Theodora Allen: Oak reviewed in Observer
by Elisa Carollo July 3, 2025 Ethereal and mystical, Theodora Allen’s enigmatic paintings occupy a space untethered from any specific time or place. In her latest exhibition at Kasmin’s Tenth Avenue space, the Los Angeles–based artist presents a series of vertical canvases conceived as portals—fractured monuments and stone facades split open to reveal luminous blue skies. From these ruptures emerge delicate silhouettes of germinating flora, evoking rebirth through ruin and the quiet persistence of life beyond collapse. Anchoring the room is a large horizontal landscape: an icy terrain, cracked and splintering, that evokes the environmental trauma of a wounded earth visibly scarred by human interference. Yet even this rupture becomes a threshold, opening onto other worlds and dimensions, suspended between a shadowed underworld and a luminous upper realm where a glowing arc of light cuts through an ethereal blue sky.

Alexis Ralaivao: Éloge de l’ombre (In Praise of Shadows) reviewed in The Brooklyn Rail
by Alfred Mac Adam July 1, 2025 So arch, so witty, so guided by ideas is Alexis Ralaivao’s show that it might be construed as a revival of the anti-realist Mannerism of Pontormo or Rosso Fiorentino. Ralaivao’s perverse version of Mannerism manifests itself first in the concetto (or conceit) that these twelve oils on canvas are painted exclusively in black and white, so they are in effect paintings made to imitate photographs from an era before color photography. Ralaivao is not like a Weegee armed with brushes, so he avoids overt violence, managing instead to capture instants of passion, of erotic arousal, even ecstasy. The origin of these powerful but subtly expressed passions lurks in the source of his title, Jun’ichirō Tanizaki’s 1934 essay “In Praise of Shadows.” Ralaivao’s titles allude to matters Tanizaki discusses, but his work is far from a mere illustration of the Japanese novelist’s ideas.

Diana Al-Hadid interviewed in The Brooklyn Rail
by Elizabeth Buhe July 1, 2025 Diana Al-Hadid creates freestanding sculptures, wall-based relief paintings, and works on paper to examine the narrative frameworks that inform human culture. Born in Syria, Al-Hadid immigrated to the United States as a child and grew up in Ohio. On the occasion of her exhibition, unbecoming, at the Eli and Edythe Broad Art Museum at Michigan State University, Al-Hadid joined Elizabeth Buhe on the New Social Environment (Episode #1240). Their conversation, edited for print, touches on a range of topics, including the relationship of the body to architecture, what it means to be unbecoming, and why images of women in motion are so important to the artist.

Ali Banisadr: The Alchemist reviewed in Canvas Magazine
by Osman Can Yerebakan June 26, 2025 The wind blows from all corners in The Alchemist, Ali Banisadr’s first survey exhibition in the USA. It is not just the mighty gusts of wind cutting through the upstate New York hamlet that might howl across the show’s paintings, drawings and sculptures at the Katonah Museum of Art. In the Iranian-American artist’s turbulent semi-abstractions and confronting figurations, the whirlwinds of time and place sweep and storm. Procession and instability combat each other in oil on linen paintings with no eventual winner; failure is also the sole outcome of a search for serenity. Banisadr’s universe, however, does not compromise hope: the task at the viewer’s end is to seek the snippets of sunshine through the density of paint and disarray. View More -

Ali Banisadr: The Alchemist reviewed in The Brooklyn Rail
by Susan Harris June 4, 2025 Ali Banisadr: The Alchemist is a sweeping survey of the artist’s last twenty years of work in which visitors bear witness to dazzling personal and collective worlds and embedded gestures that explode across and beyond the confines of the canvases. Alchemy, indeed, lies at the core of the enigmatic topographies and difficult-to-discern figures in paintings that are distinctively grounded in a fusion of abstraction and figuration—not as painterly strategy but as an outcome of an intuitive, empathic process involving synesthesia, a phenomenon unique to certain individuals in which one sense triggers a response in another sense.

Helena Foster: Time Honoured featured in Plus Magazine
April 18, 2025 Walking into Helena Foster’s “Time Honoured” at Kasmin, you’re met with a hush—a sacred quiet that wraps around each painting like breath held in contemplation. Though it marks the first solo show in New York for the London-based painter, Foster’s presence feels neither new nor foreign. Her work carries the gravity of ancestral memory, the lyricism of oral storytelling, and the immediacy of the present. Through her meticulous layering of oil on linen, paper, and vellum, she offers something rare: paintings that speak not in proclamations but in visual whispers—proverbs rendered in earth tones and radiant light.

