Hopes and Fears presents new paintings by Tristan Unrau across three gallery spaces. In his first exhibition with the gallery, Unrau works across varied styles and art historical references, combining source imagery, including material generated with diffusion models, into hybrid compositions. The paintings examine authorship, perception, and the role of style in contemporary painting.

Christina Quarles presents a new body of work which reflects experiences of displacement shaped by recent wildfires, addressing instability across physical, emotional, and spatial registers. Through densely layered compositions, distorted figures, and shifting planes, the paintings examine resilience, fragmentation, and the tension of inhabiting multiple realities simultaneously.

Barley Patch 2 presents eight paintings by Hodges arranged as a composite landscape. Rural elements such as architectural forms, tree trunks, fence posts, turf, and cartoon figures suggest a mapped environment while emphasizing the tension between image and painting. The works construct a spatial field that references landscape without fully representing it.

Monika Sprüth and Philomene Magers are pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by David Salle at the Los Angeles gallery, the artist’s first solo exhibition in LA since 1997. Arguably the leading postmodern painter of the last forty-five years, Salle combines images from a variety of sources, all rooted in what the artist calls the “presentational mode.” His practice is grounded in the art of juxtaposition; his “style” is the integration of disparate, contrasting styles, all resolved into dynamic, highly malleable compositions. Salle’s image clusters are analogous to musical chords, in which notes, at precise intervals to one another, are struck at the same time, producing an emotional resonance.
