Marielle Plaisir: RHAPSODY FOR A BELOVED WORLD 🗓️ Exhibition Dates: May 15, 2026 - July 19, 2026. 🥂 Reception with the artist May 20th, 2026 from 5PM - 7PM @tfaadvisory ⏰ RSVP & request a preview: [email protected] or send us a DM! Marielle Plaisir is a multimedia artist who has been exploring the concepts of domination and supremacy for many years. While a painter first, with this affinity, she considers herself an activist artist. In her practice, it is important to find and use the most effective medium to intervene and distill or convey my narrative content. Plaisir's artworks resists harmful histories and offers hope for a better future, drawing attention to the interconnections between humans, the universality of fractured identities, and the power of recognizing and depicting inner worlds. Through her multifaceted and interdisciplinary translation, she defines acts of domination as a major role in the reproduction of social relationships at the heart of globalization.

David Yarrow (British, born 1966) I The Jerome, 2026 I Archival Pigment Print I 52” x 70” I Edition of 12 . To inquire about this or other available works by the artist send us a DM or an email at [email protected] 📩 . The raw and imposing facade of the Jerome Hotel has lorded over Aspen since the 1880s. Its size and ornate brickwork remind us that Victorian architectural ambition extended beyond New York and Chicago, reaching even remote mining communities 8,000 feet up in the Rockies. The Jerome has witnessed much change in Aspen over 140 years: a tough blue- collar community evolved into a modest winter sports destination welcoming hipsters and artists as well as cowboy capitalists. Aspen then, of course, slowly grew into its role as the world’s most celebrated ski resort. It has lived more lives than most communities ever will. The Jerome’s story is unique and it will no doubt continue to hold court long after we are all gone. It is the one historical constant the town can boast of, having hosted every conceivable archetype over its long life. The hotel chooses not to judge, but if the room walls could talk, there would be a large volume of stories to come from behind that grand brickwork facade. My homage to the grandness of the Jerome demanded compositional balance and good spatial sensitivity. I knew my shooting position and for this to work I needed the help of the Aspen police department who have always been a joy to deal with. We brought one of the world’s most expensive cars - the Ferrari 250 GTO - onto the set. That immediately allowed me to tell a bohemian story and in Kate Bock and Brooks Nader we had the talent to embrace the vibe. My goal was to take an original photograph that Aspenites could smile at and in so doing celebrate one of the most historic hotels in America. I think we achieved that and there is a pleasing amount of detail in the window reflections. It’s always in the small detail. There is nowhere quite like The Jerome.

To inquire about these or other available works by the artist send us a DM or an email at [email protected] 📩 . “I started as a figurative painter and found myself interested in philosophy, abstraction, and spiritual concerns. I was attracted to the inner power of forms and how they make a conversation layered with energy and emotional experiences. I have developed a personal vocabulary through layers and layers of drawing, painting, scribbling, tracing, rewriting, constantly adding dimensions, and shaping pieces. This new alphabet speaks of the forever growing ‘thread of existence.’ My work often comes out of chaos, revealing a specific personal order that feels very right to me.” . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #art #contemporaryart #artconsulting #artadvisory #arthistory

Jiha Moon I Yellow Haetae (Drink with me), 2025, Stoneware, earthenware, glaze, underglaze, 19” x 12” × 11” . The Haetae series is an ongoing body of work based on a mythological beast from 19th-century Korea. This creature excites me because of its From Jiha about the piece : “This sculpture embodies magical beings rooted in Korean folklore, international storytelling, and even the pets that share our everyday lives. I am drawn to reimagining these everyday influences into something powerful — creatures that blur the boundaries between the mythical and the mundane. I imagine, for example, the Korean mythological!creature Haetae as both a fierce guardian and something as familiar as a pet dog.” @thebechtler @moonjiha @mindysolomongallery

Mario Moore I MORTGAGE BURNING, 2025 I Oil on linen I 48” x 48” . To inquire about this or other available works by the artist send us a DM or an email at [email protected] 📩 . What does it mean to claim a place, to cross the threshold and call it yours? For many Americans now in their twenties and thirties, the notion of owning a home hovers at the edge of fiction, eroded by wage stagnation, student-loan debt, and a housing market whose prices soar faster than salaries. For Black Americans, that dream has never been simply economic; it is shadowed by a long history of state- sanctioned exclusion from the redlining maps of the 1930s to the subprime lending traps of the 2000s that deliberately severed Black families from this primary engine of generational wealth. Mario Moore situates this fraught terrain at the center of In Pursuit of Home. Through meticulously rendered paintings, graphite drawings, and bronze sculptures, Moore probes the architecture, literal and symbolic, that dictates who is granted stability and who must improvise it. Domestic interiors flicker between sanctuary and surveillance; verdant backyards become contested ground; figures at rest appear both protected and precarious, their ease hard-won. The artist’s Detroit roots surface in layered references to labor and land.

Maja Godlewska | Pink and Shrouded, 2026 I Mixed-media on canvas I 72 x 60” . To inquire about this or other available works by the artist send us a DM or an email at [email protected] 📩 . “Major concerns of my creative work have centered on the relationship between humans and nature. There has been a constant back-and-forth fluctuation in my focus: from human presence in the environment and our venturing into the wild, to nature re-entering the structures, places, and artifacts that we humans create. Concepts of transformation, growth and loss, form and formlessness, explored through travel and in situ investigation, have been crucial to my practice as an artist. In this body of mixed-media work, nature is paying us humans a visit. A sublime yet vulnerable tiger inhabits Baroque frescoes alongside the modest but resilient tardigrade. Fungus covers decorative stucco ornaments, and time slowly dissolves what we humans call beauty.”

Hunt Slonem I Three Squirrel Monkeys, 2026 I Oil on Canvas I 30 x 40 . To inquire about this or other available works by the artist send us a DM or an email at [email protected] 📩 . Artist and collector Hunt Slonem is best known for huge Neo-Expressionist oil paintings populated with rows of birds, bunnies, and butterflies, which he renders in thick, lavishly colored brushstrokes. Taking his cues from Andy Warhol’s Pop art seriality, the artist uses repetition as a form of creative meditation which unlocks subconscious sentiment. The son of a naval officer, Slonem honed his craft at Tulane University in New Orleans and, later, at the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, where he was exposed to artists including Alice Neel and Alex Katz. Today, his work sells for six figures on the secondary market and can be found in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Bahrain National Museum, and the Guilin Art Museum, among other institutions. Slonem also paints portraits, particularly of Abraham Lincoln, Queen Elizabeth and creates prints and sculptures. . . . . . . . . . . . . . #huntslonem #painting #art #contemporaryart #whenartmeetsdesign
