Atelier Natália Gromicho is pleased to announce its first exhibition of 2026, Downtown Chiado 26, opening on February 7 at 5:00 PM in the historic heart of Lisbon. Held in Chiado—one of the city’s most emblematic cultural districts—the exhibition inaugurates the year’s artistic program with a celebration of place, movement, and contemporary expression.

Downtown Chiado 26 is an international group exhibition that brings together 32 national and international artists, reaffirming Lisbon’s position as one of the most vibrant centers of contemporary art today. On view from February 7 to 20, 2026, the exhibition offers the public a rich panorama of current artistic production, marked by diversity of languages, techniques, and artistic visions.

With a curatorial focus on plurality and intercultural dialogue, the exhibition presents works spanning painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, and contemporary visual practices. Each artist contributes a distinct identity and narrative, forming a dynamic constellation of perspectives that reflect the complexity and vitality of the global art scene.

Atelier Natália Gromicho—recognized for its ongoing commitment to supporting both emerging and established artists—once again opens its doors for an immersive experience that fosters proximity between the public, the artworks, and their creators. The initiative reinforces the space’s dedication to the international circulation of contemporary art and to building bridges between different cultural geographies.

This edition places special emphasis on the work of Tamara Alves, Patrícia Mariano, Daniela Guerreiro, and Mariana Santos, whose pieces stand out for their discursive strength, technical rigor, and their capacity to critically engage with the present through distinct yet complementary visual narratives.

The exhibition brings together a dynamic group of artists whose diverse practices and perspectives reflect the richness of contemporary creation, including Ana Maria Malta, Aranka Székely, Beatriz Canivete, Carsten Bund, Daniela Guerreiro, Daphne, Domingo Parada, Endre Bartos, Gabriela Sosa, Gill Welland, Howard Harris, Inês Prats, Joaquim Gromicho, Kayo Sato, Leonor Ribeiro, Liliana Santos, Luisa Petiz, Mafalda Gonçalves, Maria Isabel Salazar de Lince, Mariana Santos, Metka Vergnion, Natália Gromicho, Noelle Kalom, Patrícia Mariano, Pedro Charters d’Azevedo, Rui Pereira, Santerre, Šárka Darton, Stanislav Riha, Tamara Alves, and Tommi Viitala, whose works collectively establish a vibrant dialogue of languages, materials, and artistic sensibilities within the contemporary art landscape.

Downtown Chiado 26 stands as a collective portrait of the “now,” where multiple artistic voices coexist, confront, and mutually enrich one another—inviting audiences into an open, plural, and diverse aesthetic experience.

The official opening will take place on February 7 at 5:00 PM, with the presence of several participating artists and host artist Natália Gromicho, whose work has been instrumental in consolidating Chiado as an international meeting point for contemporary art.

The exhibition will remain on view until February 20, 2026.
Free admission.

Atelier Natália Gromicho: Where Art Transcends Boundaries

Atelier Natália Gromicho is not just a gallery; it’s a sanctuary of creativity where barriers dissolve, and art becomes an immersive experience for all. Our mission is simple: to transform private spaces into open, inclusive realms where every soul can engage freely – seeing, tasting, touching, and painting without limitations.

Experience. Knowledge. Art. These are the pillars upon which Atelier Natália Gromicho stands. Nestled in Lisbon’s vibrant Downtown, our journey began in April 2013 with an inaugural exhibition by Natália Gromicho titled “Lisboa, dignos de nota,” a heartfelt homage to her birth city.

Located within Espaço Chiado, nestled amidst the historic charm of Chiado, our gallery resides within a shopping center that preserves the ancient “Muralha Fernandina,” a testament to Lisbon’s medieval heritage. Situated between the iconic districts of Bairro Alto and Downtown, Chiado pulsates with cultural richness and historical allure.

Our gallery’s strategic location, accessible via Rua da Misericórdia or Rua Nova da Trindade, adjacent to the Trindade Theater, ensures a seamless flow of visitors drawn by the magnetic charm of Chiado’s historical landmarks, shopping boutiques, and leisure attractions.

Spanning 100 square meters, our gallery boasts meticulously curated illumination and a robust hanging system, ensuring each artwork commands the attention it deserves. Beyond exhibitions, we offer comprehensive fine arts services, including canvas stretching and framing, paints, and a myriad of materials tailored to elevate artistic endeavors.

Shayla Marshall, New Studio Resident

Shayla Marshall (b. 1999, Miami, FL) is a contemporary mixed-media artist now based in between Miami and London, whose work uses world-building techniques to imagine new histories and futures, ones not prewritten for her. Raised in Miami’s culturally rich and predominantly Black neighborhoods, her upbringing informs a celebration of identity and place.

Her practice pulls disparate moments in time into layered, immersive worlds where storytelling is the foundation, inviting viewers to dwell in the flamboyance and depth of narratives often overlooked.

She has completed multiple residencies including at the Bakehouse Art Complex in Miami, and is a recipient of the Miami‐Dade County Artist Grant.

Genesis Moreno, New Studio Resident

Working through a feminist lens, she stitches together themes of trauma, mental health, and obsessive care, transforming familiar fabrics into charged objects. Her quilts resist being seen only as comfort or ornament; instead, they ask the viewer to sit with discomfort, memory, and emotion.

