Karla Black
May 5–June 18, 2026
Rodder is pleased to announce Karla Black, the artist’s debut exhibition with the gallery and her first exhibition in New York since 2016. For this exhibition, Black transforms the gallery into a Rococo interior, painting directly on large mirrors with Baroque silhouettes, their scale and contours recalling palatial splendour, the dream of a bygone era marked with overexcess. A group of delicate, but monumental sculptures stand poised among the mirrors. Throughout the exhibition, Black employs her characteristic palette of pale hues and ephemeral materials to permeate the room with work marked by the unconscious.
