Woody De Othello – New Work

Jessica Silverman is pleased to present eight new works by Woody De Othello for the December edition of 8-bridges. Five of the sculptures were made during the artist’s residency at the Kohler Factory in Wisconsin. In this industrial setting, Othello created his forms using Kohler’s glossy glazes and slip casting for the first time. The exhibition also features two paintings, including Othello’s largest oil-on-canvas work to date, which savors the sensuality of his personal repertoire of scenarios and symbols while paying homage to Jacob Lawrence and Philip Guston.
