Antonia Ferrer – De óxido y hueso
Barcelona, Alzueta Sèneca

This month, Alzueta Gallery presents several great shows for lovers of minimalist art. In Barcelona (Sèneca location), the gallery presents a new solo show with Spanish artist Antonia Ferrer. Ferrer works at the intersection of painting, sculpture, and nature. Her practice is grounded in gesture, intuition, and the quiet transformation of raw materials. With a minimalist approach and a deep sensitivity to texture and light, the artist creates surfaces that feel both ancient and immediate.

And on the ground floor of the Sèneca location, the gallery showcases the new project by artist Enrich.R as part of the T-10 series, featuring ten compositions from his Blur series, in which the artist experiments with scale, composition, and color. (More here)


Hideaki Yamanobe – The Peak
Frankfurt, Japan Art – Galerie Friedrich Müller

Galerie Friedrich Müller in Frankfurt presents a solo exhibition by Japanese artist Hideaki Yamanobe. The artist creates meditative abstract spaces through nuanced gradations of white and grey on black, blending contemporary minimalism with the traditions of East Asian landscape painting. The works are reminiscent of alpine landscapes – layers of translucent paint appear like fog, clouds, and rock formations, symbolizing life’s journey, the struggle toward the summit, the fleeting moments of triumph, and the inevitable descent.

Agnes Martin
New York, Pace Gallery

In New York, Pace presents the exhibition Innocent Love with works by Agnes Martin. On display are 12 paintings from the late 1990s and early 2000s in which she took up new experimentations with the phenomenological possibilities of color to express the unbridled imagination of childhood. This is the final exhibition in the gallery’s 65th anniversary celebrations. The works on display reflect Martin’s intense, lifelong interest in the spiritual essence of painting and her conviction that beauty is untethered to any single subject or meaning. A collection of Martin’s writings will be published to accompany the exhibition.

More information will be available here soon.


Minimal
Paris, Bourse de Commerce

In Paris, the show of the year for every lover of minimalist art is currently on view: Minimal, at the Bourse de Commerce, brings together more than one hundred works by fifty artists – including Dan Flavin, Agnes Martin, Robert Ryman and more – to explore the evolution and global reach of Minimal Art since the 1960s. Curated by Jessica Morgan, Director of the Dia Art Foundation, Minimal examines how artists around the world radically redefined the relationship between artwork, space, and viewer. I’ll be there in person and will share my impressions of the show with you here, of course. Stay tuned.

More information here. Review coming soon.


Nuria Maria – Nectar
Paris, Alzueta Gallery

If you’re in Paris for the “Minimal” exhibition, make sure to check out Alzueta’s newest location, where a solo show by Dutch artist Nuria Maria is on view until mid-November. Through her paintings, the artist explores nature’s cyclical rhythms, capturing fleeting moments like fading flowers and autumn skies. Using a palette of earthy tones, she celebrates the quiet renewal of life and the interconnectedness of small and large forces in nature. The works invite contemplation of seasonal transitions, evoking both the beauty of endings and the promise of new beginnings.

William McKeown – And that moment the bird sings very close / To the music of what happens
Belfast, The MAC

And in Belfast, Northern Ireland, The MAC presents a major exhibition dedicated to William McKeown (1962–2011), celebrating his enduring exploration of light, nature, and perception. Bringing together key works from across his career, the exhibition highlights McKeown’s ability to distill fleeting moments into subtle paintings and drawings that radiate quiet intensity. His works evoke presence and fragility, offering viewers an intimate encounter with the beauty of the everyday and the immaterial forces that shape experience.
