In her vivid paintings, a cornerstone of her practice, Pessoa creates a bridge with ancient worlds, rendering flora and fauna in mineral pigments with simplicity and vitality. A master of materials, Pessoa here presents a diptych that glows.

Shuang Li
No Heat, 2025
Magazine, resin, beads
11 × 14 2/5 × 1/4 inches
Shuang Li is an artist who inhabits distances with curiosity, considering the emotional and communicative gaps between people, and what might blossom there. For I’m Not, her recent exhibition at Aspen Art Museum, Li explored the complex phenomenon of fandom, creating sculptures from resin that both held and concealed memorabilia. This work marks her continued exploration of this material, obscuring a shot of an enthralled audience with a tidal wave of tiny colored beads.

Jasper Marsalis
Untitled (Operation), 2024
Enamel and pen on paper
8 1/4 x 11 3/4 inches
The paintings of Jasper Marsalis often depict obscured, though visceral, acts of observation and spectacle. Stages, lights and eyes are defamiliarized in abstract compositions that allure and trick. In this striking black and white work on paper, Marsalis presents a beguiling opening that appears to be stitched together, alluding to the surgical parenthetical in its title.
