SUMMARY:Roses\, Ruffs\, and Reflections | Alicia Brown\, Claire Partington\, Tony Scherman
DESCRIPTION:Winston Wächter Fine Art\, New York is pleased to present “Roses\, Ruffs\, and Reflections”\, a group exhibition featuring works by Alicia Brown\, Claire Partington\, and Tony Scherman. Each artist employs traditional techniques and historical styles in distinctly different ways that continues the conversation of the deep-rooted constructs of power and oppression that have been seen throughout generations. The works are hauntingly hopeful and carry the strength of persistence\, wrapped together with a bit of humor in their visions for the future. \nIn Imaginary Homelands\, Alicia Brown celebrates the perseverance of migrants who have left their home countries either voluntarily or by force. Brown uses portraiture to tell the stories of friends and family from Jamaica residing in the United States. She combines elements from Jamaican culture including native plants\, animals\, objects\, symbols\, and idioms with elements from Western art and history. In doing so\, Brown examines the duality of who a subject was in their homeland and who they become in order to adapt and survive in a foreign culture. Objects such as Elizabethan ruff collars evoke narratives of power\, control\, and social status\, while native Caribbean plants create an environment of home. In these powerful portraits\, Brown celebrates the ingenuity with which immigrants both adapt to and shape their adopted homes. \nClaire Partington’s mixed-media ceramic sculptures draw from both traditional and contemporary art practices. Referencing portraiture conventions from throughout art history as well as contemporary social media\, Partington humorously comments on constructs of gender and power. Echo and Narcissus are a pair of sculptures inspired by Greek Mythology. Echo\, a mountain nymph who could only repeat the last word that she heard and Narcissus\, who fell in love with his own reflection\, are depicted as teenagers absorbed in their phones. These porcelain and earthenware figures reference not only antiquity but fashionable sculpture from the 18th century. In these and other works\, Partington playfully mixes up imagery from antiquity\, social media\, art history\, folklore\, and fashion to prompt questions about interpretation and narrative\, particularly about women\, and particularly about power.  \nTony Scherman works in the ancient technique of encaustic by layering wax\, oil paint\, and pigments to build deeply expressive paintings. His series\, For all the wise women persecuted as “witches”\, is dedicated to women throughout history to the present day who have been punished for their wisdom\, progressiveness\, or determination. Each piece depicts two roses\, illuminated in an ethereal yellow-green light against a swirling dark ground. The flowers stand out against a depth of darkness as petals\, leaves\, and other elements play and shift along the surface of the painting. The roses are a tribute\, a hopeful beacon of perseverance against the oppression of forward-thinking women. \n  Save

SUMMARY:Opening Reception | Camille Billops: Mirror\, Mirror
DESCRIPTION:Camille Billops\nMirror\, Mirror\nFebruary 16 – March 25\, 2023\nOpening reception: February 16\, 2023\, 6:00-8:00 pm \nRYAN LEE is pleased to announce Mirror\, Mirror\, a solo exhibition of works by the multidisciplinary artist\, filmmaker\, and activist Camille Billops. Featuring a series of ceramic mirrors\, etchings\, and drawings\, this is the first significant solo presentation of Billops’s later work. \nInfused with experiences of travels abroad\, including globally informed artistic practices\, Billops first began forging space for her art and activism in the 1960s in New York. A pioneering member of the emerging black artists movement\, her work and activism were entwined\, engaging with civil rights alongside exclusionary systems of the art industry at large.  Throughout her life\, her artwork drew from these themes\, from the ever-presence of racism to gender dynamics\, black culture\, and personal narrative and history. \n “All my work is about the celebration of family\, my private stories and personal vision\,” shared Billops in a 1985 interview published in ISSUE\, A Journal for Artists. Referencing the Kaohsiung drawings – originally made in Kaohsiung\, Taiwan\, three of which are featured in this exhibition – she shares that the characters are in fact her and her husband\, James V. Hatch\, after a “magnificent fight.” \nBillops was not only comfortable turning the intimate outward\, she was strategic about it\, using exposé as a tactic to confront the follies and failures of life\, and resolutely unafraid to include her own. For a 2012 show\, Billops had commented that her art is “about ‘victory over obscurity and ignorance\, and confirmation of herself.’” In this sense\, we are able to grasp a fuller picture of the artist\, whose activism and committed preservation of black arts and culture is as large a part of her legacy and impact as her work is. Her output\, holistically\, is perseverance – at once personal and collective. \nBillops’s sense of self-confirmation through self-portraiture\, refrained in the Kaohsiung drawings\, is inherent to the nature of her later mirror series. Begun in the early 2000s and completed in 2011\, these metaphorically reflective works are likewise literal presentations of the viewer\, placing us squarely within the contexts of the frame. \n In some\, the mirrors’ ceramic-frame illustrations are figurative\, as in Untitled (Checkered) (2003)\, where cartoonish characters engage in a mock-Americana tableau evoking a realm of behaviors from suspicious to blithe. In White Woman with US Flags (2011)\, the denotation may be more literal\, but the style breaks molds with its looseness of form\, as variously proportioned pieces of ceramic dance across the frame. The artwork is detailed with American flags placed amidst the other ceramic pieces\, each painted with a shadowy fist raised in silhouette against the stripes. \nAlso included are her Mondo Negro series of lithographs. This presentation of works\, shown together for the first time\, honors Billops’s canonical output as an artist-activist. In five variations\, Billops portrays in bold\, slanting lines\, characters and snakes at times falling and at times burning in abstracted landscapes portraying a “black world.”  The series continues to bring her perceptive artwork into conversation not only with its own multimedia contexts\, but also with those broader contexts that are presciently resonant within them.  \n  Save
