Check out some of the up-and-coming galleries Arthena is excited to see at VOLTA NY.
GALERIE JAN DHAESE
The painting series ‘Genesis’ Let there be Light’ by the artist Emerald Rose Whipple explores the relationship of the soul and the sun, embodied by the subject of modern youth. Emerald Whipple’s portrait painting series epitomizes New York’s Lower East Side avant-garde cult society. The series conveys the anthropology of young people; specifically the artists close friends and their coming of age.
GALERIE TROIS POINTS
Milutin Gubash is pursuing a multidisciplinary art practice combining video, photography, and performance. Using facts from the everyday, historical and philosophical narratives, the artist explores how certain ideas about politics, identity and history can be manhandled. The visual world of Gubash mainly consists of members of his family and friends, often shown in outlandish situations or absorbed in deep thoughts.
RUTGER BRANDT GALLERY
Cultural identity and memories of her native country play a central role in the paintings, watercolors and drawings of Natalia Ossef. Based on found photographs and postcards she reshapes a past in an abstracted figuration in light pastel tones where faces and identity disappear. Distancing herself from her own background and its values she seeks to regain her past through her works and reshapes her memories.
