Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; and Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY, among others.

Peter Alexander

Peter Alexander Artist Portrait

Peter Alexander (b.1939, Los Angeles, CA. d. 2020, Santa Monica, CA) has been widely exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide since the mid-1960s. His work is an active exploration of resins and color, transparency, and translucence. Alexander’s vision is one of creating a generative object – an entity that appears to emit its own light and energy. Peter Alexander is the recipient of multiple honors and awards including a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship in 1980 and the California Art Award in 2014. In 1999, the Orange County Museum of Art (Newport Beach, CA) mounted a retrospective exhibition In this Light inclusive of painting and sculpture.

Anne Appleby

Anne Appleby Artist Portrait

Anne Appleby (b. 1954, Harrisburg, PA) studied at Philadelphia College of Art before relocating to Montana in 1971, subsequently earning her BFA at the University of Montana, Missoula, and eventually establishing a studio and residence in the sparsely populated community of Jefferson City. In addition to receiving her MFA from the San Francisco Art Institute in 1989, Appleby’s educational background includes a fifteen-year apprenticeship with Ojibwe artist and holy man Ed Barbeau, with whom she learned and refined processes of intense meditative awareness in nature. The tenor of Appleby’s work reflects the sensation of that observational practice and resides at the core of her philosophical approach to painting.

Appleby’s work has been exhibited in numerous solo exhibitions at galleries and museums worldwide. Her second solo exhibition with parrasch heijnen, titled Anne Appleby: Array, is currently on view from June 14 - July 26, 2025. A solo exhibition titled A Hymn for the Mother took place at the Missoula Art Museum (MT) in 2021, and traveled to parrasch heijnen in 2022. Other notable solo exhibitions include Mayor Gallery, London (2010); Gallery Paule Anglim, San Francisco (1993-2011); Villa e Collezione Panza, Varese (2007); and Borzo Gallery, Amsterdam (2016). Her works are held in the permanent collections of: the Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY; the Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; Daimler Art Collection, Stuttgart/Berlin, DE; Denver Museum of Art, Denver, CO; National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC; the Panza Collection, Lugano, CH; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA; and the Seattle Art Museum Seattle, WA; amongst others.

Forrest Bess

Forrest Bess Artist Portrait

Forrest Bess (b. 1911, Bay City, TX; d. 1977, Bay City, TX) was largely a self taught artist. The paintings were typically small, referencing what he perceived on the backs of his eyelids, and were faithful to his hallucinatory visions. Bess’ art has been shown in numerous museums, including solo exhibitions at: the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York (1981); the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago (1988); Museum Ludwig, Cologne (1989), and the Fridericianum, Kassel, Germany (2020). In 2013, the Menil Collection, Houston, hosted a major survey of Bess’s work titled Seeing Things Invisible, curated by Claire Elliott, which traveled to the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2013-2014), the Neuberger Museum of Art, Purchase (2014), and the University of California, Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive, Berkeley (2014). Bess received the Mark Rothko Foundation Grant in 1973. Robert Gober presented a room of Bess’ work for the 2012 Whitney Biennial, which drew renewed critical attention to the artist. Bess’ works reside in the permanent collections of: the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles; the Menil Collection, Houston; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; The Phillips Collection, Washington, D.C., and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, among many others. In 2018, Bess was included in LACMA’s Outliers and American Vanguard Art exhibition.

Ernesto Burgos

Ernesto Burgos Portrait

Ernesto Burgos (Chilean-American, b. 1979, Santa Clara, CA) lives and works in New York, NY. Burgos manipulates commercial materials such as cardboard, fiberglass and resin to create his organically shaped works. The work relays the illusionary and physical space of abstraction; each form mimics the stroke in an inverse or manipulated relationship. He bends, tears, cuts and glues repeatedly until the abstraction becomes three dimensional. Through this bodily process of sculptural painting, he explores the progression of change, mark making, movement and manipulation. The work changes as the viewer’s perspective shifts in relation to the piece, the illusionary space is contorted and expanded adding depth to the gestural motions.

Burgos was born in Santa Clara, CA and raised in Chile. In 2004, he earned a BFA from the College of the Arts in San Francisco, CA followed by an MFA from New York University in 2008. Ernesto Burgos is represented by parrasch heijnen, Los Angeles.

