Laura (the gallery) is pleased to announce our upcoming solo exhibition with Mexico-born, Houston-based artist, Ernesto Solana.

Another Sunset opens next Saturday, May 2, 12–2 PM.

Across new sculptures and photographs, Solana moves between cast bronze, cast aluminum, and large-format photography to trace what it means to watch a familiar sky from new ground; migration routes, borrowed materials, and the things cities leave behind. The gallery’s far wall is painted Barragán pink. There is a macaw feather resting on a brick of bronze. Come see it.

Houston Heights
May 2 – July 18, 2025

Last weekend to visit A Frog Tailor! Our inaugural presentation at Barely Fair, the 1:12 scale miniature art fair in Chicago, closes this Sunday, April 19.

Chang Sujung’s works were made by the “frog tailor,” a figure she became in a dream: a new occupation, a new body. In the Korean fable, the frog symbolizes the one who persists even when told not to, and in growing older, Chang reflects, there is no longer anyone left to rebel against but oneself.

For this presentation, she continues her exploration of textile and garment sculpture, scaling the work to fit the fair’s 1:12 format: sourcing vintage Barbie skirts, shaping them with internal armatures, and hardening them with a Dutch fabric glue, leaving each one with an uncanny resemblance to a vessel.

Barely Fair is located in McKinley Park, open daily 12–5pm through April 19. DM us for press or VIP passes.

Thank you to everyone who has visited so far!

Laura (the gallery) is pleased to present A Frog Tailor, a solo presentation of new work by Chang Sujung at Barely Fair 2026, marking the gallery’s first participation in the fair and its debut presentation in Chicago.

VIP opening tonight!

A Note from the Artist:

One night, I was a “frog tailor” in my dream. Nothing else happened. It was simply the realization of a new occupation in a new body. Like many people, when I have a peculiar dream, I try to trace it back, wondering why I had it and what it might mean.

I often think of myself as a frog. In Korean culture, derived from the fable of the tree frog, a frog symbolizes someone who does the opposite of what they are told, someone who persists even more when told not to. I think the dream came from my identification with the frog, intertwined with my daily studio work where I was spending long hours sewing garment components for new sculptures.

The moral of the story, which I probably read in first or second grade, made me think that I should listen to my mother more often. Revisiting the story as an adult, growing older means that there is no longer anyone left to rebel against. Ultimately, I can only rebel against myself. 

The works presented here were made by the “frog tailor,” as I imagine myself in the dream.

The fable of the tree frog:

Long ago, there lived a tree frog who always did the opposite of whatever his parents told him. When his mother was dying, her deepest wish was  to be buried in the mountains. But knowing that her son would surely do the opposite of whatever she might ask, she told him to bury her by the stream instead.

After she passed away, the frog felt deep regret for his lifelong disobedience. Wanting to honor her final words, he buried her by the stream just as she had asked. One night, during a terrible storm, the frog awoke, terrified that the rising water might wash her grave away. He rushed to the burial site only to find water. To this day, it is said that the growing sound of frogs croaking before a storm is actually the cries of this very frog crying out in sorrow for his mother.

One night, during a terrible storm, the frog awoke, terrified that the rising water might wash her grave away. He rushed to the burial site only to find water. To this day, it is said that the growing sound of frogs croaking before a storm is actually the cries of this very frog crying out in sorrow for his mother.

NADA Ceramics opens tomorrow! 4pm - 8pm in Tribeca <3 

I love NADA, NYC, and CERAMICS! Come by our booth to see new works by Komie Kim Le, Raina Lee, Gerardo Rosales and SunYoung Park. DM for our preview

Komie’s food-based porcelain works include kimchi jars, rice cooker pinch pots, steamer baskets, wall-mounted fish heads and foo dogs, and two large-scale maximalist vessels in her signature Viet-Texan style!

Raina Lee created a suite of new ceramic postcards depicting her memories from her favorite museum (and mine), The Met. The Temple of Dendur and Wisteria Room are resplendently rendered in her handmade glazes. 

