Jeffrey Gibson “ANCESTRAL SUPERBLOOM” is now open at Sikkema Jenkins & Co.! Please join us this evening for an opening reception from 6-8pm.

This body of work sees Gibson, who is a member of the Mississippi Band of Choctaw Indians and of Cherokee descent, further engaging ideas of cultural and q***r identity, authenticity, and artistic referentiality. His practice explores a hybridity of visual languages and creative lineages, challenging mainstream representations of Native American art and underlying essentialist narratives. Traditional methods of patterning, textiles, and beadwork are synthesized with repurposed objects, bold abstraction, and popular literary and musical references, disrupting ideas of Indigenous cultures as singular and fixed in time or place. Addressing the struggles and triumphs of marginalized communities past and present, Gibson’s compositions reflects a vision of radical joy, q***r affirmation, and collective perseverance.

Happy Birthday to Cameron Martin!

In his work, Martin explores modes of information transmission and presentation, articulating the potential for abstraction to carry and convey meaning parallel to what is assumed in figuration. Drawing upon a growing lexicon of “almost-signs,” his paintings and drawings engage the viewer’s recognition of familiar cultural forms and their associations without explicitly defining their signification. This sense of incomplete readability opens a productively ambiguous space of representation within his work, mirroring its prevalence in the larger world. Patterns, logos, and shapes reminiscent of those found in everyday life are contextualized within a new visual terrain across the canvas, simultaneously inhabiting spatial formations evocative of current information delivery systems and developing distinct ontological relationships to one another.

“Era”, 2022, one of Cameron’s recent paintings, will be on view at our booth at (Booth H9)

For The Art Show 2022, Sikkema Jenkins & Co. is pleased to present a selection of new works by Louis Fratino.

Louis Fratino creates deeply intimate paintings and drawings from personal memory and the quietly sublime offerings of everyday life. His figurative subjects include lovers, friends, family, and the artist himself, illuminating the human body as a site of vast emotive expression. Sexuality, intimacy, and q***r desire are understood as natural, constant; suffusing the psychical atmosphere of his scenes in vibrant and comforting familiarity. Invoking an art historical lineage of modernist painters—including Henri Matisse, Pablo Picasso, Marsden Hartley, and Georgia O'Keeffe—Fratino’s work mines the possibilities of communion and connection, amplified through the seductive power of the painted surface.

Fratino’s interiors and still lifes extend the gestural, sensuous embodiment of figuration into the realms of the domestic and iconographic. The tonal and emotional qualities of light refract a glowing tenderness upon the spaces and items that populate the artist's life, rendering the quotidian routines associated with a particular time of day in lush clarity. Specific objects—fruit, photographs, sketchbooks, small sculptural pieces—appear and reappear in scenes, residing within the visual narrative of Fratino’s oeuvre and persisting like a memory. Searching for a sense of q***rness in the gestures of everyday life, Fratino considers the nuanced interactions of light with form, space, and surface as realms of potential discovery.

Wardell Milan: "Recent Work" is currently on view at the Benton Museum of Art at Pomona College. This solo exhibiton presents two distinct but related bodies of work: five monumental billboards on the Pomona College campus and four large works on paper in the Museum's entrance foyer.

engages practices of drawing, photography, painting, and performance to create works of varying scales that center the representation of the human figure. Arresting and seductive in their dramatic fragmentation of form and vibrant use or color, Milan's work captivates and encourages sustained consideration.

The billboards—Milan's first outdoor campus-based project—lead the viewer on a journey through the college. Inspired by the work of French philosopher Jean-Luc Nancy, they offer profound meditation on the marginalized body, one for each billboard: the quarantined body, the Black body, the migrant body, the female body, and the trans body. The large-scales works on paper on view in the Museum entrance similarly employ multiple techniques of image-making to disassemble and reassemble the human form, examining the practice and concept of figuration itself. By making and remaking the body through this transparent process, Milan exposes the emotional vulnerabilities and respective possibilities of the physical self, transmuting violence into beauty and isolation into belonging.

Wardell Milan: "Recent Work" is on view at the Benton Museum through April 2. Visit to learn more!

Yashua Klos: "OUR LABOUR" is now open! This exhibiton expands upon the show's spring 2022 presentation at the Wellin Museum of Art, including new collage pieces and sculptural works.

