It’s the Small Things: Tom Warren at the Abaton Project Room

1 week ago | whitehotmagazine.com | John Drury

By JOHN DRURY June 20, 2025The act of collection, has informed the work of many artists. It is in fevered accumulation – dare I say, a fetishization – that reverence for places and things are in minutia and numbers, allowed voice in commonality through the camera lens of Tom Warren.

By EKIN ERKAN March 17, 2025When the Georgian artist, Rusudan Petviashvili (born in Tblisi on January 25, 1968), exhibited her work at Paris at the green age of twelve, Pablo Picasso lauded her works as “genius”. Legend has it that she had started painting at one and a half years old, exacting reems of works on paper, and had her first exhibition at age six.

By LITA BARRIE June 10, 2025 Women’s art often has an obsessive quality. Darkness and Light is an expansive exhibition that shows how obsession can drive creativity: shaping artistic vision by providing an unwavering focus on high-level techniques for building upon meticulous details, repetitive patterns and creating spatial depth from layers of overlapping and interacting textures.

2 weeks ago | whitehotmagazine.com | Donald Kuspit

By DONALD KUSPIT June 9, 2025Robert Zeller, a master of figurative painting and a Surrealism-inspired painter, has curated an exhibition of contemporary Surrealist painting for Robilant + Voena, a gallery known for exhibiting the works of Caravaggesque artists. Caravaggio’s realism has been said to be surreal by reason of its tenebrism, extreme contrasts of light and dark, implicitly the conscious and the unconscious, going back to Plato’s myth of the cave.
Rob Strati Tells us About His Recent Work and New Exhibition

3 weeks ago | whitehotmagazine.com | Noah Becker

By NOAH BECKER June 3, 2025 I met Rob Strati a few years ago after being immediately drawn to the unique sensibility of his work—delicate yet bold, abstract yet deeply personal - with the odd yet satisfying use of broken plates. There was something about the way he approached material, the historical aspect, and form that stayed with me.
"Carnival" Curated by Joe Coleman now up at Jeffrey Deitch

1 month ago | whitehotmagazine.com | Anthony Haden-Guest

By ANTHONY HADEN-GUEST May 24, 2025I’ve always admired Joe Coleman’s beady-eyed hyperrealist paintings, which can take him years to do and radiate the feral energy which made him Charles Manson’s favorite artist. He also performs. In a Downtown theater space, the Hotel Amazon, in the 1980s I saw him stride onstage, and bite the heads off several mice. He then applied a lighter to whatever was bulking-up his chest and blew himself up.

1 month ago | whitehotmagazine.com | John Drury

By JOHN DRURY May 26, 2025 Downtown was once peppered with these places – these not-for-profits, in addition ABC No Rio – Jeanette Ingberman and Papo Colo’s great EXIT ART (1982-2012; bringing many now established makers to light) and the decade long run of the Thread Waxing Space (1991-2001), to name but a few; venues generally begun by artists, for artists, serving first, an unrestricted creativity; that not merely catering to desperate sales and the deep pockets of collectors, as granted...

1 month ago | whitehotmagazine.com | J. Scott Orr |Scott Orr

By J. SCOTT ORR May 27, 2025Vincent Valdez, the 48-year-old Chicano artist whose canvases read like visual testimony from America's shadow zones, is stepping up at precisely the moment when artists across the nation are ducking for cover. As culture wars rage and dark powers threaten artistic freedom, Valdez offers monumental paintings that refuse to let America forget its most uncomfortable truths.

Pa:nStori Production Thinks New York Needs a New Immersive Experience

1 month ago | whitehotmagazine.com | Anna Mikaela Ekstrand

By ANNA MIKAELA EKSTRAND May 24, 2025As I connect with Soo Young Choi over the phone, I hear a siren on her end, and one on my end—”where are you right now?” I cut her off mid-introduction. “In Midtown,” she responds. I tell her I am in the Lower East Side. We laugh, both having thought for a split second that we might be on the same block. Such is the power of our senses, having the potential to create a shared experience across geographic boundaries.
