    Pink, Gold, and Excess: Ana Elisa Egreja's Maximalist Vision

    Brazilian artist Ana Elisa Egreja's "Pink Table with Chinoiserie and Roseate Spoonbills" (2026), on view now through September 5 at Jessica Silverman Gallery in San Francisco, is a large-scale still life built from a real-life staging. Guided by the coloring of a bird native to Brazil's Pantanal, the work fuses classical Dutch still-life tradition with the fantastical logic of Latin American magical realism, topped with a gold-leaf sky reimagined in a tropical environment. It's a combination of Egreja's practice over the past two decades: warm, vibrant, and unapologetically excessive.

    Designer of the Day: Rachel Hayes

    Climbing up the sloped gravel path to New York’s Watermill Center from June 25 to 28, colorful patchwork textiles suspended between forest trees slowly came into view, rippling lightly in the sea breeze. Installed for the first-ever U.S. edition of art and design fair Nomad, these works by Tulsa, Oklahoma–based artist Rachel Hayes created moments of intrigue within the art center’s landscape, both in the way they caught the eye and where their smooth, patterned, transparent, and opaque sections of fabric meet to create geometric forms, evoking references as diverse as 1960s hard-edge painting and Korean pojagi quilting. With her handmade large-scale works, which for Nomad Hamptons also included a series of oversized picnic blankets presented by Giorgio Armani for napping, snacking, and canoodling throughout the weekend show, Hayes plays sun, color, and nature off each other. Both fragile and strong, the textiles pack an emotional punch—one several fairgoers aptly described as “magical.”
