AMSTERDAM—Anthony Gallery is pleased to announce “All My Jewelry,” a solo exhibition by Daniel Fleur. Opening May 22, 2026, the exhibition explores the intersection of beauty, material desire, and social hierarchy.

Fleur bridges art history and contemporary visual culture by applying the meticulous techniques of the Old Masters to modern fragments. In this series, the polished surfaces of jeweled adornments stand in sharp contrast to the softness of the body, creating a visual tension between material and flesh. Moving beyond his earlier ambiguity, Fleur engages directly with shared visual culture—from cinematic touchstones like Breakfast at Tiffany’s to icons such as Princess Diana and Pharrell Williams.

Through these works, adornment operates as a visual dialogue across multiple registers—intimate and performative, personal and collective. Objects of desire emerge as sites of negotiation, captured in the fleeting tension between the rush of acquisition and the eventual slip into the ordinary.

Opening Reception: Friday, May 22nd from 18:00–20:00 CET. RSVP at the link in bio! We look forward to welcoming you.

Nate Young is an interdisciplinary artist whose work challenges traditional artistic production by engaging with issues of race and racialization. He explores how systems and objects shape beliefs, often addressing theological themes through text, diagrams, and architectural elements. By stripping away specific content, Young creates a universal lexicon of primordial signs—such as arrows, circles, and grids—that suggest meaning while remaining open to viewer interpretation. His meticulously crafted works embody a quiet gravitas, prompting a post-minimalist examination of authority, materiality, and the artist’s role.

Born in 1981 in Phoenixville, PA, Young lives and works in Chicago, IL. He holds an MFA from the California Institute of the Arts and a BA in Visual Arts Education from Northwestern College. Young is an Assistant Professor at the University of Illinois Chicago and has participated in notable exhibitions, including those at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and The Studio Museum in Harlem. His work is part of several prestigious collections, including the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. In 2021, he received the Joyce Foundation Artadia Award and is currently featured in the Tacoma Art Museum.

Young’s “In Black Untime #20” is featured in the group exhibition “Life Imitates Art,” curated by Hank Willis Thomas. On view through April 11, 2026.

Alec Egan (b. 1984, Los Angeles) lives and works in his hometown, where the city’s cinematic atmosphere and luminous palette deeply inform his practice. Rooted in storytelling, his works transform domestic interiors and landscapes into staged psychological spaces. Through thick impasto and dense patterns, mundane objects become charged with memory and longing.

Egan’s paintings unfold like chapters in a visual novel, each depicting a room in an imagined home. Recurring motifs—boots, vases, books—create emotional continuity, inviting viewers to piece together a narrative around an absent inhabitant. His maximalist surfaces, recalling mid-century interiors and the traditions of William Morris, transform decoration into a metaphor for the instability of memory.

Drawing from LA’s design vernacular, his work bridges fiction and reality. Though grounded in the material world, Egan’s work often tips into the surreal: waves flood carpeted rooms and spatial logic dissolves into dream. These moments of rupture mirror the isolation of domestic life—particularly against the backdrop of climate precarity. Themes of voyeurism blur the line between observer and subject, casting the viewer as both witness and participant.

Egan’s “Net Bag” is featured in the group exhibition “Life Imitates Art,” curated by Hank Willis Thomas. On view through April 11, 2026.

Tony Lewis (b. 1986, Los Angeles) lives and works in Chicago. In an ever-expanding engagement with drawing, Lewis harnesses graphite powder to confront social and political topics such as race, power, communication, and labor. The material provides a literal and conceptual foundation, as it is stretched, smudged, and spliced across found surfaces. Graphite is an inherently unruly medium; Lewis nurtures this dispersal, allowing the powder to settle upon and mark paper indiscriminately. For Lewis, the graphite-slick studio floor is a “tool the same way a pencil is a tool.”

Early in his practice, Lewis created site-specific floor drawings, but his move to the wall was prompted by the discovery of Life’s Little Instruction Book (1991). Enthralled by the book as an artifact of conventional American wisdom, Lewis realized its code of ethics promoted a blind regard for authority and made loaded assumptions based on gender and race. By reproducing these pages as large-scale wall drawings rendered in black screws and graphite-soaked rubber bands, Lewis exposes the covert authoritarianism of American culture. In his latest series—a “stepping stone” to poetry—he collages altered cells from the comic Calvin and Hobbes, pushing the boundaries of the “material” of language.

Lewis’s “Worth” is part of the group exhibition “Life Imitates Art” curated by Hank Willis Thomas. On view till March 28, 2026.

On View: “Life Imitates Art”

Okey Ofomata’s (b. 1997, Los Angeles, CA) paintings delve into a deeply introspective and multifaceted exploration of narrative and mood, intertwining personal history with broader social commentary. The artist’s process begins with crafting narratives that span diverse locations and ideas, unified by common thematic threads. Drawing from a rich array of references—including films, literature, and personal observations—Ofomata creates works that traverse emotional landscapes marked by frustration, anxiety, reflection, and introspection. This emotional spectrum is balanced against settings that contrast the figures’ states, allowing moments of satire and reflection to emerge.

Recent solo exhibitions include You Should Get Some Sleep at Anthony Gallery, Chicago, IL (2025), Okey Ofomata: Respite at M+B, Los Angeles, CA (2024). Selected group exhibitions Nice To Finally Meet You at Good Mother Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2024), 30 Years of New Image Art at New Image Art Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2024), and Until it’s faced at New Image Art Gallery, Los Angeles, CA (2023).

Ofomata’s “As He Usually Does” is part of the group exhibition “Life Imitates Art” curated by Hank Willis Thomas. On view till April 11, 2026.

View Instagram Stories in Secret

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
