Vasily Klyukin’s Crypto series at Serge Sorokko Gallery — a preview of the artist’s forthcoming large-scale retrospective, opening June 26 in Napa.

The works explore the intersection of technology, environmental urgency, and the evolving future of humanity. Writing about Klyukin’s Embryo and Crypto series, Chris Fite-Wassilak observes in his essay “Universal Cipher: Modeling the Future in Vasily Klyukin’s Embryo and Crypto Series” that Klyukin’s sculptures and installations reveal “an awareness of the dark undercurrents of human behavior” alongside “an awareness of environmental urgencies.” He describes the relief works as “often dark and foreboding, but not unhopeful” — and ultimately optimistic in suggesting that “we have a future.”

As the gallery prepares for Klyukin’s retrospective, these Crypto works offer a powerful glimpse into an artistic language shaped by code, warning, transformation, and possibility.

Donald Sultan: Still Lifes
A glimpse through the installation — where weight, surface, and form come together with unmistakable force. Sultan’s works distill flowers, fruit, and everyday objects into images of striking presence: at once austere, sensual, and deeply alive.

"Fashioning Art from Paper" exhibition of the famous pulp dresses created by the Belgian artist Isabelle de Borchgrave came to the Baker Museum in Naples, Florida.

"What made de Borchgrave choose the dresses she did?" asks the Naples Daily News, "what are the stories behind the people who once walked in costumes exactly like these?"

"Whatever answers come to the viewer in the galleries of Artis—Naples, where some 70 de Borchgrave pieces are on exhibition," continues the Daily News, "there's a sensation they're being discussed among an assembled multitude. The costumes are so vivid and naturally posed you imagine a dancer from the Ballet Russes or the chatelaine of the Medici household stepping from the platform to speak."

New paintings and paper sculptures by Isabelle de Borchgrave will be on view at the Serge Sorokko Gallery in San Francisco in the fall. Stay tuned for more information.

Isabelle de Borchgrave's paper costumes convey textures and colors that are magnetically real.

Don't miss your last chance to experience Isabelle de Borchgrave's "Fashioning Art From Paper" at The Frick Pittsburgh in Point Breeze. The museum exhibit runs through Jan. 6.

The Belgian artist’s hand-painted sculptures of dresses and other objects are so period-authentic and so detailed, that it's hard to believe that what you're actually looking at is paper.

The journeys Isabelle de Borchgrave takes through the history of fashion range from gowns of the Medicis, patrons and rulers of Renaissance Florence, to the whimsical modernism of Les Ballets Russes, which featured designs by artists like Henri Matisse and Pablo Picasso.

The exhibit came together as a project of four different American museums, in Memphis, Palm Beach, Oklahoma City and the Frick in Pittsburgh. This is her first U.S. retrospective tour.

The striking exhibition includes one extraordinary dress that is completely new, commissioned specifically for the Frick exhibit. It's based on a painting in the Frick's collection, a portrait by Peter Paul Rubens in 1609 of the gold and pearl-adorned Princess of Condé.
