Kylie Manning (b. 1983, Juneau, Alaska) is a Brooklyn-based painter whose luminous, large-scale works balance abstraction and figuration through ethereal forms and layered color. Drawing on her upbringing in coastal Alaska and Mexico, Manning infuses her compositions with memories of vast landscapes and shifting light. Her genderless figures emerge and recede within expansive atmospheres, inviting open interpretation while reflecting on identity, nature, and the sublime. Grounded in rigorous technique, her paintings reference both Old Masters and contemporary feminist sensibilities.
Recent solo exhibitions include There is something that stays at Pace Gallery, New York; Yellow Sea at Space K Museum, Seoul; and You Into Me, Me Into You, a collaboration with choreographer Christopher Wheeldon for the New York City Ballet.
Her work is included in the collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art, ICA Miami, Columbus Museum of Art, and Yuz Museum.
Ilana Savdie (b. 1986, Miami, FL; raised between Miami and Colombia) is a Brooklyn-based artist whose large-scale, visceral paintings explore themes of performance, excess, survival, and transgression. Her work combines vivid, intoxicating color with textured, exuberant surfaces to create uncanny abstractions that are both seductive and unsettling. Drawing from art history, horror films, biology, and politics, Savdie examines how bodies are shaped, controlled, and contested—positioning the body as a site of vulnerability, resistance, and transformation. Her paintings reflect on the psychological and societal responses to collective crisis, probing the tension between individual agency and systemic power.
Recent solo exhibitions include Radical Contractions at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York and Glottal Stop at White Cube New York. Savdie was a recipient of the 2025 Creative Capital Award.
The artist’s work is represented in prominent museum collections, including the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Centre Pompidou, SFMOMA, and the Whitney Museum of American Art.
