Mindy Solomon is pleased to present Kiwha Lee and Julia Kunin: Electromagnetic Signature, a dynamic pairing of two- and three-dimensional works that explore the tension between material presence and invisible information. […]
Both artists engage with space and pattern as fundamental elements of their practices. From a purely visual perspective, affinities emerge in their forms, surfaces, and palettes. Yet the dialogue between the works extends beyond these formal similarities. There is a palpable sense of energy — an almost tangible “electricity” — that moves between Lee’s paintings and Kunin’s sculptures.
Together, the artists create an environment in which boundaries between surface and depth, body and architecture, material and image, and the visible and invisible become fluid. Electromagnetic Signature considers how pattern, reflection, color, and spatial perception can activate the space between artwork and viewer, transforming looking into an immersive and dynamic exchange.
Mindy Solomon is pleased to present Falling Tide Can Turn, the third solo exhibition of New York–based painter Matt Phillips. Featuring his signature approach to painting with transparent layers and pure pigment, the exhibition continues Phillips’s exploration of the visual language that has become central to his artistic practice.
In discussing the new exhibition, Phillips states: “These new paintings have an internal restlessness. Some days, when I came into the studio, they seemed close to being pictures of forms that could be named in clear terms. On other days, these same images appeared to embody actions that unfold through time — they moved, supported, bent, floated, and unfurled.
Embracing a shifting reading of the same image feels like a step in the right direction. In many of these paintings, a shape is as likely to describe the air between two objects as it is to describe a solid mass. A line can trace a firm edge or reveal an expanding fissure. This same logic holds true in the material world, as science often reminds us that no forms are actually still. Yet it is easy to slip into a mindset in which change equates to loss.
Mindy Solomon is pleased to feature Mexico-based Cuban artist Ernesto García Sánchez in his fourth exhibition with the gallery and third solo presentation. Continuing his visual investigation of line and geometric forms, Sánchez offers a fresh perspective on abstraction, painting, and the construction of space.
In discussing Couplings, Sánchez states: “Couplings is part of an investigation I have been developing in recent years around painting, geometry, and the construction of space. In this series, I am interested in questioning the idea that an artwork is definitively resolved once the image appears to have reached a conclusion. Each piece begins as a painting. Once completed, I cut it apart and reconstruct it to explore a new internal logic and discover relationships that were not present in its initial resolution. Rather than correcting the original composition, I am interested in putting it back into play and opening new possibilities within the process itself.
Mindy Solomon Gallery specializes in contemporary emerging and mid-career artists and art advisory services. The gallery represents artists working in painting, sculpture, photography, and video in both narrative and non-objective styles. The gallery program explores the intersection of art and design through an ongoing dialog between two and three-dimensional objects, while embracing diasporic voices. Utilizing the gallery space as a platform for inventive exhibitions, museum visitations, and public lectures, Solomon invites a sense of community and aesthetic enrichment.
Solomon founded the gallery in 2009 in St. Petersburg, Florida, where she established her reputation as a contemporary art dealer. She is a Board member of the Miami Art Dealers Association and is currently located in the Allapattah neighborhood in Miami.
