Please join us Thursday, November 13th from 6 - 8 p.m. for the opening reception of NUDE, a group show featuring the work of Lin Qiqing, Anam Rani, Noel de Lesseps, Elise Rise, Jeanie Yoo, and Kemar Keanu Wynter.

NUDE features works by six artists. Pakistani-born artist Anam Rani’s sculptures reanimate, reshape, and reclaim familiar objects’ significance to bridge worlds tangible and imagined, while the figures in Jeanie Yoo’s paintings investigate flesh as body, and flesh as family, highlighting its power and vulnerability as a vessel to transcend the corporeal while simultaneously calling one back home; Elise Rise’s paintings of fruit bodies explore the patterns that beget life when we slice through rind and skin to all that links us to nature, and Lin Qiqing’s woven paintings of linen, paper yarn, and mulberry paper reveal the infinitesimal fibers that constitute the internal struggle of being and existence; the small-scale paintings from Noel de Lesseps encourage proximity and boundlessness, the ecstatic marks and vibrant palette hinting toward untethered vitality; finally, Kemar Keanu Wynter’s abstract painting Urgent Rapture of Mind (Acai Bowl) beckons the viewer through a sensual field of pigment that reminds what has nourished us has also shaped us.

Together these works invite the viewer to enter into the intimacy of a singular, unfolding moment and ponder the fragility of the vessels which bore and contain us. Nude is an unzipping of temporality, a place to slip out of what has been ascribed upon us and instead meld with and reclaim personal histories and lineages—cultural, diasporic, and biological—a path to permeate the rich mysteries of our personhood.
