Altman Siegel is proud to present "Casual Time," an exhibition featuring Rodolfo Abularach, Xiaochi D**g, Victoria Gitman, Kim Tschang-Yeul, and Alexandre Zhu. Using closely cropped, tightly considered compositions, these works showcase the power of precision, in both form and subject, to describe the range of human emotion and experience. Through reduced, distilled, narrative slices, these works conjure an entire universe of feeling, pushing representational painting to its apex. This exhibition also marks the first occasion Xiaochi D**g and Alexandre Zhu’s work will be presented in the United States.

Opening Reception: Saturday, August 2, 2025, 6–8pm
On View: July 25, 2025 - August 29, 2025
1150 25th Street, San Francisco, CA

Altman Siegel is delighted to present Stephen Pace’s second exhibition with the gallery, "Nudes & Birds." Join us for an opening reception on Saturday, June 7, 2025 from 6-8pm.

"Nudes & Birds" focuses on two subjects that enraptured and inspired Pace throughout his long career. Pace immediately took a shine to drawing as a teenager when his mother dropped him off at a local art class in Indiana where a n**e model was posing for students. Pace cheekily recalled noting: this was for him. His passion for these subjects is evident in the sensuousness and ease of which he conjures these forms. Refreshingly jocular, Pace’s confident brushwork and inventive palette communicates the pleasure he gleaned from making this work as much as the narrative elements in the compositions do.

He was honored alongside acclaimed filmmaker Cheryl Dunye at the fourth annual benefit, which highlights BAMPFA’s unique commitment to both art and film.

Thank you to BAMPFA for a truly special evening. Proceeds from the event support the museum’s wide-ranging mission, with a special emphasis on student engagement programs.

Don’t miss “Montage,” a solo exhibition by Rafael Delacruz during First Saturday at Minnesota Street Project. Our Dogpatch gallery will be open until 8pm tonight, May 3.

In both Delacruz’s paintings and video, the impact of Brenez’s texts on plasticity and figural analysis in cinema is evident. Bodies morph into unfamiliar formal elements according to the artist’s unconventional interior logic. Figures are redefined and distilled from individual characters to motifs, energetic shapes, and so on. Delacruz consistently manipulates iconoclastic forms, stretching them to the limit of legibility to create wholly original, atmospheric environments through paint.

“Montage” by Rafael Delacruz will be on-view through May 31.

Alex Olson's exhibition, "Letters," opens tomorrow for our the last show at our Presidio Heights pop-up gallery. Join us for the opening reception tomorrow, May 1, 6-8pm.

"I wanted to make something small and intimate, and initially private. These gouaches resemble my paintings in that their building blocks are brushstrokes and indexical marks, and they take the idea of the brushstroke as being akin to a letter of an alphabet; however they take it a bit further, more explicitly mixing marks resembling script with gestures more associated with painting. They are conceptually composed like letters to someone, with an emphasis on the performativity of language. In other words, these “letters” perform their messages rather than spell them out, but use the same means as written words, namely basic marks and gestures."

- Alex Olson

"Letters" will be on view May 1 - 24, 2025.

Closing today: Last chance to view Will Rogan's solo exhibition, "Night holds all your heart," at our Presidio Heights location.

“What is most important is that I am not building something I already see, the work is about discovery for me, and learning. There is a lot of following intuition in this process, and a lot of back and forth between the material and my will. Wood is great for pushing back, it does not want to be made into certain shapes, its grain resists my pursuit and asserts itself like it or not. In the end I do not think that they are about something but are more a record of this process.” -Will Rogan

Altman Siegel is delighted to present a new exhibition of paintings and works on paper by Alex Olson on view from May 1 – May 24, 2025, marking the final show at our Presidio Heights location.

The suite of gouaches on view here is part of a series Olson began during her first trimester of pregnancy, when the toxicity of oil painting necessitated a change in medium. Perhaps subconsciously influenced by this state of bodily transformation, these intimately-scaled works demonstrate a particular lightness and buoyancy. Shades of spring green, bubblegum pink, and yolk yellow intermingle with more earthy, tertiary tones of mud, moss, and algae. Olson's brushwork functions as both an object, image, and calligraphic marks. While Olson’s practice has consistently engaged with notions around the indexicality of mark-making, these paintings on paper can be read as letters. Each stroke, streak, and scribble seems to represent distinct characters in a novel alphabet or communicative method. Though this system's exact terms and legibility remain undefined, a lyrical logic begins to take shape and is subliminally intuited.

"Montage," Rafael Delacruz's inaugural solo exhibition with the gallery, is now open. Join us this evening, April 24th from 6-8pm for a reception.

In this work gradients of apricot saturate a figure bent forward, as if in motion. Even with limited pictorial clues, a street scene begins to emerge here, complete with buildings, an empty can of soda, and a secondary walker in the distance. On the bottom right hand corner of the image, a calendar page for the month of May has been silkscreened under the painted surface. This month, coincidentally the month of Delacruz’s inaugural exhibition at Altman Siegel, is further embellished by the addition of a magnetic fava bean. The removable magnetic bean can be moved over the calendar as if to count down the days.

Today is the last day to see works by Trevor Paglen and Shinpei Kusanagi at the San Francisco Art Fair (). Visit us at Booth A03 from 11am to 6pm.

Trevor Paglen’s work considers the proliferation of UFO sightings and artificial intelligence in relation to the political and cultural climate. Concerns regarding the militarization of psychological operations (PSYOPS), surveillance, privacy, and freedom resonate throughout Paglen’s practice. Ultimately, he poses the question: what is the relationship between photography and power and how can invisible influences that inform our beliefs be investigated and framed in an image?

“Paglen’s art is about surveillance, technology, and hidden forms of power. But one could also say his work is about faith and doubt: It bolsters our faith that certain things we can’t see really do exist, and sows doubt about whether we consented to live in a society where certain things exist. CIA black sites and rendition programs. Spy satellites. Secret military bases. Machine-hallucinated images. Racist classification schemes fueling facial recognition systems. The surveillance of our everyday behaviors. UFOs.” - Sarah Miller, Aperture Magazine, December 5, 2024

Visit us at Booth A03 at the San Francisco Art Fair through Sunday, April 20 to see featured works by Shinpei Kusanagi and Trevor Paglen.⁠

Shinpei Kusanagi’s paintings are manifestations of his ongoing interest in ephemerality, temporality and space. “They just disappear” and “Walk away/ Melt away” are inspired by the transient moments Kusanagi experienced while waiting on a train platform. Living and working in Tokyo, Kusanagi’s works reflect both the vibrant energy of the city and the beauty of its natural environment. Reminiscent of water rippling with the tide or grass swaying in the wind, Kusanagi’s expressive marks evoke landscape without referencing specific times or places.⁠

“My paintings are like mirrors…a view, a feeling, or a memory that you have inside of you.” - Shinpei Kusanagi
