Erick Alejandro Hernández | Excerpts from a Shared Horizon

The paintings on view in Excerpts from a Shared Horizon all take place at the shift between night and day. Caught within the red glow of this ambiguous dawn-or-dusk, the paintings’ central figures are enveloped by rings of yellow paint and submerged within green and purple shadows. As if momentarily frozen within this temporal state, the lion in the wilderness settles into a wearily pensive state, while a man the ocean pauses at the cusp of coaxing a boat either away or towards himself. From the banks of the Tiber to a tropical wilderness, the figures collectively lose themselves to individual moments of contemplation. Launch Viewing Room

Pierre Knop | New Paintings

1 May - 31 Aug 2021 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

Raya Terran | stills from the migratory ballad

Raya Terran paints desolate landscapes filled with fleshy humanoid figures, engaged in mundane activities that belie their seeming monstrosity: climbing, swimming, photographing, hugging, hunching, trampolining. They are perpetually in motion, as if existing solely in the present, with no sense of past departure or future arrival. Their surroundings range from distinctly human environments of car-filled highways and tiled showers to nondescript plains and oceans; yet the figures appear equally indifferent to both.
