: ROSE NESTLER

“I stumbled across this painting by Magritte a few years ago and it really stuck with me. It depicts a faceless figure that reads as clothing without a body underneath and the torso is replaced by an open birdcage. In my version, I replace the birdcage with an open window, the window panes however imprison a leather clad, feminine torso whose breasts become soft mouths, one of them hanging onto a fabric cigar (a taunt to Freud.)”

Rose Nestler (b. 1983, Spokane, WA) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. She holds an MFA from Brooklyn College and BA in Art History from Mount Holyoke College.Her works have been shown at Pangeé, Montreal, QC, Primary, Miami, SUNY Oneonta Galleries, NY, Boston University, Boston, Swivel Gallery, Saugerties, NY, NADA Miami, Carvalho Park, Brooklyn, NY, Mrs., Maspeth, NY, PUBLIC Gallery, London, UK, SPRING/BREAK Art Show, New York, NY, Perrotin, New York, Galveston Art Residency, Galveston, TX, Frye Art Museum, Seattle, WA, Hesse Flatow, New York, NY, König Galerie, Berlin, Thierry Goldberg Gallery, New York,

: Swivel Gallery is immensely proud to announce its representation of artist Utē Petit ( ) following her dynamic solo exhibition at the gallery “LusaHumma : Land Of The Black Red”, both visionary and mystical, Petit’s mixed media practice combines extraordinary technical abilities with raw, gripping imagery that forces one to contemplate their implications in social dynamics, reflect on contemporary histories, and in turn, our collective futures.

Utē Petit (b. 1995, Southfield, Michigan) is a New Orleans-based artist whose work explores Black-Indigenous land-based traditions and the creation of ‘Ailanthaland,’ a free Black nation of heavenly beings conceptualized using charcoal and graphite drawings, quilts, installations, farming, and cooking. Utē specializes in textile practices, incorporating woven, quilted, and hand-printed fabrics, along with drawing, painting, and collage. Her practice partners with the Earth, incorporating land stewardship into the process. Utē’s ancestry as a quilter, educator, and farmer informs her work, as does her upbringing on farms across the globe. She is currently stewarding her great-grandmother’s and three neighbors’ lots in New Orleans as part of her quest to rematriate family land stolen by the state of Louisiana. Through her work, Utē seeks to represent a nation divested from white-imposed societal constructs and committed to the self-determination of all beings.

She was the winner of the third annual Illuminations Grant for Black Trans Women Visual Artists (2022) and recipient of the Marsha P. Johnson Starlight Fellowship (2023). She received her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design (Providence) in 2018. Her work has been included in exhibitions at New Orleans African American Museum (New Orleans), Oakland Avenue Urban Farm (Detroit), and Library Street Collective (Detroit).

IVANA ŠTULIĆ, Connections - On view until February 13th

Traversing through a combination of domestic and perceptive imagery that pierces the senses, Štulić introduce the viewer into a space that questions our concept of reality, memory, and our body’s reaction to inhabited space.

At once eerie and ominous, Štulić’s oil paintings freeze moments which are usually taking place in the corners of our human experience in this world, to explore our current connection and disconnection with the lives we live.

Hailing from Croatia, her Eastern European sensibility is clear, in all her starkness there lies a philosophical way of observing societal behaviors, her labor intensive process and extreme perfectionism allows Štulić to surgically extract and transfer acute, minimal visual information through her realistic paintings, which begin as staged photographs of liminal atmospheres and through this process the artist exercises and operates a deep cognitive and psychological analysis of her subjects, exposing them to their inescapable loneliness of experience.

Štulić questions how these connections and disconnections reflect our everyday life and the tipping point of when our idea of connection with the body and mind can become questionable and ambiguous and attempts to understand the nature of consciousness in terms of its ability to directly or indirectly modify behavior.

: MEREDITH SELLERS

Meredith Sellers uses the framework of the window, in both the architectural and the digital sense, to explore the mediated image. Images are cropped and manipulated, forced into conversation, forming their own enigmatic languages. Through references to destruction, decay, and the natural world, her paintings explore systems of wealth, power, and violence.

“A Fly and a Whale” references imagery from Dutch Golden Age painting and prints. The central image is a detail from a painting by Jan van Huysum, an artist known for his opulent floral still lifes. The tulip refers here to tulip mania, one of the first trade speculation bubbles for a luxury good, while the fly perched on the tulip is a memento mori, a symbol of rot. In the upper left corner is an image of a beached whale is taken from a 1598 engraving by Jacob Matham. Beachings were considered by the Dutch to be an omens of impending doom. The strip of meat running down the right side of the panel reinforces the themes of temporality and decay.

