“I love to draw, and I have for as long as I can remember.” For self-taught Paris-based artist Frédéric Forest, drawing has always been a process of discovery.

Shanghai-based photographer Ziqian Liu is in a constant search for order and beauty. Enchanting and borderline surrealistic, her self-portraits are imbued with a serenity that invigorates, soothes, and forges a connection to the environment and the viewer. Her rigorous minimalistic style and her ability to convey emotion through studies in perspective, concealment, and mystery.

David-Jeremiah: I Drive Thee, a new series of works on wood panel that continues the artist's conceptual through-line of the Lamborghini automobile, likening this highly complex and grandiose piece of machinery to the male Black body as a symbolic site of masculinity, violence and potential. Through the meticulous arrangement of two motifs, the Human Collar Bone and the Orchid, David-Jeremiah has created eight uniformly sized tondo paintings that are each based on the design of a Lamborghini steering wheel. For this exhibition, David-Jeremiah draws upon the link between the luxury car brand and the history and brutality of Spanish bullfighting. Typically, each Lamborghini model is named after a bull breed or a fighting bull that has either defeated a matador in the ring or survived enough contests to retire.
