Scroll is pleased to announce the representation of New York-based artist Daniel Um (b. 2001), coinciding with his first solo exhibition with the gallery, opening Thursday, April 30. Um’s practice explores everyday fragments and transforms them into fantastical situations or melancholic moments of isolation. This self-reporting exercise reflects his ideas, interests, and impulses, while also speaking to this quality. Similar to unfolding novels, Um’s paintings reveal narratives akin to those plucked from children’s picture books – portraying solitary beings in wondrous landscapes enthralled by their own reverie. The story is told through streams of consciousness, letting the rhythm of the emotions dictate the pace of the painting and employing techniques from his background in illustration to craft compelling visual stories. The process ultimately produces multiple layers of history and leaves trace of realization and regret – it is both additive and reductive. Countryside Manners opens Thursday, April 30 from 6-8pm.

Opening tonight at @uffnerliu 6-8PM Pleased to present two paintings in the summer group show “Solar Music / Lunar Revel” ”…Solar Music / Lunar Revel pulses with the rhythm of celestial cycles — dawn breaking into day, dusk dissolving into night, each transition marked by its own rituals, its own revelry. Through energy and stillness, clarity and enigma, expansion and retreat, the artists celebrate the sun and moon not as opposites, but as interconnected forces, illuminating the ways in which duality is intrinsic to existence itself.“ Gardener 72x60” Oil and pastel on canvas 2025 Thank you @lliuart @uffnerliu #UffnerLiu #DanielUm
