Ali Cherri is known for his multidisciplinary work that often explores themes of archaeology, mythology, memory, and the politics of heritage and ruins. Cherri brings mud to life with monumental eagles, soldiers or the transtemporal history of mankind, blurring chronologies and alerting us to the latent dangers of civilization as an inherently destructive process.
Seated Simia is a sculptural piece that anthropomorphizes and reinterprets the figure of a monkey ("simia" is Latin for "ape"), exploring themes of evolution, human origins, or the border between nature and culture. Seated in a reflective pose, it engages with ideas about civilization, knowledge, or colonial representations of the "other." It belongs to one of the artist’s more recent works, extending his current interest in how bodies (human or non-human) are shaped by political and environmental histories.

Spring Florals, a tabletop still life featuring a profusion of flowers in a vase, is a continuation of Anna Weyant’s jewelry paintings, that convey unchanging stillness. Engaging with themes of abundance, vitality, and vanitas essential to the tradition of the still life, the composition features blooms that resemble the abstract, flattened flowers of the jewelry in Daisy Necklace and Daisy Earrings, charging it with a sense of intrigue and artifice.

Kenneth Noland is known for his vibrant use of color, formal clarity, and often geometric motifs such as chevrons, targets, stripes, and concentric circles. Mysteries: Costa del Sol is a piece by Noland, where the artist turns to a sophisticated exploration of Mediterranean-inspired hues and atmospheres suggested by a region in southern Spain known for its light and warmth.
However, the Mysteries alludes to a deeper and spiritual engagement with form and color, common in Noland's later period of creative work, which grew more contemplative and nuanced in tone.

Daniel Richter’s most recent series of paintings shows anthropomorphic creatures against chromatic backgrounds. Rendered in a spectrum of bright, prismatic colors, the works oscillate between geometric rigidity and organic fluidity. The German artist first came to prominence in the 1990s when he transitioned into fine art from the world of music, where he began his career designing posters and record sleeves for punk bands.
Richter combines motifs from art history, mass media and pop culture to create idiosyncratic, surreal worlds. Ever the innovator, his recent paintings tread a path between figuration and abstraction, typified by the chaotic entanglements of fragmented bodies. Evoking a sense of rebellious energy and electric vibrancy, making the figures both playful and defiant. 

Large-scale Ruth Asawa’s tied-wire sculptures begun in 1962. Spanning five feet in diameter, this work is a significant example of Asawa’s exploration of organic form. She began working with wire in the late 1940s as a student at Black Mountain College in North Carolina, where her teachers included Josef Albers, Merce Cunningham, and Buckminster Fuller.
Ruth Asawa will mention later about the inception of this practice: “A friend of ours brought a desert plant from Death Valley and said, ‘Here’s something for you to draw.’ I tried to draw it, but it was such a tangle that I had to construct it in wire in order to draw it. And then I got the idea that I could use it as a way to work in wire. I began to see all the possibilities: opening up the center and then making it flat on the wall.”

Sanford Biggers is a multidisciplinary artist whose work weaves together African American history, spiritual traditions, and contemporary critique through a rich symbolic language. Untitled (2024) exemplifies Biggers’s nuanced approach to form and material, blending classical sculptural techniques with conceptual rigor.
Carved from contrasting stones – earthy beige and dark green veined marble – the mask-like work evokes both African ritual objects and modernist abstraction. Its divided surface suggests duality, transformation, and the fragmented narratives of diasporic identity.

V. Viswanadhan (1940-2022) was an Indian-born, Paris-based abstract painter renowned for his exploration of colour, geometry, and spirituality. His creative work often reflects a synthesis of Indian philosophy and Western abstraction.
The 2002 piece Sans titre exemplifies Viswanadhan’s signature style, characterized by rich, layered hues and geometric forms. The interplay of deep reds and structured patterns evokes a sense of meditative rhythm, inviting viewers into a contemplative space. This piece exemplifies his exploration of spatial dynamics and chromatic intensity, contributing to his reputation in the realm of abstract art.

Anne Imhof is a German contemporary artist known for her multidisciplinary approach, encompassing performance, painting, and installation. Her work often delves into themes of power, identity, and the human condition. Untitled (Silas) (2024) marks a notable departure from Imhof’s earlier performance-centric pieces. This sculptural relief presents a surreal tableau of intertwined figures and symbolic elements, rendered in a dark, monochromatic palette.
The work features androgynous characters amidst oceanic motifs, including dolphins and a dog, evoking themes of intimacy and myth. This piece reflects Imhof’s transition from performance to sculptural forms, maintaining her signature exploration of human emotion and interaction. It invites contemplation on themes of intimacy, vulnerability, and existential tension.

Alberto Giacometti (1901-1966) was a Swiss sculptor and painter, celebrated for his distinctive elongated figures that encapsulate the essence of human existence.
Figurine (1956) embodies Giacometti's exploration of the human form's fragility and resilience. The slender bronze sculpture, with its textured surface and elongated proportions, reflects the artist's preoccupation with existential themes and the human condition in post-war Europe.
This figurine is typical of Alberto Giacometti's depiction of the female figure: naked, standing, arms at her sides, a pose he borrowed from ancient Egyptian statuary. Like Egyptian statuary, Giacometti wanted his sculptures to survive long after his death.
What is more, with the figurine series, Giacometti sought to escape naturalism, and Giacometti tried to escape from particularism to achieve something more universal, reducing as far as possible to the edge of recognizability, without crossing into pure abstraction.

Park Seo-bo (1931-2023) was a pioneering South Korean artist and a leading figure in the Dansaekhwa movement, which emphasized monochromatic painting and repetitive gestures. Écriture No.221123 is part of Park's renowned Écriture series, characterized by repetitive pencil marks on a painted surface.
This meditative process reflects the artist's philosophical engagement with nature, time, and the act of creation. The work's subtle textures and restrained palette invite viewers into a contemplative experience, emphasizing process over representation.