Constructed from individual maple cubits, Klos' spiritual welding masks draw influence from the designs of West and Central African cultures, including those in Mali, Burkina Faso, and the Congo—regions to which Klos traces his own distant ancestry. These masks were traditionally used in a public, religious contexts, covering the individual identity of the wearer during performances of conjuration and spiritual activation. In the modern-day context of welding, masks are a necessary occupational safeguard, and an essential part of an industrial worker’s uniform. Klos’ sees his sculptures as hybrid creations, existing between and mediating the dual capacities of invocation and protection. He completes each mask by torching its wood exterior, allowing the flames to indiscriminately char the surface. Klos views this torching as transformational: fusing together these forms and histories, while activating and releasing the mask’s power beyond the hands of its creator.

Yashua Klos: "OUR LABOUR" is on view through December 3.

Jeffrey Gibson’s immersive installation “They Come From Fire” is now on view at the Portland Art Museum!

This immersive, site-responsive installation transforms the exterior windows on the facade of the museum’s main building as well as its two-story interior Schnitzer Sculpture Court. On the windows, Indigenizes the Museum through color, design, and text with “TIMELINE.” The selection of moments foregrounds the history of the region that impacted Native people for over 200 years. Inside, the artist worked with on 12 suspended glass panels that evoke protest posters and project light and color onto a wall of photo portraits of Indigenous, BIPOC, LGBTQ+ artists and community members. Coinciding with a survey of Dakota modernist Oscar Howe, the installation will serve as a bridge between the museum’s contemporary and Native American art collections.

Jeffrey Gibson: "They Come From Fire" is on view at through February 23. As a fundraiser to support the installation's production, the artist created a limited edition print with Mullowney Printing Company in Portland. The edition of 50 prints, titled "They Come From Fire," is a multilayered offset relief print on several layers of handmade Japanese colored gampi paper, with screen printed gold ink flocked with metallic mica on text.

Sikkema Jenkins & Co. is pleased to present "OUR LABOUR," a solo exhibition of recent work by Yashua Klos, opening October 22. First shown at the in spring 2022, "OUR LABOUR" will be Klos’ inaugural exhibition at the gallery. This presentation at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. expands upon the body of work created for the Wellin and debuts several new sculptural and collage pieces.

Yashua Klos approaches the idea of identity as multi-faceted, adaptive, and ever-changing. His process employs a unique intervention on traditional methods of woodblock printing: carving, inking, and hand-pressure printing to create his own source material for collaging. He then cuts and arranges these separate printed elements to form exquisitely textured, amalgamated portraits.

The body of work featured in "OUR LABOUR" is significantly personal for Klos, who recently reconnected with his estranged patrilineal side of the family through a match on a DNA test. The eponymous central piece of the exhibition seeks to represent the various manifestations of labor that have shaped the architecture of Klos’ family for generations. The monumental woodblock print and ink canvas was inspired by Diego Rivera’s Detroit Industry Murals at the Detroit Institute of Arts; Klos sought to conceptualize them as a compositional blueprint for his own family tree, and the legacy of his family’s work in the Detroit auto plants. For Klos, replacing and reimagining the anonymous, mostly white male subjects of Rivera's murals with portraits of his own Black relatives becomes its own form of record-making and keeping—an affirmation of his family’s labor, both within their relationships to one another, and the larger, overlooked history of Black labor that built the United States.

Yashua Klos: "OUR LABOUR" is on view October 22 through December 3. A public opening reception will be held Saturday, October 22, from 6-8 PM.

Happy Birthday, Erin Shirreff!

"I like reframing or looking again at things that have had their moment but that still exist everywhere with us now. When you encounter a large-scale modernist sculpture in a park or in a corporate plaza that was made in that era and was probably really unconventional and unsurprising at the time, what remains of that experience now? How do our contemporary bodies experience those works? I like thinking about what is left and what is lost there, we well as the possibilities in new translations and confusions. I still love looking at those old sculpture anthologies. The pictures can be so crazily, profoundly mysterious. I think about the new stories you can make with this stuff from the past—the imaginative space you can carve out of this material." —Erin Shirreff, 2019

Erin Shirreff's work is currently on view in the group exhibition "Sculpture as Verb," at through December 11!

