We are pleased to include paintings by Los Angeles-based artist Jonathan Ryan in our NADA Miami booth this week. Early in the artist’s practice, Ryan began experimenting with materials—first thick oil sticks and pastels, then more substantial materials like sand and dirt. “The dirt tracks mimicked the forms and landscapes I was interested in, formally, materially, and conceptually,” he says. “I also liked this translucent quality to the paving sand with a layer of oil on top and I kept using it, creating these modulated forms that have since taken on this shallow trompe l’oeil pictorial allusion. Building upon the topographical investigations in the vein of Richard Diebenkorn and Josef Albers, Ryan began adding to his material vocabulary through the use of granite onto the geometries of the abstraction, pressing it into the oil, then builds layers of depth through finely painted contours that give the works their particular pictorial vibration.

This painting will be up this weekend in Martha’s Vinyard with an extraordinary group of artists. I’m grateful for the opportunity and wish I could be there. More details below. @sliphouse__ Sailing off to Martha’s Vineyard with 𝑪𝒉𝒂𝒑𝒑𝒚. On view August 6-10 🌊 Perched on the outer edge of Edgartown, where ferry crossings dissolve into dirt roads and dune grass, 𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺 inhabits a traditional Cape-style carriage house overlooking the harbor—a quiet structure that holds, for just a moment, a collection of contemporary works that shimmer with tension, ambiguity, and light. Featuring over 20 artists, the exhibition marks Slip House’s debut presentation on Martha’s Vineyard.  𝘊𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺 takes its title from the place, but also the idea of a name softened by habit, history, and hush. Chappaquiddick is a site of lore and contradiction—at once idyllic and infamous. It holds the pastoral and the political in a single breath, where mist and scandal, moonlight and myth, coexist. The exhibition inhabits this friction, drawing out the gap between surface and story, appearance and undertow.

⁠LAST DAY: Today is the last day to see Jonathan Ryan's solo exhibition "Among Stars and Stone", on view in the gallery's Tribeca location through Saturday, June 7th.⁠ ⁠ Throughout each composition, Ryan’s investigation into the mutable, transformative nature of landscapes unfolds. The artist uses sand to model terrain that seems both natural and synthetic, layering the material across the canvas to evoke a tactile sense of depth and texture. The sand shapes the surface of the painting, creating a dynamic interplay between light and shadow that accentuates the fluidity of the landscape. “I treat the sand as a pigment with different transparencies and colors,” the artist shared in a recent interview. “There’s a natural but also an unnatural quality and my work has always been interested in human interventions to nature. Even if they seem like they’re from another planet, or some dream space because of the palette, they still feel rooted to the land.”⁠ ⁠ Gallery hours are 11am to 6pm. See you soon!⁠ ⁠ Image: ⁠Installation View, Jonathan Ryan: "Among Stars and Stone", HESSE FLATOW, New York. Courtesy of the artist and HESSE FLATOW, New York. Photo: Jenny Gorman.⁠

LAST WEEK: This is the last week to see Jonathan Ryan's solo exhibition "Among Stars and Stone", on view at the gallery's Tribeca location through June 7, 2025. ⁠ ⁠ In "Among Stars and Stone", Ryan evokes human presence not through figures, but through the altered landscapes, as if marked by an unseen hand. These transformed environments, remnants of ancient civilizations or visions of a distant future, unsettle and captivate. While calming palettes of earthy tones and jewel hues invite reflection, the skewed, desolate landscapes create a sense of a world in constant flux—ephemeral yet ever-evolving, slipping just beyond our reach.⁠ ⁠ Image: Jonathan Ryan, "Canyon", 2024, Oil, sand, and decomposed granite on canvas, 68 x 52 inches (172 x 132 cm).
