Ann Agee (b. 1959) is a pioneer in a generation of feminist ceramicists who have brought the medium to the forefront of contemporary discourses on sculpture. Through her practice, Agee engages ambiguous delineations between fine art, design, and craft; histories of cultural appropriation and exchange; and the range of women’s lived experiences. She earned her BFA from the Cooper Union School of Art in 1981 and her MFA from the Yale School of Art in 1986. Her work has been included in notable group exhibitions, including 1994’s Bad Girls, New Museum, NY; 2009’s Dirt on Delight, Institute of Contemporary Art, PA and Walker Art Center, MN; and 2008’s Conversations in Clay, Katonah Art Museum, NY. In 2024, she was honored with Cooper Union’s Augustus Saint-Gaudens Award, previously having received a John Simon Guggenheim Fellowship, The Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, and a National Endowment for the Arts Fellowship, among others. Her works are included in the permanent collections of notable institutions including the Brooklyn Museum of Art, Brooklyn, NY; Philadelphia Museum of Art, Philadelphia, PA; RISD Art Museum, Providence, RI; Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; Henry Art Museum, Seattle, WA; Kohler Art Center, Sheboygan, WI; Peréz Art Museum, Miami, FL; and Museum of Contemporary Art, Miami, FL. Agee’s work was exhibited as part of To Begin Again: Artists and Childhood at the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, MA and manifesto of fragility, the 16th Lyon Biennale of Contemporary Art, Lyon, France. Her first institutional solo show in New England, Madonna of the Girl Child, was on view at the Currier Museum, Manchester, NH, in Spring 2025.

Oscillating between a highly stylized technique and uncanny realism, Srijon Chowdhury (b. 1987) crafts prismatic compositions that mine elements from daily life to find the universal in the quotidian. Combining interests in philosophy, religion, ecology, and art history, Chowdhury’s intensely saturated and hypnotic compositions transform the artist’s immediate environment into immersive dreamscapes where the boundaries between metaphysical and physical reality dissolve into the mythological and supernatural. Chowdhury was born in Dhaka, Bangladesh, and lives and works in Portland, OR, where he and Anna Margaret ran the exhibition space Chicken Coop Contemporary. He holds a BFA from the University of Minnesota Twin Cities and an MFA from the Otis College of Art and Design, Los Angeles, CA. He has been awarded grants from the Oregon Arts Commission, 2018; Regional Arts and Culture Council, 2018; Precipice Fund (Andy Warhol Foundation, Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, & Calligram Foundation), 2017; and the Otis Governors Grant, 2012. Chowdhury has presented solo exhibitions at Frye Art Museum, Seattle, WA; CFA Live, Milan, Italy; and Antoine Levi, Paris, France; among others. His work has been included in group shows at the FLAG Art Foundation, New York, NY; François Ghebaly, Los Angeles, CA; Franz Kaka, Toronto, Canada; Chapter NY, New York, NY; Nir Altman, Munich, Germany; Santa Monica Museum of Art, Santa Monica, CA; and Torrance Art Museum, Torrance, CA; among others. Chowdhury’s work was recently showcased in the 2024 Artists’ Biennial in Portland, OR. Concurrent with his co-curation of the Frye Art Museum’s group exhibition Door to the Atmosphere, the institution held Chowdhury’s first solo museum exhibition Same Old Song in 2022, coinciding with a publication of the same name. Tapestry, Chowdhury’s debut solo exhibition with P·P·O·W, was on view in Fall 2024. His fifth solo exhibition with Ciaccia Levi, Paris France, and Milan, Italy, The Whorled, was presented in Fall 2025. Chowdhury’s Spotlight presentation at the FLAG Art Foundation, New York, NY, is currently on view.

