We are excited to be working with @lisasanditz on the co-curation of a group exhibition opening across both of our London galleries this summer.
Bringing together an intergenerational selection of artists whose lives and practices are anchored along the rail artery running through the United States from Washington D.C. to Boston, the exhibition will map this diverse yet interconnected terrain of artistic production.
Tracing the cultural and geographic span of this route, the exhibition will consider place as both infrastructure and metaphor - an evolving passage that has carried, and continues to carry, some of the most distinctive artistic voices in American art today.
Stay tuned for more details…

Evergreen implies the idea of perpetual youth, freshness, idealism. It is used in terms of projects, art, sustainability, or otherwise as something that happens repeatedly/annually. It is of course trees. It is a color. It is a recurrence, whether one desires it or not, like cancer or right-wing politics. Evergreen is the name of the shipping giant whose container ship was stuck in the Suez Canal, blocking cargo for days. 🌲🌲🌲 Text from my artist statement for my show, Evergreen, at Huxley-Parlour Gallery, London, UK, in 2023. The painting considers the container ship wedged in the Suez Canal in 2021. Shipping routes on our minds. Bloated greed is evergreen, but it doesn’t have to be. 🌲🚢🌲Evergreen, oil on canvas, 42x54, 2023.🌲

It’s cold outside and we all have the BB Bowl on the brain. We can dream about summer months- when the ICE melts and the Milkweed is in bloom. I’ve been studying a drawing and hanging out with North American native flowers. See them all at my online show, “Swamp Thistle,” from 2/4-18 @philipmartingallery . DM Him or me for price and availability. Milkweed (Common), watercolor and colored pencil on paper, 16x20, 2026. 💙
Lisa Sanditz’s works-on-paper invite the viewer to consider the subject of the picture and its unexpected possibilities. Begun on site; finished in her studio, Sanditz’s works - as one critic pointed out - strike the middle ground between poetry and long form.
"For years the landscape has been a place for me to consider cultural and ecological histories through endless formal discoveries. These days, as I paint on site or reinterpret locations back in the studio, every gesture seems to shift from exploration to commemoration and consideration. I bring that visual, narrative, experiential data back to the studio in photos, sketches, and memories. Then I try to make a painting by synthesizing the information and carrying out formal decisions that address the site I am thinking about. The painting builds out of this information, but it also reacts to what’s happening visually on the canvas."
Lisa Sanditz's exhibition, "Swamp Thistle," runs February 4 - 18, 2026.
