation became one of the world’s most
commercially reproduced figures.

Nathanaëlle Herbelin’s paintings begin with the intimacy of everyday life: domestic interiors, bodies, relationships and moments that might otherwise remain unnoticed.

Henni Alftan (b. 1979, Helsinki) is a Paris-based painter whose work examines the relationship between painting and the image. Drawing from fragments of everyday experience, she constructs tightly framed scenes in which figures, objects and gestures acquire an intensity that exceeds their apparent simplicity.
