CURRENT
MATILDA FORSBERG
In Each Other’s Sun
Opening March 6, 2026
McBride / Dillman is pleased to announce a solo exhibition of new paintings by Matilda Forsberg, created during her residency at dot.ateliers in Accra, Ghana opening March 6 and running through April 5, 2026. This body of work marks a painterly shift in the artist’s practice, which has long drawn from her own story of migration and from the complexities of raising a multiracial child in a country where belonging is often contested. Forsberg’s paintings trace the fragile boundaries between past and present, self and place, inheritance and reinvention.
For much of her career, Forsberg has drawn from old family photographs sourced from relatives and friends, transforming these personal archives into paintings that honor overlooked histories and shared experiences. Her work has long served as a site of introspection—where memory, intuition, and lived experience converge.
UPCOMING
SARAH ALICE MORAN
Splat Daisies
Opening April 10, 2026
McBride / Dillman is thrilled to present Splat Daisies, a solo exhibition of dreamlike paintings and sculpture by Sarah Alice Moran, opening on April 10th with a reception from 6–8 pm and running through May 10th. Splat is a cartoon word and the spaces in these paintings draw on that system of suspended rationale. By loosening the rules of scale, gravity, and time, Moran creates dreamy pastoral scenes where humans, animals, and nature coexist without hierarchy. The show explores the quiet, almost mystical bonds between humans and animals, and the ways they shape our emotional lives.
PAST
STREET CORNER CONVERSATIONS:
SHARON BUTLER, WENDY FULENWIDER LISZT AND ARIEL MITCHELL
Opening January 16, 2025
Street Corner Conversations brings together Sharon Butler, Wendy Fulenwider Liszt, and Ariel Mitchell—three artists who approach abstraction as an active, embodied way of engaging the world. The exhibition’s title, borrowed from Vanessa Bell’s early foray into abstraction, places the works as voices in dialogue: distinct, overlapping, and rooted in the ongoing evolution of abstract painting. In this context, Street Corner Conversations positions abstraction as a meeting place—an intersection where lines of thought, gesture, and experience converge, overlap, or pass each other by.
The exhibition engages the political dimensions of painting without requiring overt narrative content. The politics of abstraction emerge through self-determination, refusal, attention, and persistence. Historically, women who pursued abstraction did so against cultural and institutional constraints; to claim time, space, and intellectual seriousness was itself a transgressive act. The works on view extend that lineage, asserting abstraction not as withdrawal from the world but as a way of engaging it—through material choices, through the body, and through the slow, accumulative processes of making.
ADRIENNE ELISE TARVER
Opening November 14, 2025
McBride / Dillman is proud to present a new exhibition by Adrienne Elise Tarver, opening November 14 with a reception from 6–8 pm and on view through the new year. In her most ambitious installation to date, Tarver transforms the gallery into a richly layered mid-century domestic space inhabited by Vera Otis, the long-standing fictional subject of her paintings.
Vera’s story is entwined with intergenerational omens—images and objects that carry knowledge, warning, and memory across time, from past to present to future. Within this imagined home, Tarver conceives of the walls themselves as protective vessels, holding and transmitting these fragments across generations. In this way, the installation becomes not only a space for Vera, but also a threshold between eras—piercing into the past while opening toward the future.
ELISA SOLIVEN
Hybrid House
September 6 - October 26, 2025
McBride / Dillman is proud to present Elisa Soliven: Hybrid House, the first solo exhibition of the New York-based sculptor with the gallery. Drawing from personal memory, natural remnants, and ancient iconography, Soliven’s ceramic works blur the line between portraiture and relic, biology and mythology. The show opens September 6th and runs through October 25th, marking the gallery’s continued commitment to showcasing rigorous, embodied practices that resist easy classification.
SUMMER GROUP EXHIBITION
Interior Worlds / Exterior Myths
June 26 - August 23, 2025
McBride / Dillman is excited to present a summer group show, Interior Worlds / Exterior Myths opening June 26, 2025 at 195 Henry Street. The exhibition captures a generational instinct to mythologize the self—blending personal memory, everyday life, and cultural narrative into visually magnetic forms. In a diverse city like New York, where self-representation and storytelling are currency, the show is timely and sharp, resonating in a place that thrives on strong perspectives.
Works will be on view by Elisa Soliven, Viraj Khanna, Adrienne Elise Tarver, Jessica Alazraki, Sam Bornstein, Jared Deery, Mary DeVincentis, Jay Dong, Marissa Graziano, Ronald Hall, Patty Horing, Marta Lee, Wendy Fulenwider Liszt, Bascha Mon, and Vanessa Gully Santiago.
JESSICA ALAZRAKI
The Shape of Home
May 9 - June 21, 2025
McBride / Dillman is thrilled to present Jessica Alazraki: The Shape of Home as the inaugural exhibition in our new gallery at 195 Henry Street in Manhattan opening May 9 and running through June 21, 2025. The Shape of Home is both a title and a statement of purpose - it is a deliberate act of positioning, an opening gesture that chooses vulnerability over spectacle, community over trend, and personal storytelling over grandstanding. The exhibition explores the meaning of home when carried across borders, when it is inherited through memory, reimagined by migration, and held together with thread and community.