Meredith Seller was just featured on “Artists We Are Obsessed This Month” - congratulations!🎉 scroll to read!

Meredith Sellers (b. 1988, Baltimore, MD) is an artist and writer living and working in Philadelphia. She holds a BFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art and an MFA from the University of Pennsylvania. Sellers has exhibited at Workplace (London, UK), Fragment (NY, NY), Swivel Gallery (BK, NY), Take It Easy (Atlanta, GA), Rosenwald-Wolf Gallery at UArts, Pressure Club, Vox Populi, and ICA Philadelphia (Phila, PA), among others. Her work has been featured in Art Papers, Maake Magazine, and White Column’s Curated Artist Registry.

Featuring Maria Conejo, Alejandro García Contreras, Isabella Mellado

📍February 8th-11th
Booth A05, Expo Riforma, CDMX 🇲🇽

This 3 person presentation brings together a powerful ensemble of primordial energies, ancestral symbologies and alternative spiritualities.
�Inde�finitely haunted or possibly enchanted, these works embrace a similar contemporary esotericism that strives to answer the mysteries of the Universe. Between life and death, �fire and water, these artists’ work calls attention to the interconnectivity weaving individual bodies and universal energ
Resisting against repression on individual lives and the objecti�cation of female bodies, these works celebrate a primordial universality, while addressing existential questions that have characterized humanity globally, between the opposing forces of eros and thanatos, life and death, generation and destruction, male and female, highlighting how these contrasts dialectically shift evolution.

The 3 artists deliver a presentation of singular mystic force for Material, casting light on new possibilities of truths, while simultaneously returning to paganism beginning with a genuine rediscovery of the Latinx ancestral wisdom of their homelands.

See you in CDMX! 🌵

: DEW KIM

“The tendencies of the world to seek completion and order is expressed as a force of oppression in my artwork.
My art seeks to combat the self-oppressive world by destroying the self and liberating it from social structures of oppression.
This process of destruction, in masochistic terms, is both pain and pleasure, and the resulting space of destruction is neither subject nor object. In other words, the timeframe of my work is both a moment of destruction and birth.
These moments do not fall into any logical category or language system.
To me, the starting point of art, religion and identity lies at the critical junction of change and collision.
Transforming the coordinates of change and conflict is a Q***r artistic approach that seeks to erase and reform existing normative boundaries”

Dew Kim (b.1985, Seoul, South Korea) received his MA in Sculpture from Royal College of Art, London, UK and BFA in Metalsmithing and Jewelry from Konkuk University, South Korea. Kim’s artistic practice is built on exploring various intersections of art, religion, and identity that lie in the critical point of change and collision.

Kim has had solo exhibitions at Alternative Space Loop, Seoul; Various Small Fires, Seoul; Fragment Gallery, Moscow; out_sight, Seoul. Also, he participated in group exhibitions at Documenta15, Kassel; National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul; Barbican Centre, Camden Arts Centre and Institute of Contemporary Arts, London; Ilmin Museum of Art, N/A, and Art Space BOAN, Seoul; Daegu Art Museum; Para Site, PHD Group, Galerie Du Monde, Hong Kong; Grey Projects, Singapore; Swivel Gallery, Subtitled, New York; Buenos Aires Moving Image Biennial; Palazzo Lucarini Contemporary, Trevi; VBKÖ, Vienna; Haus am Lützowplatz, Berlin and more.

: BRIDGET MULLEN

“I work free-associatively, without plans, to create paintings and sculptures. In paintings, the figures exist to affect the composition of the ground and the ground exists to affect the composition of the figures. Through alternating color modulation and flatness in disjointed layers and repeating ambiguous imagery, I create game-like situations in which characters are in a state of becoming, causing paintings to seem self-aware.” artist statement from Maake Mag

Bridget Mullen (b. 1976, Winona, MN) lives and works in Brooklyn, NY. Mullen holds a BAE from Drake University and MFA from Massachusetts College of Art. Her paintings combine decisive mark-making with intuition and experimentation to conjure psychedelic compositions that oscillate between abstraction and figuration. Instead of sketching or initiating a painting with a concrete idea in mind, Mullen begins each piece with abstract marks, undulating lines, and a layering of color. Each formal development on the canvas informs the next until the totality of choices begins to evoke characteristics of a body—eyes appear and gaze lazily, hair and eyelashes unfurl, and arms and legs spring into motion.

