Patrick Walsh’s intimate ink on panel paintings emerge through accumulations of small square gestures that merge meticulous repetition with improvisational image making. Without a proper studio for the first time in many years, Walsh began working at his family’s dinner table after moving back across the country to help care for his parents. Using wood panels and his father’s office pens, the works developed slowly through sustained acts of drawing that function simultaneously as image, meditation, and record of passing time. Recalling the doodles his mother taught him to make as a child, the paintings oscillate between abstraction and atmosphere, visual noise and moments of monastic stillness. Though labor intensive, the surfaces retain an immediacy that feels both raw and contemplative. Together, Rocklen and Walsh construct a dialogue between surface and depth, structure and improvisation, memory and material transformation. Though working through radically different visual languages, both artists approach repetition as a way of slowing perception and reorienting attention toward the emotional and psychological residue embedded within ordinary objects, gestures, and accumulated marks.

Jupiter is pleased to present a focused presentation of new work by Ry Rocklen, in dialogue with paintings by Patrick Walsh, both based in Los Angeles, at Independent New York 2026. While formally distinct, both artists engage processes of accumulation, repetition, and transformation to examine memory, perception, and contemporary material life. Through ceramics, sculpture, and densely worked ink paintings, the presentation brings together two practices that oscillate between humor and psychic intensity, objecthood and illusion, immediacy and duration.

Gerasimos Floratos (b. 1986) is a first-generation Greek-American and native New Yorker who grew up quite literally at the center of the city in Times Square where he continues to keep a studio. The vibrant dynamism of this milieu is evident in Floratos’s paintings and sculptures, where he draws from the constant yet ever-changing nature of his surroundings to create pictorial abstractions populated by what the artist calls “characters.” Through these amorphous figures—formed from tropes of the city’s denizens—Floratos examines the psycho-spatial architecture of a globalized world from a highly localized perspective. Floratos’s paintings are known for their vivid palette and assertive brushstrokes layered on top of collaged elements and richly textured canvases.

We are pleased to share that Mystic Taxi, our exhibition with George Clinton and Gerasimos Floratos, has been extended through February 28, 2026. Rooted in a “grimy sublime” where the everyday collides with the cosmic, the show brings together painting and sculpture in a charged dialogue between vibration and form. Clinton and Floratos move fluidly between figuration and abstraction, coaxing something immaterial from pigment and material, transforming common objects and gestures into sites of energy, refuge, and reinvention. The works don’t offer answers so much as invite you into the ride, asking viewers to feel their way through funk, memory, and sensation, and to discover meaning in motion rather than conclusion.
