From the artists statement: "I feature empowered women who exist for and by themselves, away from any form of fetishization. In my practice, the body is not just an external shield or shell - it is inherent to female identity, and painting it is a way of revealing the very essence of femininity. From a formal perspective, my work plays with negative space using a reduced color palette to form contrasting silhouettes. Shapes create lines, guiding the viewer into the essence of women."Through my artwork, I seek to connect intimacy and universality. My characters don’t have distinct features or identifiable faces, their skin colors are for the most part not even connected to skin color as we know them. This allows me to showcase women as a universal entity, an essence of womanhood. And at the same time, their nudity reveals their intimacy. These women are every woman, each of them unique and universal. My silhouettes of nudes are never sexualized or objectified. Through the representation of woman's bodies, I address many different themes including intimacy, strength, power, happiness, and freedom, but also anxiety and vulnerability. I represent confident women who are who they want to be, multifaceted, empowered, mysterious, and universal.” - Faustine Badrichani

Berlin HOUSEK Young - Re-Framed/Re-Photographed June 10th | 18:00 Drinks & a Show ;) Auguststr.35, BerlinRSVP to [email protected]

K Young (they/them) is a lens-based artist living and working in London, UK. A graduate from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, K Young works primarily with collage and a process, which they term re-photography. Using appropriated photographic imagery found in second-hand books and magazines, the artist intervenes on the material, instinctively cutting, splicing and re-joining it, giving rise to a fortuitous collage which is then photographed and printed, once or several times, as it returns to its original form as a photograph. Questioning notions of truth, interpretation, and the unconscious, K addresses themes ranging from visual codes and conventions to identity, gender politics and sexuality.

NYC HOUSEBhojan - Sarasvathy TKSolo ShowJune 9th | 6pm-9pm Opening at Foley Gallery59 Orchard Street, NYC 

Artist Sarasvathy TK will be presenting Bhojan, an exhibition of twelve paintings of Indian food depicted in a hyperreal style.

Bhojan, defined as “meal” in Hindi, presents intricate depictions of a panoply of Indian foods that may be served as an elaborate meal on a special occasion or presented to an honored guest. Starting with a meticulously rendered Mango Lassi as an aperitif, moving into several main courses and ending with Jalebis for dessert, the paintings are true to life in their colors, textures, and vividly captured details. Food, especially in the diaspora, is so inextricably linked to culture and heritage that it is almost a cliche. Sarasvathy takes that cliche and blows it up to super-human size to provide fresh reminders of how truly delectable the food is while alluding to its diverse histories and migration patterns.

Basel HOUSEARTPOWHER Contemporary at VOLTA Basel Art FairPresenting Ishita ChakrabortyJune 13 - 19, 2022Preview: Monday, June 13, 10 am - 2 pm, by invitation only

for details or access email dear member  [email protected]

(from the press release)Chakraborty’s upcoming art installation CAN YOU DIVIDE TEH SKY? comprises sculptures, drawings and poems. It explores stories of identity and puts forward questions around our coexistence, borders and migration. The works will be connected in material and textual practices, and a multitude of clay mushrooms will sprout throughout the installation. The mushroom installation is the result of multiple participatory workshops in which refugees, migrants, and locals shared their stories and engaged in crafting mushrooms as an enriched community experience. The hue of the mushrooms alludes to the skin color of the hands that sculpted them. Chakraborty says: "Mushrooms migrate. They grow wherever they find nutrients. And so, I started depicting people as these little mushrooms. Just like in a natural ecosystem, we are also connected by our stories and experiences.“

Chakraborty was inspired by Anna Tsing's book "The Mushroom at the End of the World “. An exploratory essay on capitalism based on one of the most valuable edible mushroom in the world — the Matsutake mushroom. The author also describes how people migrate across the globe in mutual dependence alongside plants in search of nutrients, whether in the form of carbohydrates or love.

ART BASEL Coffee Catch up Basel Edition June 15th | 10:30 CoffeeeeeeRSVP to [email protected]

Member love Poggio Tempestacurated by Caterina FondelliOpening June 11Via Francesca Sud Poggio Tempesti, 1550050 Cerreto Guidi (FI)from 4:30pm 

Put one foot before the other, breathe, take your time, if you feel the need, get rid of your footwear..Try to choose freedom. This exhibition asks you about it, it requires you to try to leave aside some preconceptions and rules that forces you to follow already marked routes.

“Poggio Tempesta” was born after many walks, made of fatigue and rumination, demanding paths and courage undertaken as the only inner flame. From this place, so familiar in all its inclinations, perspectives, roughness and sweetness, you run away and come back as if wrapped in a rubber band, without being able to leave it.

If you start this journey, please do it with some time available and with a mind ready to welcome presences, evocations and narrations. It is an itinerary without planned directions, explore and decide what shape to give it, a circle, a spiral, even a star, there is no guidance.

What is certain is that you will encounter many details to observe, that you will have to keep your eyes peeled because nature here can make fun of your perceptions and the artworks have to be discovered. Whenever you come to a revelation: stop. Examine every portion of the entities conceived by the artists, don’t limit yourself to the first glance, linger and let them tell you what they have to say.
