New York galleries often curate under-recognized artists during the spring, showcasing talent that doesn’t quite reach mainstream recognition. This season is no exception, with Domenico Gnoli, Raquel Rabinovich and Mao Ishikawa among those whose work deserves more attention.

Domenico Gnoli’s paintings, such as 'L'inverno (Couple au Lit)', explore themes of intimacy with a clinical detachment. His works, while not widely known in the US, are part of vibrant exhibitions that challenge our perceptions of art and humor.

Raquel Rabinovich's minimalist works, like 'It Is So Dark It Is Transparent', delve into concepts of silence and withholding as a form of protest. Born in Argentina and based in Rhinebeck, her work reflects on political upheaval and cultural displacement.

Mao Ishikawa’s photography captures moments of celebration and community, from Okinawa to Philadelphia. Her self-portraits after a rectal cancer diagnosis reveal an unflinching gaze at personal struggles, adding depth to her vibrant images.