In her works, Dipp employs a manual sewing machine to ‘paint’ on denim with thread, creating variously-scaled collaged textile works that express the myriad ways in which imagery has been enlisted to make and describe America. Informed by her Lebanese and Syrian familial lineages that migrated to Mexico and the United States over the course of generations, Dipp fundamentally understands America to be a moving picture. She posits that a nation’s ideals are wrought from the labor of daily efforts, and recognizes that aspiration is a uniquely American condition. Together, Dipp’s works form an aesthetic argument describing how representations of America reflect an ever changing nation.

Ali Dipp graduated from the Brown-RISD Dual Degree Program in May 2022 with degrees from Brown University (A.B., English) and Rhode Island School of Design (B.F.A., Painting). Dipp is now pursuing an interdisciplinary Ph.D. at Stanford University in Modern Thought and Literature. She is the recipient of the Royal Drawing Academy’s Dumfries Residency in Scotland. Dipp has staged her original plays though the organization she co-founded in 2012, Sunhouse Arts. Sunhouse Arts donates all net profits to humanitarian efforts in the El Paso-Juárez area. During the spring and summer of 2021, Dipp co-hosted and was the creator of “Pass of the North,” an iHeartRadio show broadcast across the Southwest and Mexico. Dipp recently completed her first manuscript, Book of Yet.

Ali Dipp is represented by Franklin Parrasch Gallery.

Alteronce Gumby

IMG_0519.jpeg

Alteronce Gumby graduated from Yale University’s MFA program in 2016, where he was awarded the Robert Reed Memorial Scholarship and the Austrian American Foundation/Seebacher Prize for Fine Arts. He earned his BFA from Hunter College, New York, NY in 2013. Gumby was a 2019 artist-in-residence at the Rauschenberg Foundation in Captiva Island, Florida. In 2017, he completed a residency as the Harriet Hale Woolley Scholar at the Fondation des États-Unis in Paris, France. 

Gumby’s work focuses on the abstract representation of the self, subverting the traditional understanding of light and color through nuanced application of tonal changes directly with his fingers and hands in an exploration of the history of monochromatic painting, color theory, astrophysics, and the origins of the universe.

The artist’s recent solo and two-person exhibitions include Alteronce Gumby | Charles Ross, parrasch heijnen, Los Angeles, CA (2024), Dark Matter, Allentown Art Museum, Allentown, PA (2022); The Color of Everything, Nicola Vassell, New York, NY (2022); It was all A Dream, Koki Arts, Tokyo, Japan (2022); My Favorite Color is a Rainbow, parrasch heijnen, Los Angeles, CA (2020); Catching the Holy Ghost, parrasch heijnen, Los Angeles, CA (2019; and Black(ness) is Beautiful, the Fondation des États-Unis, Paris, France (2017). Group exhibitions include: Social Abstraction, curated by Antwuan Sargent, Gagosian, Beverly Hills, CA (2024); 100 Years, Gagosian x Deitch, Miami, FL (2022); and For Freedoms, Columbus Museum of Art, The Pizzuti Collection, Columbus, Ohio (2018).

Gumby’s work is held in the collections of The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York, NY; Columbus Museum of Art, Columbus, Ohio; Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, New York, NY; Williams College Museum of Art, Williamstown, MA; Allentown Art Museum, Allentown, PA; and Memphis Brooks Museum of Art, Memphis, Tennessee.

Rosy Keyser

Rosy Keyser (b. 1974, Baltimore, MD) grew up in rural Maryland where she developed a sensational awareness of tools and materials in the outdoors. Her paintings, tactile and physical, exist as poetic forms realized in tangible objects. Keyser asks how we can propagate new beauty, new language, new structures, and new tools using the elastic language of painting. Through concrete processes involving improvisation, collage, and intuitive play, the artist negotiates the shifting relationships of creation and destruction and attendant sensuality and brutality that characterize nature. Her paintings seek to recuperate the vibrant qualities of direct experience and how it is imprinted on us. Emerging from her deep and longstanding Buddhist practice, the Keyser’s body and conceptual intent are equally visible in the configurations she pulls from the shared energetic field of human consciousness.

Rosy Keyser earned her BFA at Cornell University in 1997 and her MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2003. Keyser has shown extensively throughout the United States and internationally, with the solo exhibitions: Arp 273, parrasch heijnen (Los Angeles, CA); I’ll Fly Away, Nunu Fine Art (Taipei, Taiwan); The OtherOther, Maccarone (New York and Los Angeles); Medusa Pie Country, Peter Blum Gallery (New York); and We Sing Sin,Contemporary Fine Arts (Berlin, Germany). Group exhibitions include: Rosy Keyser & Eleanor Mikus, Parts & Labor, Beacon, NY; Painter Painter at Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN, and Pink Caviar at Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark. Keyser’s work is held in the permanent collections of: the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art, Humlebaek, Denmark; the Maxine and Stuart Frankel Foundation, Bloomfield Hills, MI; Portland Museum of Art, Portland, ME; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis, MN; and the Zabludowicz Collection, London, UK. Rosy Keyser was a Fall 2017 artist in residence at the Chinati Foundation (Marfa, TX) and a 2022 artist in residence at the Læsø AiR, Denmark. Rosy Keyser is represented by parrasch heijnen, Los Angeles; Contemporary Fine Arts, Berlin, Germany; Nunu Fine Art, Taipei, Taiwan; and Sevil Dolmaci, Dubai, UAE.

