Cohle Gallery is pleased to present HERE NOT THERE, a solo exhibition by American artist Adam Handler.
Originally envisioned as a show focused on Handler’s iconic Girls, the project evolved after a conversation last summer while preparing an exhibition in Menorca. Asked if he had something new to share, the artist revealed a parallel body of work, dreamlike landscapes, painted intuitively as a way to breathe, to reset, to explore stillness in motion.
These new works, created almost as a quiet counterbalance to his figurative pieces, quickly drew strong interest and offered a new emotional dimension to the artist’s practice. In response, the gallery and artist chose to merge both directions, celebrating their contrast and complementarity.
HERE NOT THERE explores the tension between presence and distance, the familiar and the unknown. Through open skies, abstract paths, and tender silhouettes, the exhibition invites viewers into a space suspended between worlds, not quite here, not quite there.
Located just across from the Tuileries Garden, the gallery becomes the perfect setting for this new kind of promenade through Adam Handler’s inner landscapes.
