At Chelsea’s historic Starrett-Lehigh Building, the New Art Dealers Alliance’s annual art fair showcases over 110 exhibitors from 15 countries and 46 cities worldwide, championing galleries at the forefront of contemporary art. Returning to the fair for a second outing, New York’s LATITUDE Gallery presents a solo booth featuring new paintings by Chinese artist Shangfeng Zhang that explore the intersection of contemporary life and myth. Zhang uses psychologically charged figures, symbolic elements, and atmospheric settings to portray painting as a modern way of mythmaking rooted in vulnerability, ambiguity, and emotional depth. For Zhang, myth is neither monumental nor fixed; it emerges in hesitation, waiting, silence, and the subtle instability of everyday life.
