Hadi Fallahpisheh (born 1987, Tehran) is a New York-based artist who creates works in the darkroom using a technique of painting on photosensitive paper with a flashlight. His idiosyncratic method of image making is a performance alone in the dark, probing provocatively at the history of photography. He stages scenes in vibrant colors with cats and mice, houses and cages, a darkly humorous reflection on his experience as an immigrant and the human condition at large. Fallahpisheh received an MFA in Photography from Bard College in 2016 and is a Teaching Assistant (Directed Research: Stephen Prina) at Harvard University. His recent shows include solo exhibitions at Tramps, New York; Central Fine, Miami and Fahrenheit Madrid; as well as group exhibitions at SculptureCenter, New York; TMOCA, Tehran; Blum & Poe, Los Angeles; Simone Subal, New York and Petzel, New York. He won the Artadia award in 2019. This print is offered as an extension of his upcoming exhibition Good at Efremidis, Berlin.

Sean-Kierre Lyons (born 1991, Salinas, CA) is a Brooklyn-based artist. Their work recuperates the characters and cultural context that shape Black American identity, examining the mutations of folkloric characters from the Antebellum period. With humor and searing acuity, their Flower Fighters series examines histories of representation and ownership, imagining friends and loved ones as the ebullient figures of a Black Flower Forest. These flowers are the fierce and benevolent keepers of the garden, embodying a community rooted in resilience and reciprocity. Their work is the subject of a forthcoming solo exhibition at the Fortnight Institute, New York and has been exhibited in group exhibitions at Housing, New York; Ochi Projects, Los Angeles; Springsteen Gallery, Baltimore and as part of Diamond Stingily’s Wall Sits at the Kunstverein Munich. This print is offered as an extension of The Clouds and Flowers are always taking notes at Larrie NYC, their third solo presentation with the gallery.

Edition of 10 + 2AP

SOLD OUT

Bjarne Melgaard (born 1967, Sydney) is an Oslo-based artist known for his transgressive paintings and installations that draw upon the likes of gay club culture, S&M, AIDS and addiction. His expressionist drawings and paintings don’t shy from excess, taking on such themes with a deadpan and hyperpersonal clarity. He has participated in the Venice (2011), Lyon (2013) and Whitney (2014) Biennials and his works are held in numerous public collections including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Musée d’Art Moderne et Contemporain, Strasbourg; and Moderna Museet, Stockholm. This work is offered as an extension of Bummed Out at Fineart, Oslo.

Edition of 10 + 2AP

SOLD OUT

Jill Mulleady (born 1980, Montevideo) is a Los Angeles-based artist whose works meld careful observation of everyday scenes and attention to the history of painting into highly elaborated imaginary worlds. Temporality seems to collapse, as if in hallucination of an alternate reality. A recent series of paintings included in the 58th Venice Biennale, from which these goats are lifted, take Edvard Munch’s Frieze of Life as a starting point. Selected solo exhibitions include Swiss Institute, New York; Kunsthalle Bern; Freedman Fitzpatrick, Los Angeles; Galerie Neu, Berlin and upcoming at Pond Society, Shanghai; Midway Contemporary, Minneapolis; and Gladstone Gallery, Brussels. This work is offered as an extension of her participation in the forthcoming Made in L.A. 2020: a version at the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles.

Edition of 10 + 2AP

SOLD OUT

Amy Sillman (born 1955, Detroit) is a New York-based artist whose work has redefined contemporary painting through her continuously evolving practice in painting, drawing, installation, zines and video. In self-isolation over the past few months, Sillman has begun her days drawing flowers in gouache, ink and pencil, an intimate insight into her investigative attention to color and shape. She has come to understand her abstract painting, to which she devotes the rest of her time, as a widened spectrum of the same language, something simultaneously continuous and distinct from these morning flowers. Sillman’s work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions at institutions including the Arts Club of Chicago; Camden Arts Centre, London; Drawing Center, New York; Portikus, Frankfurt am Main, Germany; Kunsthaus Bregenz, Austria; Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, Washington, D.C.; and the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston. Her works are held in the public collections of the Art Institute of Chicago; Brooklyn Museum, New York; Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York; Museum of Modern Art, New York; National Gallery of Art, Washington D.C.; and the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York. This work is offered as an extension of a forthcoming book of writings and drawings published by After 8 Books.

