Richard Dupont: New Monotypes

​Planthouse is pleased to present a new series of monotypes by Richard Dupont, created in collaboration with Powerhouse Arts in Brooklyn. Each unique print is produced through a hybrid process combining screen printing, graphite powder, and oil. The use of graphite situates the works firmly within the tradition of drawing, while the screen-printed elements introduce a graphic and structural clarity. Graphite powder is added to the printed dot matrix and then rubbed off. Through this process, the works oscillate between stillness and motion, presence and erasure. Dupont creates spaces of psychological projection—sites where viewers encounter states of solitude, distance, and inwardness.

​The pared-down palette captures the effects of light moving across the surface of water, and the indeterminate space is punctuated by the presence of isolated figures—swimmers, surfers, and solitary forms suspended in the reflective fields. These figures are neither narrative nor documentary; they function instead as emotional anchors within expansive, shifting environments. The images suggest moments of quiet withdrawal and heightened awareness, where the boundary between body and environment becomes porous. Rooted in observation yet filtered through abstraction, they reflect contemporary conditions of isolation, reflection, and dislocation.

​Richard Dupont’s recent exhibitions include Every Sound Is a Shape of Time: Selections from PAMM’s Collection, curated by Franklin Sirmans at The Perez Art Museum Miami. Planthouse will also present new and recent prints by Dupont at the IFPDA fair, taking place from April 9-12 at the Park Avenue Armory in New York. 

Dana Frankfurt, Everybody's Coming to My House

Planthouse is pleased to present Dana Frankfort’s 2026 series of vivid monoprints that declare Everybody’s Coming to My House. Realized this past January at Powerhouse Arts in Brooklyn, each work combines painting before screening or with ink brushed directly into the screen before printing. There are other variations and each silkscreen is unique. 

Long known for her paintings of deceptively commonplace phrases, sensual surfaces and ambivalent wit, in this current project Frankfort repurposes the title and chorus of a well-known David Byrne song. The original Everybody’s Coming to My House performance comes across as both welcoming and misanthropic while, presciently and politically, Frankfort’s borrowing of the phrase emphasizes deep, often irreconcilable, contrasts, and disparate contexts.

In her hands, Byrne’s five-word title seems to also witness the events taking place in public life now with increasing alarm. Frankfort’s prints are snapshots of this monstrous, momentous era, not looking away, but with a sardonic eye.

David Byrne’s song of the same name from his 2018 album American Utopia, (also an ironic title, now more than ever) changes its meanings depending on who performs it. The original has undertones of paranoia, a Byrne staple, (On Reddit there was a comment “Uh…he sounds like he’s being pushed to insanity.”) but when performed by the Detroit School of Arts vocal ensemble Everybody’s Coming to My House it’s an anthem of inclusion. 

If spending time looking at any of the images of Everybody’s Coming to My House what it means begins to change. One can imagine it hoisted as a placard in an anti-ICE protest, describing illegal incursions and arrests or, equally an anti-immigration rally, (“they are pouring over the border, Everybody’s Coming to My House!).

The prints are often off-register, and the letters are fat, almost cartoon style, with a bold immediacy that is both confrontational and comic. Frankfort demonstrates how the visual often dwells in places where mere language cannot quite reach. The prints seem determined to dig out in-between feelings, in between comfort and welcome, dire fear, hard reflection and the openness and joy that accompanies artmaking at any time.

Lothar Osterburg, New Photogravures

Lothar Osterburg is a German-born artist and master intaglio printer based in New York, working in sculpture, photography, printmaking, and video. He is best known for his copper-plate photogravures, which feature rough, small-scale models crafted from readily available or found materials. These images, which depict evocative settings all imagined, are photographed to appear life-size, creating a disorienting, mysterious, or whimsical effect. New Editions at Planthouse features five recent photogravures by Osterburg. In each print, the scene is devoid of people, allowing the viewer to inhabit each scene as if it were part of their memory. Cabinet of Wonders, a mid-career survey, opens this spring at the Herzog Anton Ulrich Museum in Braunschweig, Germany.
