Thank you Zoé (and Allek) for everything, and to everyone who came out for the opening.

The best of times installing in the chapel in Lund, the opening, wandering rolling hills, visiting ancient stone circles, swimming in the sea, and eating crayfish in late-summer Österlen.

Zoé Blue M., Garden continues through September 26.

LOYAL is pleased to present Garden, Zoé Blue M.’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Welcome to the opening reception with the artist Thursday, August 20, 5–7 pm

GARDEN
Zoé Blue M
August 20–September 26, 2026

LOYAL Chapel, Lund, Sweden

Opening reception Thursday, August 20, 5–7 pm

Zoé Blue M.’s practice explores memory, cultural hybridity, historical narrative, and the complexities of identity through vivid, immersive visual worlds. Drawing from her French, Japanese and West Coast American heritage, her paintings bring together references ranging from ukiyo-e prints and Noh theater to anime, manga, and contemporary popular culture, while examining the psychological and emotional dimensions of femininity, adolescence, and family history.

In Garden, relationships remain central. Figures move through worlds that seem to be continually shifting around them. They run, swing, take aim, look back, and hold onto one another. Birds cross overhead, water ripples beneath their feet, foliage creeps into the edges of the frame, while mirrors and openings offer partial views into spaces beyond. Intimacy and play persist throughout, alongside a sense of uncertainty and unsettlement.

Zoé Blue M. (b. 1994, Toulon, France) is a Japanese-American artist raised in Los Angeles, where she lives and works. She received her MFA from the University of California, Los Angeles in 2023 and her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 2019. She has presented solo exhibitions at Jeffrey Deitch (New York), LOYAL (Stockholm), Page NYC (New York), Anat Ebgi (Los Angeles), Gallery @ El Centro (Los Angeles), and In Lieu (Los Angeles), among others.

Installation views from ”Clear and Present Ding D**g”, Jim Thorell’s fifth solo exhibition with LOYAL.

On view through July 25.

Summer hours:
Wednesday-Friday
12-3 pm

A ding d**g is a bell. A ding d**g is also a fool.

The phrase “clear and present” usually precedes the word danger. A warning. Here it precedes neither. 

The paintings do not appear concerned. They behave like paintings that have been somewhere and come back with information.

The paintings appear, if anything, delighted.

CLEAR AND PRESENT DING D**G
Jim Thorell
June 18–July 25, 2026

Opening reception with the artist
Thursday, June 18
5–7 pm

LOYAL is pleased to present Clear and Present Ding D**g, Jim Thorell’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery.

A ding d**g is a bell. A ding d**g is also a fool.

A ding d**g is someone capable of hearing one.

The paintings make no attempt to resolve this.

They behave like paintings that have been somewhere and come back with information.

There are flowers in them, sort of. There are branches, sort of. There are patterns that start out decorative and then halfway across the canvas seem to remember they used to be weather.

This is familiar territory for Thorell, who has spent years painting systems: root systems, wind systems, tidal systems, the quiet machinery that runs the world without asking for credit. The paintings no longer study one system at a time. They behave as though all systems were one conversation, and they have found a seat in it.

The phrase “clear and present” usually precedes the word danger. A warning. Here it precedes neither.

The paintings do not appear concerned.

The paintings appear, if anything, delighted.

Last two days to see Madeleine Bialke’s exhibition in person. The paintings share the room with stained glass and hundred year old friezes and the light keeps changing on both. Through tomorrow. Fri 12-5. Sat 12-3 ☀️🧡

One of the things Madeleine Bialke does so well is compress extraordinary complexity into forms that feel immediate and intuitive without sacrificing their underlying richness.

Like Goodbye
2026
Oil on canvas
76 x 66 cm (30 x 26 in)

In Like Goodbye, trees, light, atmosphere, and memory are distilled into a visual language of interconnected forms that seem to pulse across the surface of the painting. Light appears to originate from within the image itself, while color carries sensation as much as description. The landscape is not presented as a fixed place so much as a network of relationships, where each form exists in conversation with those around it.

In Bialke’s work complex natural systems are reduced reorganized into highly distilled forms that remain strangely alive, allowing the emotional and structural possibilities of landscape painting to coexist within a single image.



On view in A Far Cry at LOYAL through June 13.

Installation views from A Far Cry, Madeleine Bialke’s solo exhibition at LOYAL.

In these new paintings, Bialke compresses the rhythms in foliage, sky, water, and light into rounded tubular forms that approach the logic of constructed systems while translating the complexity of their organic forms . Revisiting the formative landscape of the Adirondacks through distance, memory, and what she describes as “memory watching,” the paintings channel the sensation, structure and quality of being in a place.

On view through June 13 ✨💛💦✨🍡✨