In the paintings of Owen Fu (b. 1988), often depicting surreal domestic scenes cast in a nocturnal glow, ghostly figures and inanimate objects merge as the distinctions between reality, dreams, and memory disintegrate. Drawing from centuries-old traditions of ink wash painting, Fu’s works expose the mysterious emotional landscape residing beneath the surface of ordinary life. Fu was born in Guilin, China. He completed his MFA in 2018 at the ArtCenter College of Design, Pasadena, CA, preceded by a BA in Philosophy from the Stony Brook University, New York, NY, and a BA in Fine Art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, IL. He has presented solo exhibitions at Balice Hertling, Paris, France; Antenna Space, Shanghai, China; O-Town House, Los Angeles, CA; Gallery Platform LA, Los Angeles, CA; Mine Project, Hong Kong, China; Art Center Main Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; and New York Art Expo, New York, NY; among others. He has been featured in group exhibitions at Marian Goodman Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Antenna Space, Shanghai, China; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Gagosian Hong Kong, China; and Balice Hertling, Paris, France; among others. His work was included in the 2022 Beijing Biennial, Magic Square: Art and Literature in Mirror Image at Friendship Art Community, Beijing, China. His works belong to the collections of numerous international institutions including the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, CA; Domus Collection, New York, NY; K11 Art Foundation, Hong Kong, China; START Museum, Shanghai, China; George Economou Collection, Athens, Greece; Aïshti Foundation, Beirut, Lebanon; G Museum, Nanjing, China; and the Juan and Patricia Vergez Collection, Buenos Aires, Argentina; among others. Fu presented his first solo exhibition with P·P·O·W, Own Alone, at the start of 2025. Wang Lai, his second solo exhibition with Antenna Space, was on view in Fall 2025.

Since first exhibiting with P·P·O·W in 1986, Joe Houston (b. 1962) has distilled timely environmental and social concerns into rigorously executed paintings and works on paper of commonplace, middle-American subjects. His nuanced, exactingly rendered works serve as meditations on the endeavor of painting in our precarious time. Houston pursued undergraduate studies at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, IL, and earned his MFA from Northwestern University’s Department of Art Theory & Practice, Chicago, IL. He first showed at P·P·O·W in 1986 and 1993, returning for his third exhibition with the gallery, Ruins, in 2018, featuring a series of intimate paintings centered on the damaged genitalia of ancient Greek and Roman sculptures. In his review of the exhibition for Brooklyn Rail, Jason Rosenfeld wrote, “…it is equally a rumination on male fragility, emasculation, helplessness in COVID, post-Renaissance priggish iconoclasm, and poor restoration techniques. Ultimately, the work signals a cautionary tale about societal and political hubris, forming a finely-weighted provocation.” Houston’s honors include an Illinois Arts Council Fellowship, a Pollock-Krasner Foundation Grant, and residencies at Yaddo, MacDowell, and the Bemis Foundation. Houston’s work is in numerous public collections including the Allen Memorial Arts Museum, Oberlin, OH; MIT List Visual Arts Center, Cambridge, MA; RISD Museum, Providence, RI; Vehbi Koç Foundation, Istanbul, Turkey; and Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, CT.

For Gerald Lovell (b. 1992), painting is an act of biography. Combining flat and impressionistic painting with thick daubs of impasto, Lovell creates monumental, loving scenes often lost to the abyss of memory. His portraits refuse the notion that all Black figures put down on canvas are somehow political. Rather, his work records a deep commitment to fostering alternative community narratives by imbuing his subjects with social agency and self-determinative power, while also revealing individualistic details that lay their essential humanity bare. Born in Chicago, IL, and raised in Atlanta, GA, Lovell currently lives and works in New York City. He has exhibited at P·P·O·W, New York, NY; Jeffrey Deitch, Moore Building, Miami, FL; Anthony Gallery, Chicago, IL; Kohn Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture, Charlotte, NC; MINT, Atlanta, GA; and Galerie Peter Kilchmann, Zurich, CH; among others. In 2022, Lovell’s work was on view in What is Left Unspoken, Love at the High Museum of Art, Atlanta, GA, and featured in a concurrent publication with DelMonico Books. His work is now in the museum's permanent collection, as well the public collections of the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA; Vanhaerents Art Collection, Brussels, Belgium; Munson Art Institute, Utica, NY; and Wedge Collection, Toronto, Canada; among others. Lovell completed the Fountainhead Artists Residency in October 2023. Featuring pieces honoring the terrains of his past and expressing gratitude for new horizons, his second exhibition with P·P·O·W, verde, was held in Spring 2024. His artistic process was discussed in The Work of Art: How Something Comes from Nothing, published by Penguin Press. His work was most recently on view in the three-person show Outside at Hawkins HQ, Atlanta, GA.

