On view-

While They Are Here- solo exhibition by Guy Stanley Philoche @guystanleyphiloche

Guy Stanley Philoche’s paintings present Black figures isolated against uninterrupted, solid color fields, creating spaces emptied of narrative distraction yet charged with symbolic weight. These monochrome grounds function as affective and political stages, allowing the figure to exist without environmental explanation or spectacle.

Children, families, and solitary subjects appear suspended in moments of quiet resolve, their gestures and gazes carrying histories of migration, aspiration, and self determination. Philoche’s restraint is deliberate: by refusing contextual excess, he asserts Black life as complete unto itself, unburdened by setting yet unmistakably grounded in lived experience. His recurring motifs, including hand painted flowers, text fragments, and everyday objects, operate as subtle signifiers of care, memory, and protection rather than nostalgia.

From Haiti to Sotheby’s — my latest painting, Little Ingrid, is officially up for auction in support of the Queens Museum.

This piece is about pride, presence, and the power of being seen.

This little girl would grow up to help change the wine industry. Today, we honor and give flowers to Ingrid Best — a visionary whose leadership continues to open doors and redefine what representation in wine looks like.

It’s only fitting that South Africa — a region rich in history, excellence, and innovation — is the first wine region we launch for the brand.

Give us our flowers.

Today I sit down with fine artist @guystanleyphiloche and @gallerygpg to talk art, creativity, community and culture in Harlem. Tune in @wbainyc and @mochapodcastsnetwork at 11am ET.

@harriettecole : "Haitian American artist Guy Stanley Philoche is celebrating people in real time through his current show, Give Us Our Flowers. From James Baldwin to Virgil Ablou and many divine young children of color, Philoche honors the culture. Check out our conversation and go visit his show @gallerygpg until June 14th."

Opening Reception Saturday April 25th, 6-9pm
RSVP link in bio

GPG presents a solo exhibition by Guy Stanley Philoche, following a major presentation at EXPO Chicago that resulted in significant institutional and private acquisitions, affirming the growing urgency and resonance of his practice.

Philoche’s paintings center Black presence within expansive fields of color, where restraint becomes a precise instrument for articulating memory, dignity, and self-possession. His figures, often drawn from lived experience and collective memory, occupy spaces that refuse distraction, allowing the weight of their presence to unfold with clarity and conviction.

This exhibition marks a return to Harlem, a site of ongoing inspiration within Philoche’s work. To present these paintings here is to situate them in direct dialogue with the community, histories, and daily realities that continue to shape their formation.

On view April 25 - June 13th, 2026