Davide Stucchi (born 1988, Italy) is a Milan-based artist whose work involves minimal interventions in existing materials to investigate social functions and representations of queer masculinity. His subtle manipulations often trace memories of touch, materializing absent bodies. In a series of light switch sculptures, he laid images of bodies choreographed for performance, dance or fashion into the banal domestic furnishing in a gently lyrical gesture. He borrows this sequined glove image from Francesco Vezzoli’s appropriation of the motif from a De Chirico painting. Recent shows include solo exhibitions at Deborah Schamoni, Munich; Galerie Gregor Staiger, Zurich; and Sundogs, Paris; as well as group exhibitions at Centrale Fies, Dro, Italy; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin; Quadriennale di Roma at Palazzo Delle Esposizioni, Rome. This work is offered as an extension of the recent group exhibition All Clothes Artists’ Own at Gregor Staiger, Milan.

SOLD OUT

Nora Turato (born 1991, Zagreb) is an Amsterdam-based artist who culls language from a culture oversaturated with information. Collecting phrases from the internet, advertisements, conversations or her own thoughts, she works across performance, script, installation and bookmaking. Her aesthetic expressions and sharp graphic sensibility tap into a profound hollowness of gentrified language—a sign of the times. Turato studied at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam and at Werkplaats Typografie, Arnhem. Turato’s work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Vaduz; Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, Porto; Galerie Gregor Staiger, Zurich; Sammlung Philara, Dusseldorf and upcoming at MGLC, Ljubljana. She has created 4 artists books, most recently pool #4, published alongside a performance presented by The Museum of Modern Art’s Studio Now. This work is offered as an extension of let’s never be like that with LambdaLambdaLambda at LA MAISON DE RENDEZ-VOUS, Brussels.

Puppies Puppies (Jade Kuriki Olivo) (born 1989, Dallas) is a Brooklyn-based artist. She is very emotional. Just ignore her or pay attention. It’s up to you. Jade’s mother was held at gunpoint while picking up her older brother from a school play. She broke her glasses and said she was unable to see them to identify the three men who were pointing the gun at her. They wanted her to come into the car with them but she avoided it…saving her life. This image is documentation of a project Jade initiated to get used guns off the market. The guns are melted down after purchased and only the trigger survives. These prints are Jade’s first works to be hand signed. Her work was featured in the 2017 Whitney Biennial, the 9th Berlin Biennale and X Nicaraguan Biennale. Recent exhibitions include Halle für Kunst, Luneberg; Barbara Weiss, Berlin; Queer Thoughts, New York; XYZ Collective, Tokyo; What Pipeline, Detroit; and Overduin & Co., Los Angeles. This work is offered as an extension of her participation in The Struggle for Change, Murmurs, Los Angeles.

Sowei Rupaul – African Diva

Edition of 10 + 2AP

SOLD OUT

Margaret Rose Vendryes (born 1955, Kingston, Jamaica) is a New York-based art historian, visual artist and curator. Vendryes’ African Diva Project, which began in 2005 as a painting series conceived to celebrate and connect popular Black women singers with their African ancestors, has evolved into the creation of mixed media works incorporating masks made by African craftsmen. The project investigates gender and power dynamics of the African Diaspora, taking as focal points African masks, which are made and worn almost exclusively by men, though they tend to depict female ancestors, as well as the early black female singers in the West, who were styled and marketed by white males in the record industry. Imbued with an ancestral aura, these portraits affirm black performers as powerful and autonomous agents of change. Vendryes received her PhD in Art History from Princeton University and is a Professor of Art History and Department Chair of Fine Arts at York College, as well as Director of the York College Fine Arts Gallery. She is the author of Barthé, A Life in Sculpture (2008) and Beyond the Blues: Reflections on African America from the Amistad Research Center Fine Arts Collection (2010). This work is offered as an extension of her painting Sowei Rupaul – African Diva, which is held in the Leslie Lohman Museum of Art collection, on the occasion of the museum’s fiscal sponsorship of this platform.