Her works have been shown at Shulamit Nazarian, NY and LA, Nathalie Karg, NY, at Bradley Ertaskiran, Montréal, QC, Lyndon House Arts Center, Athens, GR, Venus Over Manhattan, NY, Galerie Droste, Paris, FR, Public Gallery, London, UK among others. Mullen’s work has been featured in Artforum, The Brooklyn Rail, Juxtapoz, Maake Magazine, and ArtMaze. Her work is in the collections of the Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen in Rotterdam, Netherlands, the Anderson Museum of Contemporary Art in Roswell, NM, and the Carolyn Campagna Kleefeld Contemporary Art Museum, Long Beach, CA.

: KENDALLE GETTY

“My art ethic is driven by an impulse towards disruption.I wish to strip visual and behavioral codes from their contexts, exposing them for the absurd and oppressive rituals they are. I seek the balance of education and anti-education, diplomacy and instinct. My prime focus is the fragile axis of muted, cultured brain-matter. I want to destroy basic and unnoticed assumptions, from the mundane to the abstract, to provide new space for unwritten and unrehearsed practices. I believe in hypocritical art—the art of multidimensionality, of the dogma of anti-dogma and the reverse, of concepts not yet verbalized, of life…Disrupt the acoustic image! Open yourself to an illogical synesthesia! Disarm and disword! No rules!”

Kendalle Getty (b. 1988, Los Angeles) is a multimedia artist based in New York and Los Angeles, with an interest in sculpture, poetry, music, and the creative arts. As the daughter of Gordon Getty, and a member of the Getty family, Kendalle sits on the Ann and Gordon Getty Foundation board of directors. Kendalle is a survivor of sexual violence, and she is devoted to improving the quality of life for women, nonbinary people, children, and other minorities and survivors of abuse and violence. Through her independent philanthropy, she supports important causes such as environmental conservation, animal welfare, human rights, and reforming the way the justice system handles gendered violence, racial inequities and bias, and transphobia. She has been featured in publications such as Cultured Magazine and Dazed Digital.

IVANA ŠTULIĆ, Connections - On view until February 13th

Suspense, in definition reads, “a state or feeling of excited or anxious uncertainty about what may happen”.

There is central nerve associated with the artist’s work, we feel, as the onlooker in Štulić’s work the anticipation of a moment, and our humanistic tendencies then relate these scenes to our own memories, installing ourselves in the minitae of her imagery and often continuing the story based on our own realities.

This suspension and apparent silence turns the canvas into a reflective space of contemplation, reconstructing the narrative which will eventually escape, and forcing us to understand the inescapable multidimensionality of experience that characterizes every event, between consciousness and senses.
The works are a pursuit of an ambitious anthropological and cognitive search with one of the most descriptive mediums, contorting the method of figuration as it has been traditionally approached, Štulić investigates how painting, as all our communication systems, will eventually inevitably fail in translating the complexly multilayered dimension of our experience in the world.

Štulić’s power lies in her ability to create indeterminacy for the viewer, making it unclear whether we are inside or outside of the painting, from whose viewpoint do we stand, shielded fully to events taking place on and beyond the canvas.

: KEUNMIN LEE

From large canvases to more medium sizes, the art of Keunmin does not admit any influence from the outside: all the colors and the tormented forms come directly from the abysses of the inner world and the depths of psyches, as elaboration and catharsis of the hallucinations the artist has been subjected in some of the darkest moments of his life. Warm red, brown and dark tainted canvases create an ocean of voracious sensations that instinctively touch something deeper, beyond the surface not only of the canvas but also of the bodies and reality, already inside the subconscious.

all his paintings are the result of an attempt to instivectly trace, sign and translate the inner world, with its desires, obsession, fears and sufferings. Hhis works can be described as hallucinatory mindscapes, characterized by a timeless and happenless of suspended ghosts and traumas that are still haunting the subconscious meandres.

Congratulations for also opening today his first solo show with in Berlin! 👏 On view until February 24.

Keunmin Lee, (b. 1982, Seoul) is based in Seoul, Korea. He received his B.F.A.from Seoul National University in 2007.

: ANDREW SENDOR

is most recognized for his extraordinary facility in representational painting that serves to illuminate his ongoing engagement with the power of the imagination. The artist introduces us to fictional characters in storylines whose genesis derives from a unique creative process: Sendor scripts, produces, directs, and documents performances recounting the life and times of his eccentric cast. Representing scenes from these psychologically charged, hallucinatory narratives, each meticulously rendered artwork surveys the materiality of images and the interrelated history of photorealism and evolution of photography.

This is centered on an inflection point in the overarching narrative whereby the protagonist, Casparina, has tragically fallen out of her treehouse and is in critical condition. Her dear friend, Solvej, has endeavored to spiritually channel her fellow ballet dancer to a recovered state.

