Eliza Douglas's Ghosts Haunt Gagosian Park&75
Eliza Douglas's exhibition 'Fantasmi' opens at Gagosian Park&75 in New York, curated by Francesco Bonami, running until July 31, 2026. The show explores a present increasingly pervaded by AI and the imminent arrival of Artificial Superintelligence (ASI). Douglas's fluid, illusionistic painting blends silhouettes, motifs, self-portraits, and recurring traces. She aims to create work that resists easy classification as abstract or figurative, gestural or procedural. The exhibition incorporates UV prints overlaid on paint, including photographs by her aunt Leslie Kean, an investigative journalist known for reporting on UFO phenomena. These layered images evoke a precarious, unknowable body, reflecting a circular, self-consuming ouroboros. Douglas has previously collaborated with Balenciaga and created series such as 'Parole' (2023) and 'BANG!'.
