LA Art Show 2026

Pontone Gallery is pleased to announce our participation in the upcoming edition of LA Art Show, one of the longest-running and most established art fairs in the United States. Held in Los Angeles, a city shaped by image-making, cinema, and cultural hybridity, the fair offers a vital platform for dialogue between international contemporary practices and a distinctly West Coast sensibility.

For LA Art Show, the galleries present a focused selection of artists whose practices span figuration, abstraction, and realism, united by a rigorous attention to materiality, surface, and psychological depth. The presentation reflects the shared ethos of Pontone Gallery: a commitment to artists who pair technical precision with emotional and conceptual resonance.

Featured artists include:

• Heather Horton — richly articulated paintings immersing the viewer in an underwater world of refracted light, where a solitary figure swims, floats, or hovers within the artificial clarity of a swimming pool.
• Chris Rivers — gestural abstractions that evoke cosmic movement and elemental forces, balancing spontaneity with a deeply physical engagement with paint.
• Hwang Seontae — luminous, contemplative works that centre on light, emptiness, and architectural space, where minimal compositions invite prolonged looking and quiet reflection.
• Madeleine Gross — expressive figurative paintings that collapse personal narrative and collective memory, using bold colour and fluid mark-making to convey emotional immediacy.
• Yigal Ozeri — meticulously rendered figurative works that blur the line between painting and photography, capturing fleeting moments of intimacy, presence, and natural light.

Participation in LA Art Show underscores the galleries’ ongoing commitment to building long-term relationships with collectors, curators, and institutions across the United States. Pontone Gallery look forward to engaging with new audiences and contributing to the dynamic conversations that define the fair.
