Loyal is pleased to announce Infinite Planes High, the inaugural exhibition in our new gallery space in Lund, Sweden, a former chapel built in 1887 by architect Helgo Zettervall.

Infinite Planes High (Part II) brings together eight artists working across painting, sculpture, and installation, and continues Infinite Planes High (Part I), presented last month at El Royale in Los Angeles.
The first chapter brought together Los Angeles artists Ida Badal, Michelle Blade, Ross Caliendo, Noah Cohen, Kyle De Lotto, Veronica Fernandez, Molly Greene, Lizette Hernandez, Chanel Khoury, Tidawhitney Lek, Brendan Lynch, Jean Nagai, Aryo Toh Djojo, and Aleza Zheng.

In Lund, the exhibition continues with Hugo Avigo, Ross Caliendo, Katarina Caserman, Alice Faloretti, Yanjun Li, Jean Nagai, Aryo Toh Djojo, and Aleza Zheng, an international group of artists from China, France, Italy, the United Kingdom, and Los Angeles, with several artists present in both chapters.

Across these two locations, the exhibition unfolds within distinct architectural and geographic contexts, each site introducing another plane into its field. Each artist approaches the picture plane as something shifting and expansive, capable of holding multiple conceptual layers at once. A plane is a surface, but also a dimension, a condition. Many of the works move between these layers, where personal memory intersects with inherited histories, and what appears contained opens outward.

The exhibition inaugurates Loyal’s new permanent Sweden gallery space in a former chapel in the historic city of Lund. Built in 1887 by the renowned Swedish architect Helgo Zettervall, whose work shaped many of Sweden’s most significant ecclesiastical landmarks, the chapel stands a short distance from Lund Cathedral (consecrated 1123) and Lund University (founded 1666). The space carries within it centuries of spiritual, intellectual, and architectural continuity, where Romanesque stone, Gothic revivalism, and academic inquiry chime with the rhythms of southern Sweden.

Installed within this architecture, Infinite Planes High takes on a particular resonance. Subtle references to speculative cosmologies and multidimensional frameworks appear throughout, reminding us that the visible world forms only one layer within a more intricate continuum. The exhibition becomes both site and state, and a school: a gathering of practices unfolding across connected planes where perception is tested.

Upon entering, we are all in attendance.

HUGO AVIGO (b. 1988, Clamart, France) lives in Paris and works across sculpture, installation, and painting, transforming fragments of everyday urban life into objects that exist between familiarity and fiction. Drawing on tools, furniture, signage, and architectural forms, his work reconfigures the visual language of the city into compositions that move between functionality and abstraction. Through formal play, displacement, and the exaggeration of sculptural codes, Avigo explores the emotional and symbolic charge embedded in ordinary objects.

For this work, Avigo draws on references to towers and infrastructural systems found in contemporary urban environments, particularly in rapidly developing cities in the Gulf and across Asia. Vape Tower combines elements reminiscent of ventilation or cooling systems with the design language of vape devices. Enlarged to an almost architectural scale, the object takes on the presence of a column and shifts from a functional device toward a more ambiguous form between atmosphere, architecture, and shared experience.

Avigo studied at Central Saint Martins School of Art and the École Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris, where he received his Diplôme National Supérieur d’Arts Plastiques in 2015.

KATARINA CASERMAN (b. 1996, Slovenia) is a painter based in London. Her work moves between translucency and structure, building layered pictorial fields that are intuitive yet rigorously composed. Through shifting atmospheres, gestures, and spatial tensions, Caserman reconsiders abstraction as a way of visualizing thought, memory, and time.

Her paintings explore what we perceive as our current “real,” translating intangible experiences into material form. Influenced by Deleuzian philosophy, her compositions function as events where virtual elements generate emotional and sensory responses.

Caserman received her MFA in Painting from the Royal College of Art, London (2022), and her BFA from the Academy of Fine Arts and Design, Ljubljana (2019). She is represented by Tabula Rasa in London and Beijing, and her work is held in institutional collections including ICA Miami and the Deji Art Museum, Nanjing. A recent solo exhibition was held at Marquez Art Projects in Miami (2024–25).

ROSS CALIENDO (b. 1988, Pittsburgh, PA) lives and works in Los Angeles. His paintings explore perception through the structures and rhythms of the natural world, using landscape as a framework to investigate color, vision, and sensory experience. Forests, horizons, and bodies of water appear as shifting environments that hover between abstraction and figuration, guiding viewers beyond recognizable forms into heightened fields of seeing.

Working in layered oil on canvas, Caliendo builds compositions over bright underpaintings that are gradually scraped and carved back to reveal underlying color. Repeating marks and vibrating palettes create movement between surface and depth, foregrounding the act of seeing as much as the image itself.