Multidisciplinary artist Pepón Osorio (b. 1955) has pioneered a type of artmaking prioritizing social engagement. His richly textured sculptures and installations examine political and cultural injustices affecting Latinx and working-class communities in the United States. Developed through long-term conversations and collaborations, Osorio’s work is further distinguished by creating and displaying his installations with and in a community before ever entering an art institution. In Purifier, 2011, the artist references the Puerto Rican belief that holding water close to the ceiling can dispel evil, reminding viewers of the weight a ready-made object can hold. Osorio lives and works between Philadelphia, PA and San Juan, Puerto Rico. He has presented solo exhibitions at Williams College Art Museum, Williamstown, MA; Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, PA; Museo de San Juan, Puerto Rico; Museo del Barrio, New York, NY; and Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid, Spain; among others. His work has been featured in group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; Los Angeles Museum of Modern Art, Los Angeles, CA; Setagaya Art Museum, Tokyo, Japan; Cleveland Institute of Art, Cleveland, OH; and more. Osorio is the recipient of numerous awards, including the Philadelphia’s Cultural Treasure Artist Fellowship, Guggenheim Fellowship, United States Artists Fellowship, and Distinguished Artist Award for Lifetime Achievement from the College Art Association. Pepón Osorio: My Beating Heart/Mi corazón latiente, the most comprehensive exhibition of Osorio’s work to date, was on view at the New Museum, New York, NY, in 2023. In Fall 2024, Philadelphia Contemporary and Thomas Jefferson University presented Pepón Osorio: Convalescence, a large-scale multimedia installation at Jefferson’s medical campus in Philadelphia, PA. 

Through mixed media paintings and illustrated ceramic vessels, Astrid Terrazas (b. 1996) creates symbolic work that re-writes worlds. With unflinching vulnerability, Terrazas conveys stories that push personal and communal trauma towards tangible healing. Working in an illustrative, highly detailed style, Terrazas’ multimedia paintings resemble a visual dream diary full of transient figures, archaic symbols, and illogical narratives. Merging dreamscapes, Mexican ancestral folklore, lived experiences, and unearthly transfigurations, Terrazas’ personal range of recurring motifs function as artifacts of protection and evoke universal metaphors of transformation. Terrazas received her BFA in Illustration from Pratt Institute in 2018. She has exhibited work at P·P·O·W, New York, NY; Y2K Group, New York, NY; Andrea Festa Fine Art, Rome, Italy; Marinaro, New York, NY; Fort Makers, New York, NY; Gern en Regalia, New York, NY; Front Gallery, Houston, TX; 98 Orchard St, New York, NY; Nicodim, New York, NY; Lyles & King, New York, NY; Art in Common, Los Angeles, CA; Deli Gallery, Mexico City, Mexico, and UTA Artist Space, Los Angeles, CA; among others. Her work has been featured in articles in Art in America, Art Maze Mag, The Art Newspaper, and The Brooklyn Rail. Terrazas was featured in 52 Artists: A Feminist Milestone at The Aldrich Contemporary Museum of Art, Ridgefield, CT in 2022 and Perhaps the Truth at Ballroom Marfa, Marfa, TX in 2023. In 2024, Terrazas presented solo exhibitions with Lodos Gallery at Condo Mexico City, Mexico, and FOUNDRY SEOUL, South Korea.

A documenter of the constellation of social life, Martin Wong (1946-1999) developed innovative approaches to technique and form, creating rich surfaces and intricate details from astrology, architectural space, modes of language, and a wide-ranging art historical canon. These gestures are on full display in the larger-than-life multi-panel composition Tai Ping Tien Kuo, 1982, on view for the first time in nearly forty years. Titularly referencing the Taiping Rebellion, this composition is one of the first “Chinatown” works Wong completed after he relocated to New York in 1978, a series the artist would return to throughout the 1980s and 90s, in which he visually elevated Asian and Asian-American history to be on par with the Western historical canon. Wong’s work is represented in the collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY; Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY; The Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York, NY; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; Cleveland Museum of Art, Cleveland, OH; Art Institute of Chicago, Chicago, IL; the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, CA; and Tate, London, UK; among others. The comprehensive retrospective Human Instamatic opened at the Bronx Museum of The Arts in November 2015, before traveling to the Wexner Center for the Arts in 2016 and the UC Berkeley Art Museum and Pacific Film Archive in 2017. From 2022 to 2024, the first extensive exhibition of Wong’s work in Europe, Martin Wong: Malicious Mischief, debuted at the Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo in Madrid, traveling to the KW Institute for Contemporary Art in Berlin and the Camden Art Centre in London, before concluding at the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam. The artist’s work has most recently been included in prominent group presentations at the Whitney Museum, New York, NY; Sharjah Biennial 16, United Arab Emirates; and Museum of Modern Art, New York, NY. In Spring 2026, a major retrospective focusing on Wong’s Chinatown series will open at Wrightwood 659 in Chicago, IL, and will include Tai Ping Tien Kuo.
