Marking a new approach to figuration for the artist, these works reference actions, places, and people, existing as matrices in which Cooke’s free and open process meets wider themes of metaphor, spirit, nature, representation, and the living material quality of paint. Painted on raw canvas, these works involve several layers and washes, hinting at atmospheric emanations or presences. Not dependent on a fixed viewpoint but instead drifting between states, the compositions unfix the viewer’s traditional understanding of figurative representation, allowing for the possibility of transformation.

In 1968, she discovered glass microspheres, an industrial material used in street signs and dividing lines on highways. Combining these tiny refractive beads with acrylic paint, she creates paintings that appear to radiate light from within and produce shifts in appearance contingent on their surroundings and the viewer’s position. This discovery has led to decades of experimentation wherein Corse’s art emphasizes the abstract nature of human perception, extending beyond the visual to include subtleties of feeling and awareness.

With her recent work, Du Pasquier’s organization of form merges the representational with the non-representational, the tangible with the intangible, and reality with imagination.

For Dyson, the relationship between these subjects produces abstractions that explore black spatial liberation strategies and environmental politics.The surfaces of Dyson’s paintings are layered in black and blue washes with fine diagrammatic white lines that abstract spatial systems and narrate the prismatic color of oceans and deep waters. The repetition of the box, the curve, the triangle, and the trapezoid continues to inform Dyson’s exploration of what she has called “black compositional thought.” Transforming these geometric typologies in dialogue with the history of black resistance, Dyson’s project maps the relationship between the body, systems infrastructure, and environmental precarity in the past, present, and future. With varied and accumulated surfaces, the paintings suggest a gravitational force echoed in the dimensionality and depth of geometric planes foregrounded by atmospheric color fields.

The shade is from a practice I have come to understand by diving in so many parts of the oceans around the world and understanding how light changes underwater, refraction happens, shade happens, and tint happens. Abstraction can create a distance that allows you to comprehend a systemic logic—how it has been controlled and designed outside your input. To be a part of an environment of global warming that has nothing to do with my decisions in terms of the macro is alarming. My interest is in working in these established realms of looking: How do I get closer to that through this form which I’m using, abstraction?” Close modal View Previous View Next Carousel slide 0 Carousel slide 1 Carousel slide 2 Carousel slide 3 Carousel slide 4 Carousel slide 5 Carousel slide 6 Carousel slide 7 Carousel slide 8 Torkwase Dyson Proximities, Whispers of Love are Built in the Water Deep (Water Futures and Architecture Series) 2020 acrylic and graphite on canvas 80" × 96" × 2" (203.2 cm × 243.8 cm × 5.1 cm) How can we reach you?

Nina KatchadourianFor her Sorted Books series (ongoing since 1993), Nina Katchadourian engages with library collections, both private and public, selecting volumes and creating groupings where titles can be read as a whole. The resulting works point to through-lines in collections, making incisive and thought-provoking inferences about each library's particular focus, omissions, or idiosyncrasies. Often, these works create a "portrait" of a concept, subject, or figure. This group of works, including titles such as An Independent Woman, Freud in a Week, and The Narcissist Test, were made from the collection of Wood Street Library, located in the Walthamstowe neighborhood in London. The library was slated for closure and demolition, its 1950s-era building deemed too expensive to renovate, and Katchadourian’s project honors the library during its last months on Wood Street, by celebrating its diverse collection.

Subject matter in Hollowell’s work often emerges through phenomenological encounter rather than narrative content, tapping the depth of the artist’s embodied experience. Expanding Figure continues her exploration of pregnancy, drawing upon the evolution of her own body through the birth of her second child. Incorporating added volume to painting through the use of high-density foam, Hollowell creates surfaces that engage with issues of perception, blurring the line between the illusory and the real. As the artist explains, "This painting is a visualization of the birth process. Painting it has helped me meditate on the journey of home birth that I'm about to experience. Eight months ago I decided to have a home birth with my second child. At first, I was very nervous about this decision, but now I couldn't be more thankful for my home birth team.

His PixCell works are made by covering the surface of a found object with transparent spheres, transforming each into a “husk of light.” The artist acquires the objects on the internet, later covering it in a layer of variously sized cells, recalling the manner in which it was originally viewed on a computer screen as a group of pixels. The object’s surface is fragmented with countless reflections, an effect that produces magnification and distortion as multiple details are viewed simultaneously.

He draws from articulations of blackness, abstraction, and the avant-garde through a signature framework he has termed Black Dada. Pendleton’s screen-print paintings engage with a visual and conceptual overlapping of language—from his own writing and that of found sources—conceptual art, and activism, creating a dialogue of disruption in legibility or semiotic clarity.

His Usefulness of Uselessness series reflects the artist's interest in working with humble, everyday materials. Discarded furniture and parts of demolished courtyard homes from Old Beijing can all be easily identified in this recent body of work. Each window has been enhanced by mirror or glass, while the recycled nature of the work remains evident in the flaking paint and rusting latches. These collaged remnants reflect themes of memory, collective history, impermanence – all enduring concerns throughout the artist’s oeuvre. Close modal View Previous View Next