Morgan Falconer & Mark Polizzotti on "How To Be Avant-Garde"
March 6, 2025 Reacting to the tumultuous crises of the twentieth century, especially the horrors of World War I, avant-garde artists and writers sought to destroy art by transforming it into the substance of everyday life. How to Be Avant-Garde is a journey through the interlocking networks of these richly creative lives with their visions of a better world, their sometimes sympathetic but often strange and turbulent conversations, and their objects and writings that defied categorization.

Judith Bernstein reviewed in Artforum
by Max Lakin March 1, 2025 Being the screaming conscience for a society that would prefer to not be bothered by one is a tough gig. Fortunately, our culture provides enough moral failure to keep things fresh. With a Jersey girl’s sailor mouth and an optically assaultive style that approaches (but of course can never match) the reality it critiques, Judith Bernstein, one of feminist art’s toughest and funniest instigators, has borne unwavering witness for nearly sixty years to this country’s deficiencies of decency, its misogyny and violence, its hypocrisies and compromises. Her work elicits a double-edged feeling: catharsis over the fact that someone else is outraged, and despondence that her anger remains perpetually relevant. View More -

Announcing Robert Indiana: The Source, 1959–1969
February 19, 2025 Kasmin announces Robert Indiana: The Source, 1959–1969, a focused survey of the transformative decade in which Indiana established his unique artistic language, achieving wide recognition and cementing his place as an icon of American art. Featuring over 20 paintings drawn exclusively from the artist’s personal collection as endowed by Indiana to the Star of Hope Foundation, the exhibition will also include an example from the artist’s first edition of LOVE sculptures, conceived in 1966 and executed between 1966 and 1968, and a vitrine display of archival materials including some of the artist’s journals. This exhibition marks Kasmin’s first collaboration with the Star of Hope Foundation, which was established by the artist in his lifetime, and the gallery’s eighth solo Indiana exhibition since 2003. Robert Indiana: The Source, 1959–1969 will be on view at 509 West 27th Street, New York, from February 27–March 29, 2025. View More -

Elliott Puckette: Unfolding reviewed in The Brooklyn Rail
by Ekin Erkan November 2024 Elliott Puckette’s eleventh solo exhibition at Kasmin Gallery, Unfolding, includes two bronze sculptures and eight ink, gesso, and kaolin on wood panel paintings. The latter’s gessoed grounds and ink base layers are applied in marbled monochromatic washes of swirling aniline grey and grisaille silver. Where these iron clouds break, uneven crepuscular cleaves of dusted alabaster light splinter through like lightning. Each work is marked by white razor blade arcs—Puckette’s signature lines. The gyrations of these serpentine, lineal furrows are first etched and then deepened with cross-hatching as Puckette further subtracts the line from the wood panel, the recesses making negative space material.

Nengi Omuku featured in Hyperallergic
by Natalie Weis October 3, 2024 Aso oke, a handwoven cloth that originated with the Yoruba people in Western Africa, finds its most luxurious form in the sanyan style, which is composed of indigenous wild silk and cotton threads and used in traditional garments for special occasions. After receiving an MA from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2012, Nengi Omuku returned home to Nigeria where she recognized the revered fabric as an opportunity to integrate her cultural heritage into her artistic practice. While she began by sourcing vintage sanyan dress sets and meticulously deconstructing and restitching the garments into flat canvases, she now has the cloth made by a Nigerian collective. Omuku’s oil paintings are lush and impressionistic, situating figures within flattened, Fauvist vegetation or against dramatic cloudscapes. Her palette is bright and pleasing (often cued by the colored threads running through the vintage fabric) and softened by her light brushwork — hazy dreamscapes of harmonious coexistence. —Natalie Weis View More -

Matvey Levenstein: Zone in The Brooklyn Rail
by Alex Grimley October 2, 2024 Matvey Levenstein’s paintings depart in a similar manner. Distance is a primary characteristic of his art, but it is not the distance of irony or detachment. It is, rather, that of memory, of nostalgia, realized in painterly terms. Though the small scale of these works draws us closer, the surface and scene seem to dissolve rather than gain in definition as one approaches. The soft edges of mist shrouded trees and distant telephone poles blur with proximity, like the paint surface itself, which reveals little of the artist’s brushwork. View More

Encyclopedia: The Late Collages of Dorothea Tanning featured in Hyperallergic
by Natalie Weis September 25, 2024 Encyclopedia: The Late Collages of Dorothea Tanning brings together 19 collaged works, most of which date from the late 1980s. Tanning had already published the first of her two memoirs and was increasingly turning to literary pursuits. The collages, with their scraps of fabric, tissue, paper, watercolor, and ink, can give the sense that the artist picked up past works’ detritus from her studio floor and decided she might as well make art out of it. Largely abstract, with a few figurative elements (the artist’s hands, cats’ paws, a faucet, a bicycle), the pieces serve to ignite viewers’ imaginations and encourage them to fashion their own interpretations.