Caliendo received his BFA from the Columbus College of Art and Design in 2011. His work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Night Gallery (Los Angeles), Ross + Kramer (New York and Miami), Loyal (Stockholm), Asia Art Center (Taipei), and CVG Foundation (Beijing), and in group exhibitions internationally.

ALICE FALORETTI (b. 1992, Brescia, Italy) lives and works in Brescia, Italy. Her paintings present abstracted landscapes that immerse the viewer in imagined terrains where memory, dream, and observation intersect. Moody skies, rock formations, and winding waterways create environments that feel both familiar and otherworldly, reflecting on shifting relationships between humans, nature, and uncertain futures.

Faloretti’s practice combines digital manipulation, hand-painted gesture, and chance. Beginning with fluid layers of paint, she gradually introduces imagery and structure, allowing forms and borders to interrupt and redirect the movement of paint.

She received her MFA from the Academy of Fine Arts of Venice in 2018 and her BFA from the Academy of Fine Arts Santa Giulia, Brescia in 2015. Her work has been shown at MINT (Munich), Francesca Antonini Gallery (Rome), the Bevilacqua La Masa Foundation (Venice), the Triennale di Milano, Palazzo Reale (Milan), and Palazzo Monti (Brescia), among others.

YANJUN LI (b. 1998, Kunming, China) is a painter based in New York. Her practice explores the fusion of natural and synthetic materials, expanding the language of painting through layered surfaces and hybrid processes. Combining organic textures with industrial materials, Li develops compositions that move between abstraction and atmospheric space.

Through color, surface, and spatial depth, her paintings create environments that invite reflection and connection, proposing a visual language that moves across cultural and linguistic boundaries.

Li received her BFA from the School of Visual Arts in 2020 and completed a Post-Baccalaureate at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University in 2023. Her work has been exhibited in New York at Latitude Gallery, and Long Story Short in Paris.

JEAN NAGAI (b. 1979, Seattle, WA) lives and works in Los Angeles. His paintings are built through intricate layers of acrylic, pumice, and mineral materials, forming rhythmic fields of dots and waves that resemble energetic systems and microscopic landscapes. Often described as abstract impasto pointillism, his work draws inspiration from the complexity of nature and the unseen structures that underlie reality.

Accumulated marks expand into shifting macrocosms that evoke atoms, energy fields, and interdimensional movement, emphasizing the interconnectedness of all things. Influenced by the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest and the spiritual traditions of his Japanese immigrant parents, Nagai’s work reflects a reverence for nature as a living force.

He received a BA from Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. His work has been shown at Loyal (Stockholm), Over the Influence (Los Angeles), Chins Gallery (Bangkok), Pt2 Gallery (Oakland), and in group exhibitions internationally.

ARYO TOH DJOJO (b. 1984, Glendale, CA) lives and works in Los Angeles. His paintings are created using a freehand, layered airbrush technique that produces images suspended between memory and broadcast. The surfaces feel vaporized, as if the image has landed rather than been painted.

Toh Djojo constructs scenes that feel both familiar and estranged. Drawing from publicly circulating imagery and personal experience alike, he describes his perspective as satellite-like, circling moments of human activity while searching for meaning within them. Beams of light, distant horizons, silhouetted palms, and recurring glowing orbs appear throughout the work like signals within quiet atmospheric landscapes.

Hovering between teenage longing, spiritual symbolism, UFO mythology, and the quiet beauty of highways and sunsets, his paintings evoke a detached yet sincere atmosphere, speculative but grounded in lived emotional landscapes.

Toh Djojo received his BFA from ArtCenter College of Design (Pasadena). His work has been presented in solo exhibitions at Perrotin (Tokyo), Stems Gallery (Paris and Brussels), Sow & Tailor (Los Angeles), Wilding Cran Gallery (Los Angeles), and Weekend Gallery (Los Angeles), and in group exhibitions internationally, including at K11 Musea (Hong Kong) and Perrotin (Dubai).

ALEZA ZHENG (b. 1999, Shenyang, China) is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily in oil, ink, linen, and silk. Born in China, raised in Vancouver, and now based in Los Angeles, Zheng draws from classical Chinese painting, Western literary traditions, and contemporary image culture to construct psychologically charged, liminal worlds.

Her work explores animism, illusion, and the instability of perception. Through layered surfaces, translucent textiles, and atmospheric color fields, figures and animals appear between presence and disappearance, intimacy and estrangement.

Zheng received her BFA from ArtCenter College of Design in 2022. She has exhibited internationally, including presentations at Frieze Seoul, SOOT Tokyo, and Shazar Gallery (Milan), and currently has a solo exhibition at Make Room (Los Angeles).
