May 9 - May 30

A Small Devotion is a group exhibition that considers the multiple ways devotion operates within contemporary art. The phrase refers, in part, to scale—the intimate dimensions of the gallery and the size of the works on view—while also pointing to the language of attention that surrounds art, where looking and thinking can take on a kind of reverence or fixation that borders on the religious. Devotion, here, is less a matter of audience than of practice; it extends beyond the act of looking to the conditions of making.

12:54 PMAnthony Falcetta: Understories presents abstractions built through layered revision — acrylic, spray paint, and gypsum compound accumulating into surfaces where marks are erased, covered, and reworked. Color relationships suggest natural and built environments without becoming literal; deep tones contrast with bright passages, warm against cool. Driven by a "desire for structure" he continually disrupts, Falcetta bends and shuffles time into surfaces where, as he puts it, "edges become inconclusive" and finished work always hints at what lies beneath.

Apr 9 - May 16

Tess Michalik: Sea Violet presents floral paintings that move between abstraction and naturalism, drawing on Romanticism, Abstract Expressionism, and 18th-century decorative traditions. Working alla prima, Michalik builds voluminous impasto layers where individual daubs transform into petals and leaves — flowers depicted at the zenith of their brief existence, set against flat, wallpaper-like grounds that hold them hovering in stage-like space. Pleasure and transience coexist quietly: small protestations, in the artist's words, against "the drudgery of the mundane."

Apr 9 - May 16

White Ground Paintings presents paintings by Joseph Raffael made in the mid-1960s following a bout of hepatitis and the death of his father. Painted fragments—body parts, machinery, consumer products—are carefully organized on white grounds, resembling collage, reflecting a fragmented state of mind shaped by illness, grief, and psychoanalysis. Neither narrative nor connected, the images coexist in open tension, inviting the viewer to complete the picture.

May 14 - Jun 27

Mary Crenshaw: Inhale pairs immigrant portraits with paintings of cigarette butts embedded in city sidewalks — the consumed cigarette as metaphor for the migrant, carelessly discarded and forgotten. Thrifted frames, worn and mismatched, elevate the stubs into portrait-like presences, while loosely rendered faces of real people encountered on buses, in parks, and in stores stretch geographies across the globe. The exhibition holds absence and presence in tension: icons of people who have already left alongside figures free, in Crenshaw's words, to walk off the canvas and live their lives.

Apr 28 - May 23

Perri Neri: Caught Looking emerged when studio constraints forced Neri to abandon her signature large-scale canvases, redirecting her attention to the single face. Inviting social media followers to submit selfies, she received over 30 entries within a day — each interpreted in direct, painterly realism at a uniform 16 × 12 inches. Participants receive a print and share in proceeds if their portrait sells, complicating traditional artist-subject dynamics. The result is a democratic grid of contemporary faces, each voluntarily offered, accumulating into a portrait of how we present ourselves to be seen.

Apr 28 - May 23

Mitsumasa Kadota: Dissolving Horizons: A New Figure-Ground Proposition positions Kadota's painting in dialogue with American Abstract Expressionism — particularly the flatness achieved by Frankenthaler and Newman — while grounding it in a polytheistic, non-dualistic worldview in which the boundary between self and world, figure and ground, constantly wavers and dissolves. Dynamic brushwork and vibrant color generate intense surface friction, sublimating Eastern philosophical traditions into the structural foundation of the canvas. The exhibition proposes a contemporary continuation of abstraction's historical trajectory through a distinctly Eastern spiritual lens.

May 7 - Jun 18

May 8 - Jun 7

Zachary Lank: By Lethe, Dreaming presents new paintings drawing on literary explorations of death and spirituality — including George Saunders' Lincoln in the Bardo and Joshua Cutchin's Ecology of Souls. Rendered in ochres, browns, and deep reds, figures appear suspended in quiet pastoral spaces, caught in moments of transformation where bodies and materials remain in a constant state of becoming. Curated by Will Cotton, the works defy easy description — speaking, in Cotton's words, in poetry rather than logic.

Apr 24 - May 30

Visibility, how we make ourselves and our communities seen, is at the center of Come Closer, a four-person exhibition featuring works by Ezra Benus, Marie Franco, Woomin Kim, and Sydney Kleinrock. Through tactility, coded narrative, and elements that conceal or reveal, the works beckon the viewer to come closer, look closer, and at times to touch. Together they highlight the web of relationships that sustain us.

Apr 30 - May 30

Jakupsil is pleased to present Clockwork Heart, a solo exhibition of recent paintings and sculptures by Anikoon at 2 Rivington Street, New York, alongside the launch of his first children’s book, The Robot and the Winding Key. The exhibition brings together three bodies of work: paintings and sculptures in which Anikoon’s figurative language becomes more lyrical and biographical, drawing on personal memory and consumer culture.

Apr 28 - May 18

Time Isn't After Us marks John Vitale's debut New York solo exhibition. Vitale's abstract paintings carry an unmistakable musicality—shapes and layers colliding and harmonizing like sharp guitar notes or a saxophone improvisation. The work pulses with motion while simultaneously evoking calm: tranquility within complexity, excitement within reassurance. Resisting easy categorization, his paintings offer an evolving language grounded in its own clarity and purpose.

The exhibition, which brings together diverse artistic explorations of connection and entanglement, will feature works by Dominique de Bellefroid, Peter Carr, J. T. Donovan, Christophe von Hohenberg, María Isabel de Lince, Hepburn London, Madalena Negrone, Alejandro Rauhut, Rotraut, George Schulman, Strong-Cuevas, and Cristina Vergano.

Apr 24 - Jun 6

To Negotiate To brings together work by eleven graduating BFA students in the Design History and Practice program at Parsons School of Design. Taking Nietzsche's question—can one affirm a life so fully that it is chosen again, exactly as it is?—as its organizing condition, the exhibition explores negotiation between radical freedom and facticity. Unified by no single theme, the works treat constraints not as limitations alone, but as the material against which desire is tested and reconfigured.
