Bascha Mon's Kin Terrains at Tappeto Volante Surveys Six Decades of Painting

Right now, you can check out "Kin Terrains," a solo show featuring Bascha Mon's artwork at Tappeto Volante in New York, which runs until October 24, 2026. Paola Gallio, the gallery's founder, has curated a collection of Mon's pieces, including paintings, encaustic works, sculptures, and paper art, created between the early '80s and 2025. Born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1932, Mon has been an artist for over sixty years, working in her Long Valley studio. A sign on her studio door reads, "Beware. Some of the works here may just be a TERRIBLE START. They will become something." The space showcases vibrant panels, encaustic heads, and distorted oil paintings, with titles like "Comfy Chair Floats on the Magic Carpet" and a 2012 piece, "Paddling and Feeling Silly or Goofy Ghost Riders," measuring 122 by 122 cm. Her work is said to reflect influences from Matisse, Klee, and post-Impressionist styles. Photos of her studio are from September 2026.
