Katia David Rosenthal Gallery

KDR is pleased to present a solo booth of new works by Eric Oglander at Booth B20 at NADA New York. The fair is located on the 3rd floor and on view from May 13-17. If you are in NYC this week, we hope to see you at the fair! #KDR212 #ericoglander @newartdealers 🎈 Driven by experimentation and craft, Eric Oglander creates intimately scaled minimalist sculptures that explore subtle optical and scientific phenomena. Using everyday materials like string, plywood, branches, metal, and found objects that unify and neutralize, rendering the newly formed objects into a coherent whole thought. The resulting works each possess an airiness and delicate quality. While most of his sculptures exist purely for their aesthetic value, some are capable of throwing small projectiles. The Trebuchets and Catapults pieces stem from Eric’s childhood fascination with medieval siege engines discovered while watching the History Channel. They now embody his mature artistic practice, balancing play, physics, and visual appeal through a lens of enduring childlike wonder. Oglander’s sculptures channel a contemporary sensibility while clearly looking back to the innovations of Giacometti, Calder, and Duchamp, merging their experimental approaches to form, movement, and concept into his own distinctive practice.

Don’t let the size fool you. The smallest work in “ECOS” holds the same cosmological weight as anything else in the room. Hovering low on the horizon, a setting sun with a swirling tropical sea with shark fins cutting through the current. A quiet nod to boat paintings by late Purvis Young. The smallest painting in the show and somehow one of the hardest to walk away from. ECOS on view through May 23rd. 🌴🦈 Gallery Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 11AM -5PM @alejandropineirobello #alejandropineirobello Images by: @gayaman_photo

“La Tormenta”, a title earned by every inch of the canvas, a turbulent, dreamlike seascape rendered in a palette of deep blues. A collision of sky and sea, where the boundary between atmosphere and water dissolves entirely. Swirling, biomorphic clouds form, alive with eye-like features, gazing out from the storm. A mythic quality appears almost out of an ancient cosmology. A lone figure floats on the open water, tiny against the overwhelming elemental forces surrounding them. And yet, in that smallness, there is resilience: to exist inside the storm is its own kind of triumph.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ “Ecos” is on view thru May 23rd, Gallery Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 11-5pm Alejandro Piñeiro Bello La Tormenta, 2026 Oil on linen 23 x 29 in. 58.42 x 73.66 cm 23 x 29½ x 1¾ in.

See you in Austin next week!!! KDR is thrilled to participate at Friend’s Fair in Austin, Texas, with a presentation of new works by Johnny DeFeo, Kevin Sabo, and Jeff Wigman. Our room will frame each artist’s work as a way of building imagined worlds— paintings that feel familiar at first glance, yet unfold into idealized spaces and figures that exist more in the mind than in reality. @johnnycakesdefeo @kevin__sabo @jeffwigman @friendsfair.art May 7-9, 2026 The Loren Hotel at Ladybird Lake | Room 217 1211 Riverside Dr. Austin, TX 78704 VIP Opening Preview (by invitation only) Thursday, May 7, 5-9pm Open to the Public (link in bio to RSVP, admission is free!) Friday, May 8, 12-7pm Saturday, May 9, 12-6pm

“Aves Del Paraíso“ is a lush, energetic composition that feels simultaneously mythic and dreamlike. The painting is densely layered with movement, birds of various sizes swirl through a turbulent sky that bleeds between sage green, deep blues, warm terracottas, burnt oranges, and acid yellows. The upper register is dominated by a sweeping yellow form almost like a wave or a giant wingspan that arcs across the picture plane, ominous yet protective, anchoring the visual chaos below. Birds mid-flight collide, dive, and overlap. At times Paradise is something wild and overwhelming rather than always serene.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Alejandro Piñeiro Bello Aves Del Paraíso, 2026 Oil on linen 23 x 29 in. 58.42 x 73.66 cm 23 x 29½ x 1¾ in.

Thick, slow strokes made with a wide brush form undulating surfaces that echo the grandeur of watercolor, while shorter dashes conjure a fleeting, sunsetting sky, direct and gestural. In ECOS, mysticism and romance grow through color, form, and history, creating images that refuse to stay still. They arrive from elsewhere, surface slowly into form, then reverberate outward — like waves, like songs, like echoes.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ Ecos is on view at KDR thru May 23rd.

