NYC Selected Gallery Guide, March 2025
After several years during which galleries have focused relentlessly on narrative and figurative work, I feel a vibe shift in the air. Is it wishful thinking or is abstract painting roaring back? I recommend checking out RJ Messineo's show at CANADA, James Miller at Nichelle Beauchene, Nicolas Bermeo at King's Leap, and Franklin Evans, who has moved from site-specific wall installations onto canvas in his show at Miles McEnery. I'm looking forward to Moira Dryer's solo show at Magenta Plains, too. Known for a witty strain of post-minimal abstraction in the 1990s, she was a hero to painters of my generation who were then living in the long shadow of video, photography, and installation work.