Solo exhibition Marlene McCarty: "Thicker than Water" is currently on view at . Born in Lexington, KY, this show is the time the McCarty is exhibiting in her hometown.
marlene is known for her drawings that examine aspects of sexuality, articulation of power, and social formation. Using graphite, ballpoint pen, and occasionally watercolor, she has made composite portraits of teenage female murderers, as well as humans interacting with other primates.

McCarty's family has resided in Kentucky for two centuries. She recently donated large portraits of her parents—Phyllis Lee James McCarty and William Kenneth McCarty—seen with their grandchildren. Both drawings play with time, mixing and inverting the actual ages of the subjects and using details of clothing and hairstyle to further complicate the personal narrative.

This exhibition pairs these two works with a large triptych "GROUP 2" (2007), an almost symmetrical drawing that shows male and female caregivers who nurse, comfort, and communicate with several chimpanzees. The humans are partially n**e, reducing the differences between themselves and the chimps, and suggesting a clear lineage and inter-species intimacy. These two bodies of work raise questions about memory, legacy, and the complex space that exists between nature and nurture.

Marlene McCarty: "Thicker than Water" is on view through January 14. Visit for more information.

Opening today at ! Jeffrey Gibson: "THIS BURNING WORLD," a site-specific installation of new video work. This is ICA SF's inaugural exhibition, on view for its grand opening, Saturday, October 1.

Gibson writes:
"'THIS BURNING WORLD' speaks to the urgency and importance of our collective relationship to the planet. It places the earth under the ICA SF building in dialogue with video of the natural world beyond these walls. This installation is a reminder to the hidden land, 'This is where you come from. Aren't you incredible!'

The openings in the floor are an opportunity for the earth to breathe and serve as a portal for us to speak, give thanks, and apologize to the land for our treatment of "them." The hundreds of videos, shot mostly in the Hudson Valley, capture the seasonal and evolving natural environments where I live and work. Joan Henry speaks and sings to the earth, the trees, the water, the mountains, the animals, the sun and the moon.

Indigenous kinship worldviews have provided the conceptual framework for this installation. these perspectives acknowledge the elements of our natural environments as our equal ancestors, living relatives, and as extensions of our minds and bodies. When we damage or treat the land without regard for its own sustainable well being, we are in turn hurting and damaging ourselves and disregarding our own well being, safety, and health."

Jeffrey Gibson: "THIS BURNING WORLD" is on view through March 26. Visit for more information and a schedule of grand opening events, performances and activities.

Happy Birthday, Yashua Klos!

"OUR LABOUR," a monumental woodblock print and ink canvas, was inspired by Diego Rivera’s Detroit Industry Murals at the Detroit Institute of Arts, which Klos first viewed while visiting his relatives in the city. Sometime after, Klos began to conceptualize Rivera’s murals as a compositional blueprint for his own family tree, and the legacy of his family’s work in the Detroit auto plants. In it, the original faces of Rivera’s anonymous, mostly white male workers are replaced with portraits of his own Black relatives. For Klos, reimagining these subjects becomes its own form of record-making and keeping—an affirmation of his family’s labor, both within their relationships to one another, and the larger, overlooked history of Black labor that built the United States.

"We Hold The Wildflowers: Yashua Klos" is currently on view at , through October 29! An expanded version of his solo exhibition "OUR LABOUR," previously shown at the Wellin Museum of Art this past spring, opens October 22 at Sikkema Jenkins & Co.

Luiz Zerbini's monotypes, entitled "Dry River," are a series of vibrant, hortulan prints created through a non-reproducible process. Leaves, flowers, branches, and other natural materials are laid on a metal plate, painted, and then pressed against a sheet of Washi paper; leafy veins, spindly roots, and curling petals take form against luminous patterned backgrounds. The resulting impression captures the intricate morphology of these floral elements, physically translating the botanical realm into a two-dimensional space. Each monotype can be seen as a constituent vision into the ever-shifting ecosystem of the "dry river," a graphic construction of vegetabl system transformed with paper and paint.

Luiz Zerbini's monotypes are currently featured in the solo exhibition, "Dry River," on view through October 15!

Maria Nepomuceno: "Dentro e fora infinitamente" is open now at ! This solo exhibition of recent and significant work by .nepomuceno is on view through December 26.

