Drift Cars Weave and Sunlight Paints: Small Galleries, Big Surprises This December
A jacquard loom and a drift car might seem worlds apart, but in Ludwigsburg, Germany, Constanza Camilla Kramer Garfias fuses centuries-old weaving with the adrenaline of racing, capturing motion in every thread. Meanwhile, in Rome, "About Painting III" brings together nine artists who each challenge what painting can be—Olivia Hill’s imagined coastlines and Andrea Respino’s dreamlike waters both blur the lines between reality and reverie. In San Francisco, Adam Baker’s introspective figures and resilient pigeons become metaphors for queer identity and the search for belonging, while Michael Batty in Los Angeles composes color blocks like visual haikus, where harmony and discord dance side by side. Over in Düsseldorf, Gregor Gleiwitz lets sunlight guide his brush, layering color and texture to chronicle fleeting moments. Across continents, these small galleries offer big ideas—proof that innovation thrives where you least expect it, and art’s pulse beats loudest off the beaten path.
