Alina Perez and J. Carino at James Cohan

Works by Alina Perez and J. Carino are included in Arcadia and Elsewhere, a group exhibition at James Cohan, on view from January 12 - February 10, 2024.

 

Arcadia and Elsewhere anchors landscape painting in the myriad portrayals of Arcadian landscapes, which portray nature as an idealized foil to the torrents of human civilization, stretching back into antiquity. The exhibition highlights the enduring prevalence of the landscape in contemporary painting, building connections between both established and emerging artists furtively engaged in the depiction of our natural surroundings as enduring sites of significance, while expanding and complicating the loaded ways in which landscape manifests as a form unto itself.
