Last Chance to Catch Sarah Sze’s Feel Free at Gagosian Gallery

23 Feb 2026

A new body of large-scale paintings expands Sarah Sze’s exploration of perception, fragmentation, and space, where the everyday collides with the cosmic.

Sarah Sze’s large-scale mixed-media paintings are quirky, expansive works, simultaneously atmospheric and urban. They suggest journeys into deep space through recognizable as well as purely abstract elements. She is best known for pushing the boundaries of sculpture with assemblages of everyday objects, precariously fashioned together with wire to create small- and room-sized chaotic, dynamic constellations.

Sarah Sze’s Feel Free transforms the galleries at Gagosian in Beverly Hills into a shifting, immersive environment where images refuse to stay still. Across three connected rooms, paintings, sculptural installations, and projected video works explore how we see and remember in a world saturated with media. Light moves across suspended surfaces, shadows interrupt projections, and fragments of color feel like thoughts resurfacing. The exhibition invites you to slow down and pay attention to the way perception itself unfolds.

The newest paintings layer oil and acrylic with photographic fragments, digital imagery, collage, and found objects. Observed and remembered worlds merge into surfaces that feel both expansive and intimate. Sze turns collage into something spatial and almost architectural, as if memory has taken physical form. It is the kind of show that rewards time and quiet looking, and one that lingers long after you leave.
