Influenced by the works of Hopper and Hans Hofmann, Mitchell Johnson: Personal Color (Selected Small Paintings 1988-2026) is shaped by decades of visits to Paris and Cape Cod, two places that have anchored and evolved Johnson's painting over the course of his career. Hofmann, through his teaching, transported the aesthetics and concerns of the School of Paris across the Atlantic, eventually creating a group atelier curriculum that would expand the breadth of American Modernism through his theory of push and pull.

From figures with multiple legs and noodles for arms to frolicking trees, Paco Pomet summons the absurd. Known for his uncanny oil paintings rendered mostly in monochrome and enlivened by colorful details of overly stretchy limbs or celestial objects, a sense of nostalgia greets surreal scenarios. The artist often derives his imagery from vintage black-and-white photographs, adding an absurd dimension to history.

Lo Brutto Stahl is pleased to present The Idea of a City, the first-ever solo exhibition by New York based artist and art dealer Shelby Jackson. The show features a selection of paintings, objects, and works on paper created over the past five years. Shelby Jackson (b. 1990, Chicago, IL) lives and works in NY. He is the founder and director of 15 Orient, a contemporary art gallery located in lower Manhattan.

Robert Lostutter's works explore the intersections of identity and transformation through surreal compositions that challenge traditional notions of the human form.
