GOCA by Garde is pleased to announce “Chromatic Field,” a group exhibition of eight artists, on view at DASSAI gallery by GOCA in Hyde Park, New York, from September 13, 2026. The exhibition takes the color wheel as its subject and turns it toward a group of artists working, for the most part, in New York. On a wheel, each hue keeps its own character, receives its outline from the hues beside it, and answers the one across from it. “Chromatic Field” applies that relationship to a group, replacing individual color with the cultural background, memory, and sensibility each artist brings to the studio: abstraction and representation; vivid and pastel; flat and dimensional. The motifs and palettes range widely, and each reads as a color belonging to that artist alone. Where works of different colors sit side by side, overlap, and on occasion contradict one another, so that each is seen differently for its neighbor, a field takes shape in the room. Participating Artists Sunny Moxin Chen, Jess Xiaoyi Han, Hafsa Nouman Qureshi, HeroK (Youngwoong Kim), Kanta Kimura, Yuya Saito, Takura Suzuki, and Theresia Zhang.

GOCA by Garde is pleased to announce “Chromatic Field,” a group exhibition of eight artists, on view at DASSAI gallery by GOCA in Hyde Park, New York, from September 13, 2026. The gallery is GOCA’s first satellite space, opened in June 2026 in partnership with Dassai Blue Sake Brewery. Chromatic Field is the second exhibition in that program, following the inaugural presentation of Mitsumasa Kadota. The exhibition takes the color wheel as its subject and turns it toward a group of artists working, for the most part, in New York. On a wheel, each hue keeps its own character, receives its outline from the hues beside it, and answers the one across from it. “Chromatic Field” applies that relationship to a group, replacing individual color with the cultural background, memory, and sensibility each artist brings to the studio: abstraction and representation; vivid and pastel; flat and dimensional.

“HIGH VISIBILITY” curated by Charlotte Hailstone Wu (@charsocray) is on view at GOCA Gallery, 515 West 23rd street through Saturday 8/29. The group exhibition features the work of twenty artists considering color as a tool for directing attention, shaping perception, and creating visual presence. Artist Highlight: Sunny Moxin Chen (@notsunnychen) “Untitled,” 2022 Acrylic, Chinese Ink, joint compound on wood 17 x 16 x 8 inches 43.2 x 40.6 x 20.3 cm “Confluence,” 2026 Acrylic on Canvas 36 x 24 x 1 ½ inches 91.4 x 61 x 3.8 cm “Untitled,” 2022: This work originated from a drawing titled Chambers in My Brain, created in 2019, and later evolved into this sculptural painting during my MFA at Boston University. It imagines the mind as an architectural landscape composed of interconnected chambers—some structured, some organic, and others still taking shape. By combining geometric planes with biomorphic relief, I explore the tension between structure and intuition, reason and emotion. Painted surfaces suggest systems of navigation, while sculptural forms emerge like living memories or neural growths, blurring the boundaries between landscape, body, and mind. “Confluence,” 2026: “Confluence” imagines identity as a landscape shaped by movement, convergence, and transformation. Layers of geometric planes intersect with flowing biomorphic forms, creating a space where the boundaries between body, landscape, and memory dissolve. A luminous center anchors the composition, suggesting an inner source of energy amid continuous change. —- Sunny Moxin Chen’s work traces the shifting relationship between internal emotional landscapes and external geographies, shaped by movement, neurodivergent perception, and transnational lived experience. Rooted in the Taoist concept of Dao, Chen’s practice embraces dualities—material and spiritual, abstract and figurative, chaotic and harmonious. Chen integrates Chinese ink, bold pigments, and everyday materials such as tea leaves, flower petals, and fragments of music, allowing these elements to converge into dynamic, layered spaces where memory, sensation, and place intersect.

We are delighted to announce “HIGH VISIBILITY,” a group exhibition curated by Charlotte Hailstone Wu (@charsocray), on view from Thursday, July 30-August 22 at our Chelsea location. Please join us for an opening reception on Thursday, July 30th from 6-8pm. RSVP via link in bio! “HIGH VISIBILITY” brings together artists whose work embraces color at its most vivid and immediate. Through bold form, saturated palettes, and strong compositions, the exhibition explores color as a tool for directing attention, shaping perception, and creating visual presence. Spanning abstraction and representation, the artists use color in different ways, as structure, material, atmosphere, and subject. Optical effects, pattern, gesture, and form each offer a different approach, but every work shares an immediacy that demands to be looked at. Rather than focusing on a single style, “HIGH VISIBILITY” highlights artists who use color with intention and conviction. Together, the works demonstrate the many ways chromatic intensity can command attention and transform the experience of looking. Featuring: Amy Yamamoto Anna Danyang Song Benny Or Sunny Moxin Chen Phoebe Kalm Choi Eri King Natsumi Goldfish Hafsa Nouman Herok Jess Xiaoyi Han Leah Huang Kiwha Lee Mia Dunn Minji Seo Naomi Basu Ray Hwang Takura Suzuki Taezoo Park Theresia Zhang Shangkai Kevin Yu … and more!
