Jessica Ann Peavy Gallery at Hamptons Fine Art Fair 2026
An exploration of figuration and cultural narratives through the works of Eddy Ochieng, Guy Stanley Philoche, and Augusto Fanjul.
Jessica Ann Peavy Gallery is pleased to announce its debut participation in the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, presenting new and recent works by Eddy Ochieng, Guy Stanley Philoche, and Augusto Fanjul at Booth 239.
The presentation marks the gallery’s East End debut and brings together three painters whose practices share a sustained commitment to figuration, cultural specificity, and the emotional complexity of the human form. Each has developed a distinctive pictorial language — Philoche in the layered textures of Black American life, Fanjul in the charged space between vulnerability and power, Ochieng in the hyperrealist precision of African portraiture — and each arrives at the fair with growing institutional attention and collector demand
Eddy Ochieng presents a group of hyperrealist oil-on-canvas portraits that render the complexity of African identity with exacting precision and emotional depth. Ochieng’s subjects carry presence, pride, and psychological weight; each portrait an investigation into masculinity, resilience, and the layered textures of lived experience. Recognized with the MASK Awards (2017, 2019) and the Manjano Award (2021), Ochieng has exhibited in Kenya, Cape Town, Australia, and the United Kingdom, and was featured on Artsy in 2024.
Augusto Fanjul brings a new body of figurative oil paintings centered on female subjects at the intersection of boxing and portraiture. The works place women within concrete, layered architectural environments that mirror their resilience; compositions where physical discipline and emotional exposure occupy the same surface. Fanjul’s brushwork moves between control and release, building charged, sensual paintings that hold their tensions without resolving them. The Dominican-born painter’s work has drawn sustained collector attention for its psychological rigor and visual force.
Guy Stanley Philoche presents a selection of paintings from his ongoing survey of Black American life and cultural memory. Working in dense, tactile layers that fuse nostalgia, urban energy, and Haitian heritage, Philoche builds canvases that function as both tribute and testimony; visually immediate, historically rooted, and unmistakably his. A Haitian-born painter based in New York, Philoche has exhibited widely across the city over the past 15 years and counts collectors and cultural institutions among his following.
Jessica Ann Peavy Gallery will be on view at Booth 239, Southampton Fairgrounds, 605 County Road 39, Southampton, NY, July 9–12, 2026. The VIP Opening Preview on July 9 benefits the Parrish Art Museum.