Rosales’s clay experiments bring the motifs of his signature naif painting style into full relief as he etches them in the round in unexpected cloche and dome forms. 

SunYoung Park continues her exploration of the grotesque with a divine be-tassled fish wrapped in ruffly sea lettuce entrapped by a sinewy form and mounted from the wall. It’s a sight to behold!

On view now! Anthony Iacono: Sticky Fingers

Iacono reanimates the visual language of early modern portraiture, stripping away the face to amplify the hand as a site of disclosure. Frilled sleeves, doublets, ornamental objects drift free of their historical anchors, becoming queer signals untethered from fixed identity.

Through February 15, 2026

LAURA turns 2! Please join us this Saturday in The Heights to celebrate the opening of Anthony Iacono: Sticky Fingers, and the gallery’s second birthday!

Anthony Iacono: Sticky Fingers
Opening Reception
Sat December 13th, 12pm - 2pm
1125 E 11th St, Houston, TX

Laura (the gallery) is pleased to present a solo exhibition by Philadelphia-based artist Anthony Iacono, featuring a series of the artist’s signature cut-paper collages. Iacono uses carefully-washed and sliced paper to create ambiguous depictions of queer bodies, at once mysterious and erotic. Iacono’s moody and suggestive compositions at first appear to be digital images or airbrush paintings, but on closer inspection, they reveal crisp cuts and careful assembly. In this series of works, hands become Iacono’s primary subjects of exploration. Hands filch objects from the jackets of unwitting victims, caress bodies, and play with treasures. The exhibition opens Saturday, December 13 and runs through February 15, 2026.

About the artist
Anthony Iacono (b. 1987, Nyack, NY) earned his MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University in Sculpture + Extended Media, and a BFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York. He attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2013, and has been an artist-in-residence at the Museum of Arts and Design, the Sharpe-Walentas Studio Program, LMCC Workspace, and ISCP. He has had solo exhibitions at PPOW Gallery (2015, 2018), The Approach (2019), Capsule Shanghai (2020), The Spite Haus (2022), and Marinaro (2018, 2021, 2023), where he is represented. In 2017, he was a recipient of the Toby Devan Lewis Fellowship Award. He lives and works in Philadelphia.

A note from Laura: I can’t believe it’s already been TWO years since opening the gallery. In that time we’ve opened 8 exhibitions, participated in 3 art fairs, received press from Artforum, ArtNews, Whitewall Magazine, New American Paintings, Paper City Mag, Glasstire, etc, & built countless meaningful relationships. Thank you artists & art lovers!

Laura (the gallery) is pleased to participate ni NADA Miami 2025, taking place December 2 - 6 at Ice Palace Studios. Booth D301 brings together artists whose practices turn toward the mystical and the cosmological, drawing from traditions that include transcendentalism, ancestral ritual, and spiritual abstraction.

#shulingguo #nadamiami

NADA Miami opens today! Find us at Booth D301 🤍

We are excited to show a new painting by New Mexico based artist, Diego Medina. A member of the Piro Manso Tiwa Tribe and is its tribal historic preservation officer. His oil paintings of the sublime NM landscape are mythical geographies steeped in Christian symbology, New Mexican Catholic and Sephardi devotional traditions, and Pueblo esoteric knowledge.

Medina’s recent suite of paintings at SITE Santa Fe (curated by Cecelia Alemani, Chief Curator of The Highline and artistic director of the 59th Venice Biennale) situated his work in dialogue with Agnes Pelton and the New Mexico Transcendental Painting Group.

“My work underwent a transformation following my experiences with pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood. These physical and emotional changes sharpened my awareness of the body and self as vessels of both vulnerability and strength. I became drawn to themes and actions of growing, splitting, stitching, and healing.

The works emerge from memories of specific moments—holding my grandmother’s hand as she passed away, giving birth, and cradling my newborn daughter. At the same time, they address broader themes of transformation and regeneration, exploring how fragility can be a source of resilience and renewal.” ~ Shuling Guo
