MATHIEU CHERKIT
Mothership
525 West 22nd Street
Mothership is the highly anticipated New York debut of French painter Mathieu Cherkit. Cherkit’s interiors that possess a dreamlike quality, where scale and perspective are fluid, not fixed.
Here, objects swell beyond proportion, architectural features shift as if seen from multiple vantage points, and colors have the warm familiarity of a hazy memory; the result is not a rational reconstruction of the home, but a chronicle of how we internalize space.
Shannon Finley, Polygoner, 2025,
Acrylic on linen, 59 x 45 1/4 inches.
SHANNON FINLEY
Mutations
515 West 22nd Street
At first glance, Shannon Finley’s transparent geometries suggest polygonal blueprints, or nets of three dimensional objects rendered in mid-collapse; depth wavers, surfaces breathe, shapes drift toward figuration, and settle back into abstraction.
Despite the precision and intention of his process, he resists imposing meaning on the works; his hypnotic images are not fixed, but a shifting invitation for viewers to construct their own perceptions from within the haze. In his own words, Finley’s “focus is on finding a language that functions for everyone.”
Emily Weiner, Passing Through, 2025,
Oil on linen in painted wood frame, 61 1/2 x 46 1/2 x 2 inches.
EMILY WEINER
Now Eve, We’re Here, We’ve Won
511 West 22nd Street
Emily Weiner’s first solo exhibition at Miles McEnery Gallery features hypnotic scenes that hover between the conscious and subconscious. Using symmetry, architectural cues, and planetary bodies, her compositions are trance-like and deeply resonant, luring the viewer into and beyond the painted surface.
Most recently, Weiner began using CNC milling to shape her panels, employing trigonometric and logarithmic equations to create three-dimensional, tactile surfaces. Her use of Fibonacci sequences and wave functions subtly reference the underpinnings of the universe, the hidden mathematical rhythm that governs our existence. With a finely tuned balance of the technical and the intuitive, Weiner gives form to something just out of reach: a collective memory taking shape.
