We are thrilled to announce The Balancing Act, the debut solo exhibition of emerging New York-based artist Joey Healey. A graduate of Brown University’s Class of 2024, Healey draws significant inspiration from his hometown, New York City.
Healey’s layered paintings explore time, memory, and transformation through abstraction, symbolism, and material experimentation. Drawing from graffiti, poetry, Abstract Expressionism, European Modernism, and ancient visual languages, his works create a personal dictionary that reflects the emotional and psychological complexity of contemporary life.

We are excited to invite you to the Independent Art Fair at Pier 36 from May 14–17.
This year, we are pleased to present works by Hannes Heinrich.
In Corner I–VII, Hannes Heinrich places focus on overlooked architectural elements such as the corners of his studio. What normally remains peripheral is brought into the spotlight. Beginning with frottages taken directly from these corners, the works explore folding, interruption, and the idea that there are always two possible ways to read a space.
Accompanying plaster sculptures extend these ideas into physical space through fractured architectural forms cast from corners in the artist’s home.
We look forward to welcoming you at Booth 511.

Join us next Friday, May 15, for Tribeca Gallery Night, when we will stay open until 8 PM.
These will be the final days of An Atom Drip from Your Lip by Matthias Bitzer, and one of your last chances to question whether what you see in front of you is real or not.

Sofia Sominski Gallery is delighted to present a new body of work by Hannes Heinrich at the Independent Art Fair in New York from May 14–17, at Booth 511.
Heinrich’s approach is abstract, yet rooted in very concrete objects, transforming them into impressions rather than function. His work focuses on urban spaces and architecture, and on their influence on our perception.
The paintings appear very light; however, they are layered with reflections of windows, shadows, handles, and movements in New York City, where the artist spent his residency last year.

“Let’s begin at the beginning...” to borrow Lewis Carroll’s timeless sentiment, this phrase has always embodied for me the spirit of renewal, possibility, and imagination.
A new beginning can happen anytime, anywhere... For us, the time is May 2026, and the where is Tribeca, New York…the beginning of Sofia Sominski Gallery.

Join us for an Artist Talk with Matthias Bitzer at our New York gallery, on the occasion of his first exhibition with the gallery.
The conversation will explore Bitzer’s practice, tracing its evolution over the years and offering insight into the ideas, processes, and references that shape his work. Expanding on themes of perception, participation, and transformation, the talk will deepen the experience of the works on view and the ways in which they activate the role of the viewer.

Join us tomorrow for an evening of letters and poetry at our New York Gallery.
This gathering is inspired by Vera Molnar’s series Lettres à ma mère, created between 1981 and 1990. For these works, the artist developed a computer program to simulate her mother’s handwriting.
For the evening, Jessica Cole will read poetry, accompanied by a reading of a letter to Vera Molnar by Sofia Sominsky.
Every beginning
is only a sequel, after all,
and the book of events
is always open halfway through.
Part of a poem by Wisława Szymborska.

Join us for the opening of our new exhibition, Atomic Drip from Your Lip, marking the first solo show with the gallery by German artist Matthias Bitzer.
What can I know? What should I do? What may I hope? What is the human being?
— Immanuel Kant
The works of Matthias Bitzer unfold like a visual puzzle: only from a distance do the individual, uniformly formatted artworks come together to form a larger whole. Spread across the wall like an explosion, they initially appear overwhelming, yet at the same time invite the viewer to come closer to read, to decipher, to understand.
After the first impression comes the attempt to decode the individual works, to read them. One searches for a beginning or a point of departure within the installation, across its entire surface. Are these memories? Quotations? Observations of current events? Or even historical events that have imprinted themselves on the collective memory? A bit of everything.
1% of Disorder | Vera Molnar and Harm van den Dorpel
On view until March 28 at 62 White Street.
Sharing a few thoughts from Vera Molnar that inspired the exhibition.
Visit us to see the show before it closes.
