In its August 2026 edition of 'Artists on Our Radar,' Artsy showcases five influential artists who have recently made waves in the art scene through new gallery shows, exhibitions, auctions, art fairs, or innovative pieces on Artsy. Among them is Alex Maceda, a 1989-born artist from the San Francisco Bay Area, now based in New York City. Her intimate biomorphic paintings reflect her Filipina roots and deep Catholic upbringing, resembling domestic altars for meditation. Her inaugural solo show at Half Gallery, 'Sun Salutations,' runs until August 13th and is inspired by pioneering spiritual artists like Hilma af Klint and Agnes Pelton. Another highlighted artist is Almo Talud, whose piece 'No hay sol en el Verano' (2026) is exhibited at Eric Firestone Gallery. The complete list of featured artists can be found on Artsy’s website.