Genesis received a Bachelors of Fine Arts from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2017 on a Merit Scholarship. Her recent exhibitions include “That Which Frightens Us” at Primary Projects in Miami, FL, “Thinking Matter” at Ear Ear Projects in Munich, Germany, and “Everything Ends Eventually” at Latchkey Gallery in New York City.

Ricardo E. Zulueta, Returning Studio Resident

Ricardo E. Zulueta is an interdisciplinary artist and scholar born in Havana, Cuba and based in Miami. Zulueta holds a Ph.D. in Cinema and Media Studies and an MFA in Visual Art from the University of Miami and has served as a Helbein Scholar at New York University. His practice functions across a genealogy of mediums including video, digital imaging, photography, software, mixed-media, painting, sculpture, performance, and installation.

From early analogy large-scale photo-performance stills to more recent immersive multi-media installations, his work consistently explores the intersectionality of mediated expressions of gender, sexuality, behavior, and identity within socio-political landscapes. Through research and praxis, Zulueta examines how technology and media shape, interrogate, and subvert normative notions of identity through experimental modes of storytelling. His projects manifest a vernacular of idiosyncratic codes and symbols of disidentification often informed by film and media studies, art history, queer theory, and cultural studies.

Zulueta is a recipient of the Art Matters Fellowship, New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship, South Florida Cultural Consortium Artist Fellowship, Cintas Foundation Artist Fellowship, Miami Individual Artist Grant, and Oolite Arts’ Ellies Creator Award. His work has been exhibited internationally at venues such as the Smithsonian Institution, Washington, D.C.; Museo Alejandro Otero, Caracas; Steirischer Herbst, Graz; Dazibao Contemporary Art Center, Montreal; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía, Madrid; Western Front, Vancouver; Artists Space, New York; El Museo del Barrio, New York; International Center for Photography, New York; White Columns, New York, Grey Art Museum at New York University, New York, Bronx Museum of the Arts, New York; Exit Art, New York; Fotofest Biennial, Houston, and Creative Time Summit at Perez Art Museum Miami.

Beyond Fibers by Aurora Molina, Opening January 31st

Bernice Steinbaum Gallery

In Beyond Fibers, Aurora Molina stages a surreal political tableau where power, spectacle, and silence coexist in uneasy harmony. The composition gathers a cast of familiar yet transformed figures that represents politicians, enforcers, protestors, and children—interwoven with animal hybrids that expose the instincts and absurdities behind political theater.

Through the careful rendering of gesture and costume, Molina collapses the distance between the human and the animal, the leader and the led. A donkey-headed statesman shakes hands with a suited iguana, a rabbit-faced officer kneels beside a child, and a tiger gazes outward as if aware of the performance. Protest signs emerge as fragile acts of resistance amid the hierarchy of spectacle.

The work extends Molina’s ongoing inquiry into visibility, control, and collective complicity. Here, embroidery becomes a metaphor for entanglement—threads of history, ideology, and identity woven together in a fabric of contradictions. The Cabinet of the Absurd reminds us that beneath the surface of civility, the political stage remains a theater of instincts and masks.

You are cordially invited to the Opening Reception
on Saturday, January 31st, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM
at the Bernice Steinbaum Gallery
2101 Tigertail Avenue, Miami, FL 33133

The gallery is open on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday
from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, or by appointment.

Melissa Morgan Fine Art presents Light and Space — an exhibition opening February 6, 2026 that explores perception, materiality, and the dynamic presence of light through sculpture, painting, and object.

Featuring new and recent works by Lisa Bartleson, Casper Brindle, Ned Evans, Jimi Gleason, Rob Grad, Andy Moses, and Francisco Valverde with atmosphere, reflection, and form.

Lisa Bartleson is a California–based interdisciplinary artist working across painting, installation, sculpture, and ceramics. Known for her exploration of materiality within the Light and Space movement, her work features repetitive, meditative mark-making and lustrous color strips. By concentrating on light, color, and luminescence, Bartleson methodically captures discrete transitions between hues, creating intense yet calming pieces that focus on a focal horizon point within each composition.She earned her B.A. in Biology from the University of Northern Colorado at Greeley. Though she didn’t pursue formal art education, her transition from science to art was fueled by a fascination with light, perception, and materials—leading her to self-teach techniques involving layered resin and mixed media.After moving from Los Angeles to Petaluma in early 2016—drawn by its diffused light and open landscapes reminiscent of her Pacific Northwest upbringing—Lisa entered an intensive period of exhibition activity.In February 2017, she presented The Memory Project at the Museum of Art and History (MOAH) in Lancaster, California, followed in September 2016 by an exhibition titled Work Over School at the Craft and Folk Art Museum in Los Angeles. Museum Exhibitions:Legacy – Museum of Art and History, Lancaster, CA (2015)Smooth Operations: Substance and Surface in California Art – Museum of Art and History, Lancaster, CA (2012)Circle of Truth – Museum of Art and History, Lancaster, CA (2019)Kindred – Museum of Art and History, Lancaster, CA (2018)The Memory Project – Museum of Art and History, Lancaster, CA (2017)Work Over School: Art From the Margins of the Inside – Craft and Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles, CA (2016)Bartleson’s museum presence reflects her sustained engagement with major public institutions, highlighting a career that combines scientific roots with artistic inquiry into light, color, and contemplative form.
