NADA Miami 2026: Booth C22
House of Seiko returns to NADA Miami with a presentation of eight artists (Emma cc Cook, Lenore Golub, Roman Koval, Ava McDonough, Tyler Ormsby, Ariel Parkinson, Fred Reichman, Sofia Sinibaldi) whose practices examine how memory, place, and material process shape visual experience. Bringing contemporary artists into dialogue with three postwar artists, the presentation spans landscape, architecture, domestic life, and abstraction. Across these practices, images are shaped by acts of observation and recollection, while formal decisions mediate the relationship between subject and viewer.
Tyler Ormsby’s paintings draw on family life, Bay Area landscapes, and close observation of the natural world, recasting familiar subjects through personal memory and mythic symbolism. Emma cc Cook investigates the environmental and cultural histories of the United States through painting; her bronze and blackened-steel sculpture Wheelwright on Dew Pond extends recurring motifs from her two-dimensional work into a new medium. Sofia Sinibaldi transforms photographs and scans through a tactile process of layering and reconfiguration, producing images that move between legibility and abstraction. Ava McDonough’s paintings use close observation and repeated brushwork to explore the formal and perceptual qualities of natural forms.
The presentation also includes work by Fred Reichman, Ariel Parkinson, and Lenore Golub. Reichman’s layered paintings focus on everyday subjects and subtle changes in perception, informed by sustained observation and an interest in restraint. Parkinson’s work across painting, theatre, photography, and political graphics reflects the interdisciplinary culture of the postwar Bay Area, where artistic practice intersected with poetry, performance, and civic engagement. Golub’s paintings distill observations of nature into geometric structures, using measured shifts in color and pattern to engage sustained attention.
Taken together, the works represent distinct approaches to the relationship between observation and interpretation. Their subjects range from landscapes and built environments to domestic scenes and natural forms, while their methods foreground the ways images are constructed, revised, and perceived. The presentation places these approaches in conversation across generations, emphasizing continuities in formal inquiry alongside the historical and material differences that distinguish each artist’s practice.
