    Art Basel Paris 2024

    October 16-20, 2024

    Jessica Silverman is pleased to participate in Art Basel Paris, running from October 16 to 20, 2024 at the Grand Palais. At booth G14, the gallery will present new and historic works by Julie Buffalohead, Judy Chicago, Beverly Fishman, Matthew Angelo Harrison, Loie Hollowell, Masako Miki, Woody De Othello, Clare Rojas, Hayal Pozanti, Rose B. Simpson and Margo Wolowiec.
    Across generations, works by Loie Hollowell, Judy Chicago, and Julie Buffalohead engage feminist ideologies through mythology and allegory. Historic geometric lithographs from 1973 by Chicago in dialogue with paintings such as Hollowell’s Around the clock in flesh red and purple (2024), which engages spiritual abstraction to celebrate maternity, kinship and the corporeal bond of breastfeeding.
    Sculptures by Rose B. Simpson, Matthew Angelo Harrison, Woody De Othello, and recent addition to the gallery’s roster Masako Miki redefine animism with a contemporary lens, energizing abstract forms or body parts through varying cultural and spiritual practices.
    A wool and walnut wood sculpture titled Rising Prayer Beads (Pink) (2024) by Miki, for example, references a tale of the Buddhist monk whose prayer beads are used as a guide and return in animated form.
    Paintings by contemporary surrealists Clare Rojas and Hayal Pozanti depict otherworldly visions of natural landscapes. While Pozanti creates vibrant oil stick on linen paintings inspired by her home’s natural surroundings in rural Vermont, oil on linen works by Rojas such as Bathing in the Misty Rainbow (2024) tap into dream-like realms, situating realistic figures in fantastical scenarios.
