James Cohan is pleased to present Blooms Disrupted, an exhibition of new and recent work by Fred Tomaselli, on view from May 15 through June 27, 2026, at the gallery’s 48 Walker Street location. This is Tomaselli’s seventh solo exhibition with James Cohan. The gallery will host an opening reception with the artist on Friday, May 15 from 6-8PM.

For over forty years, Fred Tomaselli has invoked the power of nature through deftly constructed maximalist paintings and works on paper. Tomaselli’s singular painting approach fuses organic matter, photographic reproductions, and dense ornamentation into surfaces that seem to pulse with their own internal light. His work has always moved between registers: the microscopic and the cosmic, the botanical and the geometric, the careful study of the shape of nature and the vertigo of deep space.

Congratulations to Claudia Alarcón & Silät on their exhibition Living, Weaving, on view at MASP — Museu de Arte de São Paulo Assis Chateaubriand through August 2, 2026. This major survey brings together 25 works tracing the artistic production of Claudia Alarcón (La Puntana, Argentina, 1989) & Silät, a collective of more than one hundred Wichí women weavers. Curated by Adriano Pedrosa, Artistic Director, MASP, and Laura Cosendey, Assistant Curator, MASP, the exhibition marks the first presentation of the artist and the collective in a Brazilian museum.

Living, Weaving underscores an understanding of weaving as a continuous act—a practice that spans generations and is integrated into the movement of life itself. Preserving this practice is, in itself, an act of courage. Reinventing it is an act of boldness.

"If we imagine modern American visual culture as a body, then artist Trenton Doyle Hancock could be its surgeon, carefully excising its most malignant parts," writes Jessica Simmons-Reid () for Artforum in her review of the recent exhibition Draw Them In, Paint Them Out: Trenton Doyle Hancock Confronts Philip Guston, which closed last month at the Skirball Cultural Center in Los Angeles. Draw Them In, Paint Them Out was originally presented at The Jewish Museum in New York in 2024, and pairs the two trailblazing artists for the first time.

"The pairing of Guston’s and Hancock’s work ultimately reminded me of the fertile potential of this type of intimate, dialogic comparison, which, rather than transmitting predetermined conclusions, invites close looking as a rigorous act," Simmons-Reid concludes.
