Cecilia’s inclusion celebrates her distinctive voice in contemporary painting, defined by a symbolic and emotional exploration of the body, intimacy, and memory.

At the gallery, we’ve had the pleasure of working with Cecilia on two occasions, including the group exhibition Todo este tiempo, toda esta pintura, where her work Árbol (2025) is currently on view until December. We’re also thrilled to announce that in 2026 we’ll present her first solo exhibition at our space.

(b. 1985, Tallinn) is an Estonian painter whose work centers on color, light, text, and space—paintings that often take the form of site-specific installations. For Kongi, painting is a way of documenting spaces and objects of personal significance, capturing time and emotional memory through vivid chromatic perception. Her works invite viewers to experience the color and light of moments that have passed yet continue to resonate.

Now on view: “Figure it Out: Lucía Vidales Selects” at the Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art ( ).

Curated by , the exhibition takes her monumental charcoal mural Hambre—originally commissioned for the Museum’s Atrium Project (2024–25)—as a starting point to revisit the figure in contemporary art.

Through a selection of works from the Kemper Museum’s Collection (1935–2023), Vidales brings together paintings, drawings, photographs, and prints that expand on the mural’s gestures, exploring how the human and non-human figure can be reimagined within and beyond the picture plane.

Featuring artists such as Romare Bearden, Judy Chicago, Nan Goldin, David Hockney, Paula Rego, Wayne Thiebaud, Andy Warhol, and more, Figure it Out reflects on the shifting ways we see, compose, and embody images today.

On view through January 11, 2026.

Come visit “Todo este tiempo, toda esta pintura”, the group show celebrating 11 years of the gallery.
Open Tuesday to Friday, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. and 4 p.m. – 7 p.m.; Saturday, 11 a.m. – 3 p.m.

“All This Time, All This Painting” revisits and celebrates the construction of a program focused on the multiple possibilities of contemporary painting. Here, material, gestural, conceptual, figurative, and abstract works coexist, marked by both intuitive and process-driven approaches that reveal an ongoing investigation of surface, support, image, and symbolic power.

The intersection of geographies and languages forms the core of this exhibition, where overlapping temporalities and aesthetic affinities unfold without aiming for a totalizing narrative. With a touch of nostalgia that acknowledges the path traveled, this exhibition projects an open, vital, and energetic vision of painting as a space still fertile for experimentation. This project is also an affirmation: painting — despite, or precisely because of, its charged history — remains a place from which to think, challenge, and transform the contemporary.

On view until December 2025.

Happy to announce that “Señora Lapislázuli 1” by has been acquired by the San Antonio Museum of Art.
This work was originally presented in May 2025 as part of the solo exhibition ‘Señora Lapislázuli’ in our Project Room.

“First large-format work (the only one on a black support) created for the exhibition titled ‘Lady Lapislazuli’ at Galería Karen Huber.
It is a composition of three sections in ascending vertical order. The first, at the bottom and largest in area, shows the world and its dynamic and metamorphic condition around a deer (a symbolic animal associated with mystical virtue) that participates and feeds on that world and is at the same time separated from it in a frame. The middle and upper parts of the composition have a transcendent and portentous tone. First, a night sky with stars and birds over which a majestic feminine figure appears. Finally, and above, another convex sky crowned with serpentine lines. These three hierarchical and differentiated levels are unified by the same darkness and the same light, a paradox that fuses and divides the perishable and the inextinguishable.”