The painted imagery functions as a poetic simulation of this scene, which derives from a performative event orchestrated around the corresponding actions of this sequence within the narrative

Andrew Sendor (b. 1977, New York City) is a visual artist who lives and works in New York. He had solo exhibitions at Sperone Westwater, NY, and at The Broad Art Museum MSU. His work was the subject of the two-person exhibition with Ali Banisadr” at MOCA Jacksonville. His works have been included in numerous museum exhibitions, including the Nassau County Museum of Art, NY; Funen Art Museum, Odense, Denmark; Hudson Valley MOCA, Peekskill, NY; Knoxville Museum of Art, Knoxville, TN; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Kansas City, MO; and the ARKEN Museum of Art, Ishøj, Denmark. Private and public collections owning his work include The Broad Art Museum MSU; The Morgan Library & Museum, New York; Hall Art Foundation, US and Germany; Museum of Contemporary Art Jacksonville; and Rubell Museum, Miami.

OpeningSoon: AMY BRAVO, Congratulations Hero!!! 🥊

Congratulations Hero!!!
Congratulations for her solo exhibition, opening this Thursday, January 18th (6.30-9pm) at Milan.

work is hallmarked by the capacity to explore the meshing of personal identity , family legacy and symbolism through a distinctive artistic technique that combines paintings, drawing and the
inclusion of heirlooms charged with emotional input.

For the first time in Italy, this show offers a deeper insight into the work of the artis. By deconstructing personal emotions linked to her own complex family background, Bravo pays out a guiding thread linking her to her Italian-Cuban origins. The works on display retrace her personal odyssey of resilience and deconstruction, made up of continuous attempts to bring together aspects of her own personality with a fragmented family history, offering the public impressions of typically human actions, weaknesses, and nuances.

The show explores the idea of ‘victory’ in a lost battle, probing the emotional consequences and the ensuing need for discussion and reconciliation, while exploring the confines of human experience through mythical symbolism, family archetypes, and q***r iconography.

If Bravo’s previous show in Paris represented the struggle, here the artist presents a new chapter devoted to the victory: a sentiment that is too clichéd but actually features an extreme complexity of emotions, ranging over the sense of ending, emptiness, sadness and distance.

In the catalogue of the exhibition the artist explains how the gestation of these works is fuelled by grief, a catalyst that has recently driven her to explore the stories of her Italian family, bringing to light a new dimension of her hereditary legacy, connecting her also to Italy.

By revealing her personal emotional baggage to the public, Bravo offers broader insight into the dynamics characterising family systems, revealing deep connections between the personal and the political.

: SONIA JIA

Through various imagined narrations, Sonia Jia attempts to meditate on the complexity of precarious intimacies and heal from her childhood trauma.

These two paintings still reference the colors of Sonia‘s skin colors including bruises, blood vessels, etc., in the skin, attempting to explore the traces, warmth, and conflicts left by elements in one's intimate relationships.

In "Blossom Waves," Sonia Jia depicts flowers given by a friend, implying that such intimate connections continuously influence her self- perception. Additionally, it symbolizes a desire to establish a close connection with the vast outdoors, despite being confined to a closed space.

Jia’s work has been recently shown at Miart, Milan, Era Gallery, Milan, Thames-side Studios, London, Povos, Chicago, Yellowbox Art Museum, Qingdao, China, ECM Art Space, Zhejiang, China, Qiangtang Bay Art Museum, Hangzhou, Zhejiang, China, among others. She has been featured in Art Maze Magazine.

"FEVER DREAM” is a group exhibition bringing to life a selection of works that flow strangely through space, twisting, weaving, discombobulating, and mimicking the dream world.

The show aims to reflect how artwork can apply the four stages of “dream work” through various forms.
In art creation as in dream work, the subconscious ciphering converts the latent content (a series of psychic experiences) into the manifested content as acceptable representations of residual consciousness.
The repressed can re-emerge and reveal itself in a free flow of energy from the psyche, thus overcoming socio-psychological constrictions.

Featuring: Camilla Alberti, Aris Azarmsa, Emma Beatrez, Filippo Cegani, Kiah Celeste, John Denniston II, Veronica Fernandez, Kendalle Getty, Ridley Howard, Sonia Jia, Manal Kara, Dew Kim, Anastasia Komar, Keunmin Lee, Xin Liu, Bridget Mullen, Rose Nestler, Christine Rebhuhn, Andrew Sendor, Meredith Sellers,
Daniel Swanigan Snow.

Last but not least, for Prelude Vol.4 we are unveiling a powerful abstract canvas by FRANK HOLLIDAY!

See you TONIGHT! ✌🏻
