Francois Ghebaly New York

In this small, single-room gallery tucked behind a mid-century mini-mall just off Grand Street, you’ll find yourself pulled into worlds of quiet, mysterious, and mesmerizing other worlds

The artists shown here explore vast subjects—climate change, motherhood, love, and what it’s like to live in a world without sound—and render them close.

You’ll see patterns you can lose yourself in. Dreamy paintings that blur and melt. Maps sanded down to dissolve the borders. Ceramic sculptures you can hold in the palm of your hand.

The LA space is vast and airy. The New York gallery feels like a private viewing room. It has a windowsill bench where you can sit with the sun on your back, and look closely at minute things that contain multitudes.

Swiss-born François Ghebaly founded his eponymous gallery in Los Angeles in 2009. The LA space is now in a 12,000 sq ft warehouse in Downtown LA’s Arts District, shared with an artist residency, artist book publishers, and an archive that supports LA artists. In 2021, he expanded to New York, bringing on Blaize Lehane (formerly of Ramiken, which is right next door) as partner.
