Brian Dillon on Maysha Mohamedi's Painting Process

Step into Maysha Mohamedi’s Los Angeles studio and discover her painting process through the words of writer Brian Dillon—whose new essay on the artist appears in a forthcoming book from Pace Publishing—narrated by American actor, writer, and film director Edoardo Ballerini.

This lively footage captures Mohamedi’s process, from the precise to the poetic: writing in and flipping through her sketchbooks, mixing pigments, and applying paint to canvas. Here, we invite you into the artist’s world of colors, forms, shapes, and language, where mysteries abound and discoveries await.

Mohamedi’s exhibition, yesterday I was a tiny tube of toothpaste, on view from September 6, 2024, inaugurates our Tokyo gallery in the Azabudai Hills development.
