Every portrait tells a story. Some demand you stop and listen.

Represent: Contemporary Figuration and Portraiture from the Collection brings together some of the most compelling and diverse portraits in OMA's permanent collection, and this iteration includes a standout addition.

A newly acquired textile by Kandy G Lopez, Hispaniola II – Mia (2024). Together with the broader collection, these works reflect the full range of what contemporary portraiture looks like today across media, identity, and perspective.

Land, water, sky, and everything in between.

Imagining Landscapes II is on view now at OMA, expanding on the first iteration with an even broader selection of works from our permanent collection. Painting, photography, mixed media — all united by one of art's oldest and most enduring subjects: the landscape.

This edition also features newly gifted works from the Cottrell-Lovett Collection, making it a fresh look even for those who caught the first show.

On view through September 8, 2026 in the Weyand Gallery.

Born in Peru, one of the artist’s favorite subjects concerned cultures that existed before the Inca empire. His inspiration for Flama was the pre-Columbian culture of “Chavín”- the mixture of art and spirituality. “Cabezas Clavas” or “Tenon Heads” are stone sculptures of faces with anthropomorphic and zoomorphic features that they used to place in front of their temples.

Garundt is primarily inspired by the ancient human pull towards that which cannot be explained by logic; using form to represent the formless. He believes the artists from these civilizations felt the same need to connect to something beyond the transitory, carving these stones to serve as messengers from another realm or as functional objects to be used in rituals in order to open their eyes to a deeper truth.

Although Flama started using contemporary methods (digitally by using a tablet and a stylus) the rest of the process was done using ancient techniques (printmaking). The direct and stimulating process of printmaking connects him to ancient artists by infusing art with mindfulness that feels very grounding and primal.

This series emerges from the meditative act of working with textiles, roots, plastic, and other materials. Inspired by corals, the sea, and the fragile balance of nature, the works reflect on the consequences of a concept of progress driven by consumption and economic greed.

Through organic textures, fibers, and layered surfaces, I explore the idea that human beings are not separate from nature but part of an interconnected living system, as many ancestral philosophies have understood.

The work also turns inward, asking how our own values and actions shape the world around us. By harming nature, we ultimately harm ourselves. These pieces invite reflection on responsibility, interdependence, and the possibility of restoring a more conscious relationship with the natural world.

Nature is dying, so do we, n.d., yarn, burlap, plastic, wood, paper, macramé soft cotton cord, plastic mesh, tarred marine rope, and roots, 60 x 32 in. ©Rafael Montilla
