In a recent interview with W Magazine, Hernan Bas discusses The Visitors, his latest exhibition in Venice, a body of work that turns a sharp eye toward contemporary tourism and the performance of cultural experience.

Across these paintings, Bas renders young male figures moving through global sites with a kind of detached entitlement—less travelers than intruders, or “visitors.” At once seductive and unsettling, the works examine how beauty, privilege, and desire complicate our moral reading of these scenes.

Balancing dark humor with unease, Bas reflects on image-making in an age where place becomes backdrop, and experience becomes content.

Crawling Lies, 2026

At the center of Signal Path, this painting pulses with rhythm—layered, vibrant, and meticulously composed. Luis Gispert translates sound into image, where concentric forms, looping lines, and saturated color operate like frequencies in motion. The work feels both engineered and improvised, echoing the visual language of audio systems, circuitry, and subcultural design.
Gispert’s practice continues to explore how identity, music, and material culture intersect—each element acting as a conduit for deeper narratives embedded within the surface.

Experience the color, texture and surfaces of Salvatore Las Rosa’s work. The final day to see the exhibition is Saturday March 28th.

“Now at Fredric Snitzer Gallery, there’s a rare exhibition of work by reclusive Miami-based artist Salvatore La Rosa (b. 1941, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania).  The title of the show, “Durational Works,” indicates the pieces have developed over quite some time, even decades.
They are worked and reworked until all the elements sing in harmony, in the unwritten score artists all have, creating a palimpsest of energy, and the traces of the artist’s hand in dialogic interaction with the object itself. In the context of Miami, a city often defined by novelty and spectacle, La Rosa’s practice occupies a markedly different position. His work advances slowly and deliberately, sometimes over the course of decades.  The process resembles a kind of personal alchemy—an unwritten recipe shaped by the influence of Joseph Cornell, Cy Twombly, Robert Rauschenberg, and Jackson Pollock—his four horsemen.”

Elena Dorfman, THE DREAM & THE LIE Screening at The Hammer Museum

🗓 Saturday, March 21, 2026
🕢 7:30 PM

Presented by the UCLA Film & Television Archive

An experimental feature built entirely from communist-era Albanian propaganda films—reimagined as a powerful triptych. Once tools of the state, these films are transformed to reveal something deeper: the tension between art and control, and the resilience of human creativity under censorship.

✨ Featuring an in-person Q&A with filmmaker Elena Dorfman + artist Ariel West

A rare, thought-provoking screening that explores how art survives—even in the most controlled environments.

Don’t miss Ema Ri’s beautifully poetic solo exhibition This Too Shall Pass at Locust Projects closing on April 4. The exhibition delves further into the intricate connections between the body, spirit, and the unseen forces of nature by introducing a new approach to Ema Ri’s multidisciplinary practice, incorporating large-scale video art alongside abstract wall drawings and sound art that’s inspired by the natural world. Ema Ri continues to utilize unconventional materials to map out their emotional landscape, weaving together metaphors of life, death, and transformation.

This Too Shall Pass is a Knight Digital Commission

For more than fifty years, Salvatore La Rosa has been engaged in a quiet, durational conversation with time. The featured images show Sal in the 1980s to present day holding the same painting. What is evident is that nothing is fixed. Every mark remains open to revision, accumulation, and reflection. A work that passes through decades of time in the artist’s hands breathes a multitude of lives along the way.

Salvatore La Rosa: Durational Works is currently on view at the gallery and has been extended until Saturday, March 28.

We’re proud to share that Hernan Bas has been featured in The Art Newspaper for his upcoming exhibition in Venice.

Opening 7 May at Ca’ Pesaro International Gallery of Modern Art, Hernan Bas: The Visitors brings together more than 30 new paintings in a powerful immersive installation addressing mass tourism.

Set in Venice — a city navigating the pressures of overtourism — the exhibition explores the performance of travel: staged encounters, borrowed identities and the spectacle of the selfie. Bas’s theatrical, psychologically charged compositions turn the tourist gaze back onto itself, asking what happens when cultural experience becomes consumption.

On view 7 May–30 August 2026.

We’re pleased to announce the representation of 𝗟𝗲𝗼 𝗖𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗮ñ𝗲𝗱𝗮 and 𝗘𝗱𝗶𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗣𝗲ñ𝗮𝗳𝗶𝗲𝗹.

Castañeda’s multidisciplinary practice merges video game design, immersive installation, painting, and mixed reality to explore speculative digital worlds shaped by Latin American Surrealism. His work will be included in the upcoming 2026 Whitney Biennial.

Peñafiel is an interdisciplinary artist whose work investigates migration, systems of power, and collective memory through immersive installations and materially driven textile compositions. His large-scale environments and autonomous works translate spatial experience into layered, embodied forms.

This announcement marks an important expansion of the gallery’s program and a deepened commitment to artists advancing innovative and interdisciplinary contemporary practices.
