For Independent Contemporary 2026, Jane Lombard Gallery presented a group presentation featuring new and recent works by Jane Bustin, Via Lewandowsky, and Massinissa Selmani. Drawing upon multidisciplinary practices, the presentation repositions the familiar, borrowing aesthetics from beauty magazines, newspapers, household objects, and common sayings. Spanning drawing, painting, and sculpture, the artists explore the tensions that lie between reality and fiction.
Jane Bustin And so She Forgets, 2025 Aluminum, wood, acrylic, inkjet photo on linen, tea 48 x 36 1/4 in 122 x 92 cm
Through a sensuous yet blunt abstraction, Jane Bustin constructs paintings from metal, wood, paint, textile, and photography. Influenced by a breadth of source materials, such as glamour magazines, she reframes gender and sexuality within minimalist visual language.
Via Lewandowsky In Golden Hands, 2025 Unique Bronze, lacquered 17 3/4 x 11 3/4 x 7 7/8 in 45 x 30 x 20 cm
Via Lewandowsky transforms everyday objects into surreal reflections on failure, communication, and ritual. Balancing humor and sincerity, he utilizes movement, light, and text to evoke the multiplicity of language.
Massinissa Selmani Smoke on the Horizon, 2026 Graphite and colored pencil on paper 19 3/4 x 24 3/4 in 50 x 63 cm Framed dimensions 21 3/4 x 26 7/8 in 55.2 x 68.2 cm
Massinissa Selmani creates documentary style drawings that mingle fictional constructions and animations with press clippings of contemporary issues and events. His works expose the quiet absurdities embedded within systems of power and control, particularly those developed from the circulation and proliferation of media images. Together, the presentation reveals the underlying strangeness of the ordinary, offering a nuanced meditation on perception, authority, and the constructed nature of meaning.
