Raymond Saá is a Cuban-American artist whose abstract, process-driven work deconstructs and reconstructs natural elements, creating motifs that reflect his Cuban heritage and link organic forms with architectural structures. The two works on view evoke the sensation of a first breath of spring, crisp, invigorating, and full of promise.

🗞️ [Space On Space] “These Are a Few of My Favorite Things”
Highlights from Independent, May 14–17, 2026

"Dan Gunn’s forms are shaped birch wood pieces puzzled together and secured with nylon cord. The result is a strange hybrid between a sculpted 3D model of the object and a rendered 2D representation of its form."

Thank you to Macy West and Space on Space for featuring Pentimenti’s solo presentation of Dan Gunn’s work at Independent.

It feels like summer has begun, come and celebrate at Pentimenti. ☀️ We currently have a group exhibition on view, “When Spring Begins to Speak: Works From Our Collection (Part 2)”. This exhibition features gallery-represented artists, and this week we are highlighting the work of Judy Gelles.

🗓 Gallery Hours
Tuesday - Friday: 10 AM – 5 PM
Saturday: 12 PM – 5 PM

📍 145 North Second Street
Philadelphia, PA

This series of work stems from her father’s decision to buy a mobile home in Melbourne Beach, FL, to escape the icy New Hampshire winters. Her technique illuminates this community, embodying the dream of retirement, which for many is actually the end of the road.

🗞️ [OBSERVER] “Independent Opens With Solo Presentations, Early Sales and (Most Importantly) Breathing Room”

"On the same side of the fair, Philadelphia’s Pentimenti is presenting Dan Gunn’s intricately carved wooden “tapestries,” in which the vernacular of labor and rural Midwestern life is translated into draped plywood forms infused with Americana nostalgia.”

If you haven’t yet, stop by Pentimenti at Booth 503, we’d be happy to welcome you!

Saturday, May 16 | 11 AM – 7 PM.
Sunday, May 17 | 11 AM – 6 PM.

A sincere thank you to Elisa Carollo for her thoughtful writing on Pentimenti’s solo presentation of Dan Gunn.

Kiki Gaffney’s work reflects the cyclical rhythms of nature, balancing slow, meditative processes with the unpredictable forces of changing seasons, sun, and wind. Her practice explores how natural “architectures”, patterns that emerge without imposed order, can inform and shape the structures of human life.
