Jorge Mayet’s sculptures and installations draw from his experiences living as a Cuban exile in Spain. Suspended in midair, his photorealistic floating landscapes and uprooted trees offer ethereal, dream-like visions of his homeland. The exposed roots of the trees serve as a metaphor for diaspora, questioning the function of homeland. Mayet’s technique expands upon the region’s local craft traditions and honors the mysticism of the Yoruba religion, which was proliferated in Latin America by the Atlantic Slave Trade. @jorgemayet . . . #Arts #ContemporaryArt #ModernArt #Artista #ArtShow #Artstagram #Markers #ArtLover #LoveArt #ModernArtists #ArtGram #艺术 #Markers #現代美術 #artmoderne #ArteModerno #ArtPrint #现代艺术 #ArtGram #artmoderne #ArteModerno #jorgemayet #nycartgallery #nycart

“…in terms of inspiration, we now receive a huge amount of information all day long. So what truly matters before your style, before the medium, before everything, is what you want to say. There comes a moment when you have to forget all of it and just express what you want to say inside. Forget the movements, the trends, what’s fashionable… the second you think about that you’re done”- Aki Kuroda with i-D Magazine. . . . @aki.kuroda.officiel @vice @i_d . . . #akikuroda #Arts #ContemporaryArt #ModernArt #Artista #Artstagram #ArtLover #LoveArt #ModernArtists #ArtGram #艺术 #Markers #現代美術 #artmoderne #ArteModerno #ArtPrint #现代艺术 #ArtGram #artmoderne #ArteModerno #nyc #gallery

At Richard Taittinger Gallery, we have always strived to be an inclusive space. We've welcomed all artists, curators, and visitors alike from all walks of life. We believe in equality and justice for all. . . We are saddened and angry at the events that are unfolding in our country, at the injustice and racism that has been perpetuated in this country for centuries up through today. We deplore all forms of racism and injustice. We stand in solidarity with the Black community and all those that act in protest to these injustices. We are committed to educating ourselves and doing our part to amplify the voices of Black artists, curators, and our community. #BlackLivesMatter . . ’Code Noir’ is a sheet of wood from which the drama of slavery flows. It is the result of a series of injustices that the body of humankind has suffered. Since the day I went out on the street to sing of my freedom I have always asked myself the same questions, and instead, I met injustice. ‘Code Noir’ is my way of standing tall in the crowd. - Pascale Martine Tayou

🚨FOR SALE🚨Frances Goodman (@fjgoodman)has released new works including Her Secret, as pictured above. Hand stitched in South Africa, her pieces feature a beautiful, shimmering effect from the use of sequences. Her work explores what it means to be a woman from society’s and from self imposed standards; thus, she delves into tough questions that are central to demystifying what it means to be a woman in the modern age. . . . “What I love about the sequins is that with the reflective nature, the image never holds. When you go from one side to the other side, it’s a different image. Sometimes you see one detail, sometimes you see nothing, sometimes you can see everything. And what I think about these pieces is that it’s a metaphor for the idea of being a woman. There’s no one idea of what a woman is. It’s this constantly changing idea which is projected onto us”- Frances Goodman. . . . Her secret 2019 Hand-stitched Sequins on Canvas 77.5 x 110.5 x 5cm . . .

🌺 🥰 Happy Mother’s Day to every mothers! 🥰 🌺 #charlotteabramow Dear Mother (2016) explores the complexities of the mother-daughter relationship. Between mergers, tensions, proximity and the need for freedom and autonomy, a mother and daughter take turns swapping places throughout their lives. Tie, tear, sew like an automatism to come back to the other even after an injury an unconscious inability to separate completely, this unique bond in the world which exists between them confers an almost obligatory need to take care of the other, by unconditional love and by socio-family loyalty. On this balance in constant imbalance, an invisible guilt then settles in the unconscious of the girl when she comes to want to fly away and build herself. The mother will always remain a symbol of protection, referring to the origin and key element of the identity of her daughter, the basic pillar of her existence and its construction, but the time comes when the child experiences suffocation, dizziness and the need for a new air, to devote herself almost entirely to her identity, self-realization, and become an individual in her own right capable of doing facing the life that awaits her. This urgent need for autonomy and distance is then a test for the mother who must manage her emotions, and accept the metamorphosis of their relationship. #mothersday #motherdaughter #richardtattingergallery
