Connor Tingley Hosts Opening Reception at MAXFIELD Celebrating the What Do You Think You Believe? Exhibition and Kicking Off Frieze Art Week

On February 24th, Connor Tingley celebrated the opening of his exhibition What Do You Think You Believe? with a cocktail reception at Maxfield. The event marked the kickoff of Frieze Week in Los Angeles, drawing industry friends, local communities, and art enthusiasts to experience Tingley’s newest body of work. “I’ve said these works are ghosts of what I once believed,” says Tingley. “Each painting is titled after what I had Googled. They expose my own bias — how quickly I judge people by how they present themselves, what they claim to believe, and who they say they are, all of which are images no different from the ones we create or consume as photographers, painters, and participants in media.” What Do You Think You Believe? ultimately invites viewers to examine their own reflexive assumptions and to reconsider the images, narratives, and beliefs they encounter daily. In doing so, Tingley reframes the act of looking as both responsibility and opportunity: a space where error can give way to awareness, and awareness to growth. The exhibition will remain on view at Maxfield through March 9, 2026.
