📢 OPENING SEPT. 8 | “Miles to Go Before We Sleep,” a solo exhibition by Humaira Abid, opens September 8 at Pentimenti. 🥂 Reception Thursday, September 10 | 6–8 PM 🗓️ Exhibition Dates September 8–October 24, 2026 “Time is not simply passing—it is calling us to act. Each carved clock becomes an archive of moments when ordinary people chose to act. The alarm clock is transformed from a familiar object into both a warning and a wake-up call, preserving moments when voices joined together to challenge injustice and demand change. These works are not only about protest; they are about responsibility. They ask what we choose to do with the time we are given, and whether silence becomes a choice of its own. A clock usually measures the passing of time. Here, it asks a different question: What are we doing with the time we have?” —Humaira Abid Images I – III - The Time Is Now: Immigrants, 6 × 4 × 2.125 inches / 15 × 10 × 5 cm, turned and carved pine, pigments on handmade wasli paper, Tru Vue Optium Museum Acrylic, 2026 taken in Pentimenti by @pentimentigallery

📢 OPENING SEPT. 8 | “Waves Become Wings,” a solo exhibition by Erik Spehn, opens September 8 at Pentimenti. 🥂 Reception Thursday, September 10 | 6–8 PM 🗓️ Exhibition Dates September 8–October 24, 2026 “Operating within self-imposed compositional and procedural parameters, these works continue to explore notions that arise from the philosophical concept of principium individuationis, as well as its dissolution, blurring the lines between field and figure, objectivity and subjectivity. Rigid Apollonian systems of order are juxtaposed against Dionysian gestural mark-making, acknowledging the inherent mercurial and chaotic nature of paint itself, and the architecture necessary to constrain it.” —Erik Spehn Images I – II - Star-Crossed, 54 x 54 inches / 137 x 137 cm, acrylic on linen on shaped panel, 2026 taken in Pentimenti by @pentimentigallery

This year, @thearmoryshow took over the Javits Center from September 24 to 27, 2026. Philadelphia galleries, print workshops, and artists held their own among the biggest names in the market, from Leroy Johnson’s assemblage sculptures to Brandywine’s five decades of printmaking. Here’s a round-up of booths with ties to Philadelphia at The Armory Show 2026. If I missed any, leave them in the comments! Image credits: The Armory Show, Booth 435, PENTIMENTI.

Hay carreteras que también pueden ser retratos. Desde hace más de una década, Namwon Choi fotografía desde el tablero de su coche los caminos que recorre para visitar a su familia y los transforma en paisajes azules donde la distancia adquiere un peso emocional. En sus obras no aparecen personas. Círculos, flechas y octágonos recuperan las formas de las señales de tránsito, pero dejan de indicar hacia dónde ir para conservar el paisaje y la experiencia de estar en camino hacia alguien. Gabriela Gorab escribe sobre la obra de Namwon Choi, presentada por Pentimenti en The Armory Show, y sobre una artista que encontró en las carreteras una manera inesperada de hablar de familia, ausencia y distancia. Los invitamos a leer el artículo completo en el link de nuestra bio o en revista-liber.org by @pentimentigallery

📣 MUSEUM ACQUISITION – Pentimenti is thrilled to announce the acquisition of Sarah Pater’s “Nine cherries at dusk” by the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts in Philadelphia, PA. Sarah Pater’s paintings explore the subtle value of time, the aesthetics of domestic and work environments, and the in-between spaces of contemporary life where boredom and attention often blur. Her works unfold slowly—both in their making and in their viewing—guided by self-imposed systems that sustain a meditation on stillness, attention, and perception itself. Through recurring motifs such as windows and desks, she creates suspended visual spaces where meaning emerges gradually through repeated, careful observation. With sincere thanks to Leah Triplett, Curator of Contemporary Art, as well as the Selection Committee and generous patrons. Your support made this acquisition possible, and we are deeply grateful to celebrate Sarah Pater’s first work entering a museum’s permanent collection. The PAFA museum inspires the public by expanding the stories of American art through its collections, exhibitions, and programs. Images I -II - Nine cherries at dusk, 12 × 9 inches / 30.5 × 23 cm, oil and wax on canvas on panel, 2025. Image III - Nine cherries at dusk & Studio View “Nine Cherries at Dusk” was included in Pentimenti’s fall 2025 solo exhibition Chimera, a well-received presentation of Sarah Pater’s work. by @pentimentigallery
