Geppy Pisanelli, Glimmers for the Drift, oil on Canvas, 45 x 60".
Hidden Lights
GR Gallery in New York City is hosting a new solo show featuring the metaphorical paintings of Italian artist Geppy Pisanelli. Hidden Lights offers an immersive experience that challenges perceptions and inspires reflection, showcasing the artist’s latest series in which he explores the dynamic interplay between nature and artifice. “A hallmark of Pisanelli’s artistry lies in his creation of archetypal images,” the gallery notes. “His paintings may initially appear as realistic depictions but gradually unveil layers of metaphorical and mental associations. These works act as conduits for contemplation, inviting viewers to delve into the expressive potential of painting as a medium for analyzing human existence and the multifaceted nature of reality.” The exhibition will be on view through March 15.

Kent Monkman solo show
The Denver Art Museum presents the first major survey in the country for celebrated Cree artist Kent Monkman in partnership with the Montreal Museum of Fine Arts. Kent Monkman: History is Painted by the Victors will be on view from April 20 through August 17. Based in New York City and Toronto, Canada, Monkman is known for his provocative interventions into Western European and American art history. Through his painting, Monkman pushes forward an understanding of the lived experiences of Indigenous people today while confronting colonial injustices. Featuring 41 monumental works, History is Painted by the Victors draws from the DAM’s extensive collection of Monkman’s work alongside newly created works and loans from other institutions and private collections. —
