Where's the Frame?

a fresh online gallery to discover the newest generation of artists

03/05/2026

Curated by Claudia Cheng and on view until May 23rd, ‘Portals of Transcendence’ presents works from Anna Pakosz, Freya Fang Wang, and Meryl Yana in dialogue with Helen Frankenthaler.

Anna Pakosz (b. 1991, Budapest) works on large, unprimed surfaces, favoring physical interaction over compositional intention. Her staining processes involve dye, rust, and material degradation, creating a visual language where materiality and spontaneity merge to reveal visceral gestures of becoming.

Thank you to everyone who joined us last Wednesday night at the opening of ‘Portals of Transcendence’, guest curated by Claudia Cheng. The group show is now on view at Night Café Gallery until May 23rd, featuring ‘Cosmic Fantasia’ by Freya Fang Wang. Wang is presented alongside Helen Frankenthaler and two other contemporary artists, Anna Pakosz and Meryl Yana.

The exhibition considers abstraction as a material practice where space is produced, extended, and transformed. These contemporary works adapt and extend Frankenthaler’s post-war abstraction, letting painting operate as a threshold between material and immaterial states.

Night Café is thrilled to present a two-person presentation at Art Brussels 2026 until this Sunday, bringing together works by Marco Bizzarri and Ellie Pearch.

Ellie Pearch (b. 1994, London) is a London-based artist working across sculpture and installation. Her practice examines the standardised apparatus of domestic and urban life, drawing out underlying vulnerabilities, intimacies, and narratives. Using materials such as cardboard, coat hooks, toilet paper, and concrete, the work focuses on their formal qualities, proximity, weight, roughness, and rigidity—where material properties intersect with emotional states and relationship dynamics.

Ellie Pearch, ‘Don’t know where, don’t know when’, 2026. Bronze, glass, ceramic, birch ply.

Art Brussels opens today.

Night Café presents a two person presentation at Art Brussels 2026, bringing together works by Marco Bizzarri and Ellie Pearch.

Marco Bizzarri (b. 1988, Santiago) is a Chilean painter based outside London. His practice explores time, memory, and the persistence of what seems lost. Working with dust as both material and metaphor, it functions as a witness and archive of histories that remain partially unknowable. Returning to the Atacama Desert in Northern Chile, his work traces abandoned towns and objects, where decay unfolds and light renders dust as a tangible presence.

Last days to visit Lucy Neish’ solo ‘Better than I expected, worse than I hoped’.

These are details of the largest painting in the exhibition, ‘St Giles’, which is based on a photograph taken in the churchyard behind the artist’s house. The composition of this large-scale landscape is structured through broad planes of paint layered with loose, reaching gestures. The palette remains low in contrast, with subtle shifts in tone rather than sharply defined forms. Within the painting, the ground operates as the most stable plane, anchoring the composition, while the tree branches arc swirlingly toward the viewer, subtly enclosing the pictorial space.

Lucy Neish’ solo show ‘Better than I expected, worse than hoped’ continues this week and will be open during Easter Friday & Saturday.

“I’m interested in micro-looking: this sort of painstaking attention to something transient, paired with these larger, looser paintings of place,” she explains. Creating landscapes of places close to her, she returns to the churchyard behind her house or the park at the top of the hill. “In some ways, I yearn and fiend for a perfect memory,” she observes, “but I have to maintain a loose grip when translating it into painting.”

Art Rotterdam continues this weekend!

We’re thrilled to present a solo presentation by Mandy Franca with works from the series ‘An Area of Land Dominated by Trees’.

Come find us at the new art section curated by booth L-03.

Art Rotterdam continues today! Come find us at the New Art Section L-03 where we show a solo presentation by Mandy Franca.

Mandy Franca is a Rotterdam-based artist who researches the influence of the digital realm on artefacts, mundanity and the influence of migration.

Franca’s work is an ongoing investigation into the notion of interconnectedness, drawing from life experiences which are informed by growing up in a cross-cultural environment and her personal archive. She researches and observes the meaning of mundanity to give eternal value to seemingly insignificant places, moments and objects. As a result the notion of preserving languages, traditions, domestic settings and everyday objects in a state of flux — meaning — digital and physical due to digitalization and globalization, takes precedence in her work. Franca’s priority is to bring the individual experience into a broader communal context and show the parallels between our common needs, objects and experiences with the notion of care as a fundamental aspect of being.

Opening this Thursday at Ahoy in Rotterdam, Night Café presents a solo presentation of Mandy Franca in the New Art Section of the 27th edition of Art Rotterdam.

On view from 26–29 March 2026, booth L3.

The presentation includes a selection from ‘An Area of Land Dominated by Trees’. In this series, Franca draws from the opening sentence of Wikipedia’s description of a ‘forest’, examining diverse realities and forms of intelligence that extend beyond the human, encompassing contemporary technology and the natural world within a more-than-human context.

Franca has been nominated for the NN Art Award. Now in its tenth edition, the annual prize recognises artists exhibiting at Art Rotterdam who have graduated from a Dutch institution, supporting the visibility and development of emerging talent. The winner will be announced on Friday 27 March at Kunsthal Rotterdam.

Lucy Neish’s solo exhibition ‘Better than I expected, worse than hoped’ is now on view at Night Café until April 11.

As part of the exhibition, Neish presents a group of small-scale graphite drawings depicting rabbits. Rendered with careful precision, each work isolates its subject from any clear context, at first recalling natural history illustration or anatomical study. The titles introduce a subtle shift, revealing unexpected origins that reframe how the images are read.

These drawings extend Neish’s attention to close observation and translation. Hours of work goes into documenting these images that might otherwise pass in an instant, bringing into focus the tension between time, attention, and the fleeting nature of what is seen and remembered.

Reality slips and distorts to fit certain narratives. When can we trust our memories to be reliable narrators, when in truth they so often fail us?
