FORTHCOMING: FRIEZE LOS ANGELES 2027 — JUSTIN LIAM O’BRIEN
Newchild is pleased to announce its inaugural participation in Frieze, joining the eighth edition of Frieze Los Angeles, taking place from February 25 to 28, 2027, at Santa Monica Airport. For this milestone occasion, the gallery will present a solo exhibition by Justin Liam O’Brien.
Frieze Los Angeles is rooted in the city while looking outward, celebrating its long-standing influence on contemporary culture and its continuing contribution to the global visual arts. Alongside ambitious presentations of contemporary art, the fair offers a dynamic programme of installations, talks and collaborations with nonprofit organisations, reflecting the breadth and energy of Los Angeles’ creative community.
For its debut at the fair, Newchild will spotlight O’Brien’s distinctive painterly world, where the relationship between the body and architecture takes centre stage. His paintings often depict figures in settings that evoke claustrophobia and disorientation, drawing on his recent exploration of Renaissance and Baroque art. Frequently portraying family members, close friends and the artist himself, O’Brien renders his figures with curving lines, smooth planes of colour and subtle tonal gradients. Despite the spatial tension surrounding them, these figures convey a profound sense of tranquillity.
Should you wish to secure entrance tickets, please do not hesitate to contact us. We look forward to welcoming you at Frieze Los Angeles.

I really enjoyed making this painting for the cover of Connor’s new album Eurydical Bloom - here are some pictures of the full painting. I made it with them over the course of the last few months while hearing the last tracks for the album get finished. It felt like a collaboration. This kind of stuff is the most fun for me. Go listen on spotify or apple music or soundcloud.

NEWCHILD VOICES: JUSTIN LIAM O’BRIEN
In this edition of ‘Newchild Voices’, New York-based artist Justin Liam O’Brien offers deeper insight into his practice, discussing several works currently on view in his solo exhibition, ‘Young Country’.
“It’s all these elements from different periods of time coming in and out, coming together as if in a dream to create the paintings I make.”
A group of people stand outside a building. The context is ambiguous, the figures androgynous. Neither the people nor their setting are easily locatable in time and place. Nonetheless, we can piece together a semblance of a narrative from cues in the composition. In the foreground a Botticelli-esque group of ephebes are poised before a red filigreed door like it is the gate to heaven. The figures are languidly arrayed so as to highlight a sense of dramatic possibility that we recognize from the charged compositions of Old Master paintings. This extends to the figures’ dress, which, while not out of place today, is not clearly tied to the present. The crepuscular lighting streaming from the streetlamp behind them adds to this, setting a scene that feels like either dusk or, perhaps more likely, dawn.

YOUNG COUNTRY: JUSTIN LIAM O’BRIEN
Newchild is pleased to present ‘Young Country’, Justin Liam O’Brien’s first solo exhibition in Belgium. Please join us for the opening next Friday, June 26, from 18:00 to 21:00, in the presence of the artist.
Across ‘Young Country’, O’Brien stages scenes that appear at once familiar and difficult to place. Androgynous figures gather outside buildings, sit together, play video games, dance, or turn inward toward their phones. Their settings remain ambiguous, suspended between dusk and dawn, public and private, past and present. Through posture, dress, atmosphere, and compositional cues, O’Brien allows fragments of narrative to emerge while resisting fixed resolution.
The paintings draw on art historical languages with both directness and subtlety. Botticelli-esque figures, Mannerist elongations, lapis-like skies, and the charged compositions of Old Master painting appear alongside references to nightlife, digital manipulation, photographic cropping, and mediated self-image. These anachronisms do not function as fantasy, but as a means of describing the distortions of contemporary life: its unstable bodies, fractured images, and uncertain sense of time.
A quiet sense of youthful ennui runs through the exhibition. O’Brien’s figures often seem absorbed, distracted, or willfully removed from the events unfolding around them. Rather than dramatizing catastrophe, the paintings register a contemporary condition of passivity amid constant information, unease, and impending crisis.
Tender, precise, and quietly ominous, ‘Young Country’ explores waiting, looking away, and the fragile forms of togetherness that emerge when the future can be sensed but not yet understood.
‘Young Country’ will be on view from June 26 to August 20, 2026.
