Please join Central Standard at Untitled Art Fair Houston, October 2-4, 2026, where we will be featuring new works by Oklahoma-based artists Yatika Starr Fields (Osage, Muscogee, Cherokee) and Ashanti Chaplin.

Chaplin presents Soil Map II and Inner Utterance, in which soil, clay, and loam excavated from Oklahoma’s historically Black towns are deposited, buried, compressed, and unearthed — the earth becoming author, archive, and witness — and Watershed, a new series of works in fractured glass.

Fields presents two new paintings extending his Tent Metaphor series — in which the tent operates as a porous symbol simultaneously evoking protest encampments, refugee camps, and housing precarity within a longer legacy of Indigenous survivance — combining tent material and painting within single works for the first time.

Untitled Art is a leading international contemporary art fair known for its curatorial integrity and commitment to emerging and established artists, with editions in Houston and Miami Beach. Central Standard was invited to present in Untitled Art's Nest sector — a curated initiative dedicated to emerging galleries and nonprofit organizations making an impact in the contemporary art world.
