This November, Lorna Simpson will debut a monumental new body of work at our New York, 22nd Street gallery. A suite of large-scale paintings of meteorites, inspired by photographs found in an early 20th century natural history textbook, will create a temple-like atmosphere of contemplation in which human scale and geological time are unmoored. These canvases will be accompanied by a new text-based wall sculpture that references an incredible story from the same book, wherein a named, and then unnamed, Black farmer is surprised when a meteorite lands right at his feet. Simpson’s new works reimagine traditional notions of ancient celestial objects and phenomena, prompting viewers to reflect on the vastness of the cosmos and our place within its grand narrative.
La galerie Perrotin est heureuse est heureux de présenter The Engine of Beasts, la première exposition personnelle d’Emma Webster à Paris. Pour sa troisième exposition avec Perrotin, Webster met en scène des peintures aux côtés de sculptures, invitant les spectateurs à suivre la représentation d’une créature dans tous ses états. Le thème central de l’exposition : l’étymon latin du mot Engine, ingenium, qui signifie habileté ou ruse, évoque également la capacité à passer facilement d’un médium à un autre, comme une forme de vie qui cherche à s’adapter, évoluer et survivre. Entre la transfiguration et les paysages fictifs servant de barrière entre les personnages et les spectateurs, Webster dévoile son intérêt pour la sentience, une combinaison de sentiment, sensation et conscience.
The exhibition features paintings created over twenty years between 1997 and 2024. Like much of Scott’s oeuvre, the works are an affirmation of the sheer joy of painting and the act of creation. Rooted in his signature vibrant palette, hints of garden foliage, and sinuous lines, the paintings are built through layers of paint over periods of weeks, months, and in certain cases, years. They attest to an artist who has, through his lengthy career, put his faith in how iteration often creates meaning within the process of painting.
