Rae Klein: The Comfort in Calamity
September 16-October 29, 2022
Jessica Silverman is pleased to announce Rae Klein: The Comfort in Calamity, on view September 16 through October 29, 2022 in the gallery’s second-floor space. This is the artist’s first solo exhibition with the gallery presenting ten new, large-scale oil paintings that are indicative of her practice examining power, opulence and memory through a deft combination of the surreal and the ordinary. In her paintings, Klein often suspends objects in space, recalling the compositional strangeness of Salvador Dali and Max Ernst. Playing with background and foreground wields both the precision and softness of her brush.
