Thaddaeus Ropac Presents 'That Inward Eye' with Works by Snyder, Rooney, Han Bing
On June 30, 2026, Thaddaeus Ropac announced the exhibition 'That Inward Eye,' featuring over 16 works by Joan Snyder, Megan Rooney, and Han Bing. Snyder, a pioneering figure in American feminist art through her 'epic abstraction,' contributes 'Studio Notes' (2025), a canvas layered with handprints, handwritten scripts, and a shimmering pond. Rooney uses a process of building up and sanding down layers of paint, pastel, and oil sticks, as seen in 'Over Vales and Hills' (2026). Han Bing, a Paris-based artist originally from China, draws inspiration from metro advertisements, creating works through repeated layering and subtraction that yield poetic, urban-inspired silhouettes.
The Signal
The exhibition brings together three artists who each employ an additive-subtractive dialogue with their materials, offering collectors and curators a focused look at contemporary abstraction's diverse approaches. Snyder's inclusion places the show within a lineage of American feminist painting, while Rooney and Han Bing represent younger, transnational practices. The grouping underscores Thaddaeus Ropac's continued investment in multi-generational, conceptually rigorous painting, a signal for buyers seeking works that balance material experimentation with personal narrative.
