"Escalator to the Overlook" : Ryan Decker
​
In his first exhibition with the gallery, Ryan Decker is taking a hike. A walk on a winding trail wherein he deploys the materials of camping and the outdoors to transmute experiences from an adolescence spent experimenting in the Blue Ridge Mountains of the Appalachian Highlands. Escalator to the Overlook marks a change in the artist's practice, wherein Decker has moved from furniture design to fine arts, creating sculptural work on the border of figuration that translates the mechanisms of post-war machinery into an REI-infused fever dream..

"Kishka Soup" : Megan Bogonovich, Denver Ferguson, June Gutman, Lakea Shepard
​
Kishka is thrilled to return to Chinatown Soup for a pop-up exhibition of artwork by all four Kishka-represented artists. There is little in this world more elemental than soup. A warmed liquid amalgam, with ingredients borrowed from individual components to form a whole, richer than the sum of its parts. The exhibition, Kishka Soup, in collaboration with the extraordinary art space Chinatown Soup, includes artwork by Megan Bogonovich, Denver Ferguson, June Gutman, and Lakea Shepard.

"Lolo" : Jean Jullien
​
In his solo exhibition LOLO at Hashimoto Contemporary, the French artist Jean Jullien wonders if, despite being built by and for people, high-density apartment complexes and jammed subway cars are the best place for humans to live; And, if the alternatives of country living are as idyllic as they seem. With Jullien’s typical witty humor, this new series of paintings and site-specific drawings offer musings over the paradox between desiring a calm, peaceful life in the countryside while craving the nightlife and company of the city.

"The Spin of the Whirled" : Devon Marinac
​
Often in poignant and comical ways, Marinac uses art as a vehicle to understand his own life and the world around him through recycling and reimagining found materials. Being both influenced by and involved in the Canadian drawing movement, the artist finds merit and influence in the Funk art of the bay area, COBRA, genre fiction, and a multitude of twentieth-century writers. His artwork has been reviewed in the Comics Journal, published in BOMB Magazine, and exhibited throughout Canada and in New York City.

"Constellations" : Karen Tompkins
​
With glittering points of light and pulsing rays shooting across the canvas, Karen Tompkins’ new series, Constellations, evokes the grandeur of the stars and the mysterious depths of the night sky. As an artist who engages with the topic of astronomy and the constellations, Tompkins immediately situates herself within a long lineage of creative predecessors, such as Vincent Van Gogh, most recognized for capturing the drama of a starry night. However, the constellations have captured man’s imagination for millennia, beginning with cave artists in France and Germany. As Tompkins depicts the vastness of outer space with her art, the constellations continue to offer endless generative possibilities for her to explore.
