Rich’s last works he made in his hospital bed his last week —- right up till the day he passed. I’m thinking of Rich lots and all his words and kindness. A bit of a folk hero —- we all will remember him and his curation and artwork. I am so happy I was able to help arrange his show. It’s the least I could do for all he gave me and so many.

An incredible exhibition by the talented at . “Hiba Schahbaz: The Garden” spans 15 years of her remarkable career, featuring lush, multi-substrate paintings inspired by Sufi mysticism and global myths. This major retrospective brings together her signature motifs, including global allegory and feminist themes, to create an immersive environment that draws viewers into her expansive, imagined world.

Several works on view in this exhibition were first presented with New Image Art in the artist’s debut Los Angeles show. These meticulously rendered pieces are remarkable not only for their illumination of Pakistani culture through a distinctly female gaze, but also for their extraordinary material sensitivity—the handmade papers, the nuanced pigments, and the use of tea to evoke the warmth and variation of skin tone.

Hiba, trained in the rigorous tradition of miniature watercolor painting, expands that practice into compositions that are at once monumental, mystical, and profoundly beautiful. This exhibition offers a rare opportunity to experience the full scope of her craft and vision. You will not want to miss it.

Gaze Above

UPDATE: Since its founding over thirty years ago, New Image Art has remained a vital platform for artists shaping contemporary culture. Following our departure from West Hollywood, the gallery has entered a period of reset—expanding its scope beyond the white cube to embrace forms of exhibition and encounter that are more tactile, situated, and community-driven.

This next chapter prioritizes process as much as presentation: artist-led walks and conversations, intimate gatherings in Silverlake, and exhibitions in San Francisco and Europe. By foregrounding craft, materiality, and embodied practices, New Image Art seeks to cultivate new models of cultural stewardship while continuing to support the artists who define its history. The reset signals a deliberate recalibration—slower in rhythm, but no less ambitious—in order to build the conditions for what comes next.

Even within this reset, our commitments remain unchanged: we continue to champion the artists who have defined New Image Art’s legacy and to serve the collectors who support their work. The gallery remains fully engaged in facilitating connections, placing works, and sustaining the relationships that anchor our community.

This couch warranted documentation. At first glance, it may read as an incidental object—an aging piece of furniture tucked into the margins of a gallery—but at New Image Art, it served as a locus of cultural and interpersonal exchange. Nearly every artist who debuted here likely sat on it, waited out their nerves on it, or shared a moment—sexy, absurd, or transformative—upon it. It held the weight of emerging practices, more than a few hookups, and the passing time. If you stayed long enough, you might’ve heard one of Marsea’s stories—perhaps the one about the live tiger that once lived behind the gallery. More than just seating, this couch operated as a threshold: an unassuming anchor in a space that catalyzed artistic careers and subcultural currents alike. In its quiet presence, it bore witness to a history in motion.

We’re thrilled to welcome Twin P. Conrad to our presentation at NADA New York this year, booth B207.

Through their biomorphic abstractions and surgical dreamscapes, Twin constructs a world where the boundaries between flesh and machine dissolve—where steel breathes and glass pulses. Their work asks what it means to become, in a universe where every material, artificial or organic, is alive with potential.

Catch their work alongside Anatole Heger, Jeffrey Cheung, Umar Rashid, Matt Furie, and Twin P. Conrad, May 7–11 at the Starrett-Lehigh Building.
