Casual Time
July 25, 2025 - August 29, 2025
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.

Past Exhibitions
Stephen Pace
Nudes & Birds
June 4, 2025 - July 19, 2025
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 nude 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.

Tyler Ormsby
Punk leaf
June 2, 2025 - July 19, 2025
Altman Siegel is pleased to present an exhibition of new paintings by Tyler Ormsby. These highly textured and atmospheric oil paintings use narrative as a loose framework to explore color, shape, and form. Medium is allowed to stain and pool upon the canvas freely and is consequently added to with corpulent layers of viscous color, resulting in a complex and varied surface. Washes of tinted gesso are applied as a glowing base and built upon with a vine charcoal sketch from which dusty hues of titanium white, bone black, and lemon yellow begin to populate. Broad spaces of diffusely tinged canvas break up passages of heavy brushwork. The tension between these permissive, attenuated realms of painting contrasts with densely worked areas, creating a drama played out across the face of the paintings.

Altman Siegel is pleased to present A view from a platform, an exhibition of new paintings by Shinpei Kusanagi. Employing gestural brushstrokes and washes of color on raw, untreated canvas, Kusanagi’s work captures natural ephemerality through observant abstraction.

The ground,
January 16, 2024 - March 2, 2024
“As the ground luminosity dawns at death, an experienced practitioner will maintain full awareness and merge with it, thereby attaining liberation.”
- Sogyal Rinpoche, The Tibetan Book of Living and Dying
Altman Siegel is pleased to present The ground, an exhibition of new paintings marking Liam Everett’s fifth solo exhibition with the gallery. Engaging with questions regarding the influence of authorship, environment, and collective consciousness, this new body of work represents a significant aesthetic shift for the artist evolving from moments of chaos, growth, and discomfort. Atmospheric and layered, Everett’s paintings search for and amplify a sense of ambiguity, seeking the obliteration of ego.