Matthew Kirk

Matthew Kirk’s (b. 1978, Ganado, AZ) art exudes a rhythmic intensity based in a matrix of mark-making that he has developed, inspired by abstractions, comics, and Diné (Navajo) imagery, freely mixing materials including oil stick, chalk, gouache, spray paint, graphite, acrylic paint, colored tape, staples, and brass BBs, in a compositional strategy that merges a representation of the landscape of the Southwest and the freeform abstraction of music. An enrolled member of the Navajo Nation, Kirk’s paintings and sculpture explore the space between the hegemonic American visual image of the Native and his lived experience, exploiting the hackneyed to both embrace and question imposed cultural tropes.

Kirk is currently included in The Brooklyn Artists Exhibition, Brooklyn Museum (Brooklyn, NY) on view October 4, 2024–January 26, 2025. He has exhibited at Pr1mary Space Gallery (Hamtramck, MI), Louis B. James (New York, NY), Makasiini Contemporary (Turku, Finland), and Halsey McKay Gallery (East Hampton, NY), among others.

Kristy Luck

 

At once dynamic and organic, rich and transcendent, Kristy Luck’s (b. 1985, Woodstock, IL) paintings embody the artist’s practice of surrealism viewed through the lens of spiritual abstraction. Luck’s luscious yet restrained palette and measured brush stroke refer-ence the artist’s inward gaze — a deep inner probing interrogating meaning and figuration and relating to the constrictions and limits of time, space, and boundaries.

Kristy Luck received their BFA from Rockford University (Rockford, IL) in 2010 and their MFA from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago (Chicago, IL) in 2014. Luck’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Franklin Parrasch Gallery (New York, NY), Philip Martin Gallery (Los Angeles, CA); Mendes Wood DM (São Paulo, Brazil) and ODD ARK LA (Los Angeles, CA). Additionally, their work has been included in group shows at Marin MOCA (San Rafael, CA); Sidecar (Los Angeles, CA); GRIMM (New York, NY); Analog Diary (Beacon, NY); Torrance Art Museum (Torrance, CA); Corbett vs. Dempsey (Chicago, IL); and Projet Pangée (Montreal, Canada). Kristy Luck lives and works in Los Angeles, CA. They were recently selected for the upcoming Hammer biennial, Made in L.A. 2025, opening October 5, 2025. Kristy Luck is represented by parrasch heijnen.

Deborah Remington

Deborah Remington Artist Portrait

Deborah Remington (b. 1930, Haddonfield, NJ - d. 2010, Moorestown, NJ), a renegade in every sense of the word and a relative of American West painter Frederic Remington, earned her B.F.A. in 1955 from the California School of Fine Arts (later renamed San Francisco Art Institute), where she studied with Clyfford Still, David Park, and Elmer Bischoff, amongst others. Her career burgeoned in the 1960s when she had three solo shows at the Dilexi Gallery in San Francisco and one at the San Francisco Museum of Art. In 1963, she was the only woman to show at Dilexi’s short-lived Los Angeles gallery alongside Joe Goode and H.C. Westermann.

In New York, she exhibited at Bykert Gallery starting in 1967. A twenty-year retrospective exhibition of Remington’s work, curated by Paul Schimmel, was held at the Newport Harbor Art Museum (Newport Beach, CA) in 1983 (now Orange County Museum of Art), and traveled to the Oakland Museum of Art as well as several other venues. More recently, Remington’s work has been featured in several exhibitions including: Women of Abstract Expressionism, a traveling exhibition by the Denver Art Museum and Psychedelic: Optical and Visionary Art Since the 1960s, which opened at the San Antonio Museum of Art in 2010 and traveled widely. Remington was the recipient of numerous grants and awards in her lifetime including a Guggenheim Fellowship (1984), a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship (1979), and a Tamarind Fellowship (1973), among others. In 1999, she was elected to the National Academy of Design and received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant.
