FOR HIS FIRST-EVER solo exhibition, Will Stovall is presenting a series of intimately scaled paintings inspired by diagrammatical drawing and German philosophy. After earning a Ph.D., from Yale University, with a dissertation on the institutional imagination of German philosopher Jürgen Habermas (2018), Stovall turned to painting. “Will Stovall: Kant Crisis” at Ulrik in New York features 11 paintings produced between 2020 and 2022. The works on view reflect the artist’s interest in the human figure and are informed by his scholarship. Based in Washington, D.C., Stovall is an MFA candidate at Bard College (2025). CT
