Matthew Brandt

Carbon, Birch, Silver, Rooms The works in Carbon, Birch, Silver, Rooms continue Brandt’s experimental processes inspired by the natural world, and further articulate complexities within landscape picture-making traditions. As described by the artist, “Light is a strange thing to hold, and this exhibition has something to do with this undertaking.” Featured are black carbon prints, laser-engraved birch plywood pieces, gelatin silver prints doused in liquid silver, and a selection of reclaimed chandeliers from various rooms. Together, these works address the interrelationship of light and dark, and their influence on the subject, material, and observer. Launch Viewing Room

Pierre Knop

Paysage Wonderlust Yossi Milo Gallery is pleased to present new paintings by German-French artist Pierre Knop. Knop’s work hybridizes drawing and painting, resulting in richly atmospheric works where figuration and abstraction resonate with subtle meaning. At first glance, Knop’s paintings are playfully uncanny, conveying a childlike fantasia with swirling colors and a deliberate flattening of perspective. Yet there is also a brooding loneliness that comes creeping in, lending the work a dark flair despite the whimsy. Launch Viewing Room

Hassan Hajjaj

My Rockstars In his series My Rockstars, Hassan Hajjaj pays tribute to the individuals by whom he has been artistically inspired, capturing a range of international performers, from recording and visual artists such as Hank Willis Thomas, Lynette Yiadom-Boakye and Cardi B., to less known music bands like Arfoud Brothers and Nigerian singer-songwriter Keziah Jones. From the year 2000, Hajjaj has photographed these figures in colorful pop-up studios constructed from textiles and plastic mats typical of Morocco and North Africa, which he sets up in the streets of London, Marrakesh, Dubai, Kuwait and Paris.