…the hours pass calmly, skirting the plateaus, moving from one channel to another, through small labyrinths of gentle waters that, suddenly, make us turn our backs to the sun, only to receive it head-on… This is how “El Abrazo del Mar” (The Embrace of the Sea) was born, one of the largest paintings in the presentation. Carpentier’s text, an indispensable reference for understanding the Caribbean; opened the door to a picture in which I was able to overflow into a kind of visual poetry, where the only things recognizable as figurative are the horizon, the figure that appears, and perhaps the sun illuminating the landscape. It is in truth a more abstract than figurative painting: an energetic transposition of that already poetic text into an image made of curvilinear lines, distortions of form, sensations of water, blurred islands, and a sky entirely decomposed in color and form. That sky is built through a counterpoint of brushstrokes in the manner of points and broken half-marks descending from top to bottom; deconstructing dioxazine purples, passing through French ultramarine blue, sinking into turquoises, and finally releasing a haze of veiling whites that descend almost to the horizon in shades of pink, mauve, and royal blue.

A flock of birds take flight from a paradisiacal landscape in Adiós a Cuba (Farewell to Cuba). A place so beautiful it seems condemned to be coveted, violated, and taken. The painting carries the weight of its title: a piano composition by Ignacio Cervantes, written in 1875 upon his forced exile from the island. Piñeiro Bello does not mourn Cuba. Instead, he meditates on its recurring cycles of ruin and splendor, an island so exquisitely itself that history has found it impossible to leave alone. The birds, elongated and spectral, carry the echoes of all who have had to abandon their homes. Among them, perhaps Wifredo Lam, who in his own paintings rendered himself as a tall, ethereal bird.

Last Saturday reminded me exactly why I started this gallery in the first place. It was electric — full of the people who make KDR what it truly is. To our artists, whose trust, vision, and courage are the heartbeat of everything we do — none of this exists without you. To our collectors, who have opened their homes and hearts to the work we believe in so deeply — thank you for making it real. To our family, who have believed in this dream from the very beginning and shown up in every way imaginable. And to our friends, who have championed us, spread the word, and filled these walls with so much love. Five years ago I took a leap. After many years in the gallery world, I decided to bet on myself and on the power of art, with little roadmap and no idea what this could become. I just knew it had to exist. What it has grown into still takes my breath away. Five years of art, community, and connection. We are just getting started. And none of it would be possible without the dream team behind the scenes. To David Marsh and his crew, who install every exhibition with such precision and care, you make the impossible look effortless. To Rodrigo Gaya, who captures every moment and every show with such beauty and soul, you are a gift. And to Eva and our newest addition Ceara, who keep everything running behind the scenes with grace and dedication (didn’t even know we ran out of cups! 🤣) I am endlessly grateful for you both. @flowerboxforever @gayaman_photo @evaluciahaber @ceara_davis A special thank you to Andrés Levín and his Funk Machine for absolutely bringing the house down, you set the night on fire. To Andrés for the incredible mixology that kept the energy flowing. And to Stillz, whose collaboration with Alejandro on that short film was nothing short of surreal and magical, we are so grateful and so thrilled. @levinandres @stillz @liquorsmith_ Lastly, to my brotha Alejandro, I love you. Thank you for a beautiful exhibition to celebrate this momentous time for you and for us. 💕 @alejandropineirobello Here’s to everything still to come. 🥂 With so much love and gratitude, Katia & the KDR Team

ECOS, a solo exhibition of new paintings by Havana-born, Miami-based artist Alejandro Piñeiro Bello is now on view through May 23rd. Gallery Hours: Tuesday-Saturday 11AM -5PM - The exhibition draws on Cuban anthropologist Antonio Benítez Rojo’s vision of the Caribbean as a repeating island, a place that cycles through history not only in tragedy but in an almost cosmological rhythm. Piñeiro Bello moves through this sea of accumulated images like an oracle rather than an archivist, selecting and arranging rather than cataloguing and explaining. His paintings do not illustrate the Caribbean; they reverberate it. Iridescent greens, purples, turquoises, and mauves settle into natural linen. From that friction, color against weave and pigment against time, landscapes emerge that are at once remembered, imagined, and entirely unknown. - @alejandropineirobello #alejandropineirobello Images by: @gayaman_photo