Across decades, Maria Nepomuceno has developed a collaborative and generative relationship with a group of female artisans in northeast Brazil renowned for weaving carnauba palm straw, native to the region, into functional objects. Nepomuceno has experimented with this medium, inventing new shapes, patterns, and forms that incorporate traditional techniques while also integrating more unconventional materials such as beads, raw clay, ceramic, resin, and rope. Emerging through the evolution of this labor-intensive method, the resulting works oscillate between collage, painting, and sculpture. Reflecting the spirit of Nepomuceno’s practice, with references to Brazilian flora and fauna, each woven structure appears as its own complete and beautifully balanced ecosystem, made up of a seemingly endless and complex network of interconnected and overflowing elements. Several recent works on view engage the architecture of the window, and relate to the longing for movement and connection between internal and external, indoor and outdoor, that Nepomuceno experienced during the COVID-19 pandemic.

On view now! Work by William Cordova in the group show "Beyond the Surface" at the and the solo presentation "on the lower frequencies i speak 4u (sacred alchemy, reclaiming spaces)" at the LeRoy Neiman Center for Print Studies ().

In 2019, William Cordova was invited to the Neiman Center to collaborate on an ambitious mixed media edition comprising both three-dimensional objects and two-dimensional printed work.

Inspired by the art, music and culture of Harlem, “on the lower frequencies" contains 14 prints, eight Polaroids and three editioned objects all housed in a laser engraved wooden boombox, conceptually reminiscent of Duchamp’s mini monograph, La Boîte-en-Valise.

While a number of the prints in the edition use screenprint as their starting point, the majority rely on extensive hand work including techniques and materials such as photo-collage, stapling and graphite drawing.

The edition is the result of the artist’s personal experience living and working in Harlem as well as research he did at the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture.

Sikkema Jenkins & Co. is pleased to present "Dry River," a solo exhibition of recent work by Luiz Zerbini, on view September 7 through October 15. An opening reception will be held at the gallery on Wednesday, September 7 from 6-8 PM.

Nature, history, and the relationship between humans and the land foreground the visual identity of Luiz Zerbini’s artistic practice. Integrating both geometric and organic forms, his work draws upon the natural and urban imagery of his native Brazil. Lush, undulating vegetation and earthen textures meet mosaic-like facades and linear architectural constructions, bringing these ecologies into a shared landscape. The large-scale painting "Dry River" (2022), after which the exhibition is named, exemplifies his use of the grid composition as the structure of an imagined landscape of plants, trees, leaves, and textural fields.

"Dry River" follows Zerbini’s recent major institutional exhibition, "The Same Story is Never the Same," at Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) in Spring 2022. In it, Zerbini critically reinterprets several iconic scenes within the genre of Brazilian historical painting to represent the violent legacies of European colonization and its lasting oppression of Indigenous populations and the environment. Two works, the painting "Rio das mortes" (2021) and the table installation "Jewels of the forest," were originally presented at MASP and are included in "Dry River." As one of Zerbini’s “history” paintings, "Rio das mortes" interrogates the enduring system of ecological violence enacted by illegal gold mining operations upon the Indigenous Yanomami people of Northern Brazil. "Jewels of the forest" brings forth material traces of the forest into the gallery space, displaying an array of seeds, shells, rocks, and leaves as reclaimed treasures held in jewelry cases.

Alongside these canvas paintings will be shown a series of new monotypes, also entitled "Dry River," and the recent short film "Xamãpacurá." Both works imagine the botanical world as fantastical realms, vibrant and otherworldly in their ecological diversity.

This Saturday, August 20: Trisha Brown: "In Plain Site" at Rockaway Beach for BEACH SESSIONS].

For this performance, will traverse the shoreline with "In Plain Site," a program highlighting a selection of seminal Early Works by Trisha Brown. Chosen specifically to respond to the beach and its shoreline, the series of works culminates in a re-staging of Brown's iconic "Opal Loop" (1980).

This program celebrates Brown's ongoing source of inspiration—the natural world and its properties. Fluidity, chaos, pressure, gravity and the organic are always considered in Brown's expansive choreography, sound, and set design. By bringing these dances to the beach, these elements become active collaborators in her work.

Trisha Brown: "In Plain Site" will be held on Saturday, August 20, at 5:30 PM. It will begin at Beach 97th St and move down the shoreline to Beach 110th St; audiences are encouraged to follow the dancers along the site.

Now on view! "Project 2: Kara Walker," at National Gallery of Australia] through February 2023. This is 's first monographic exhibition to be held in Australia, and features new acquisitions along with a selection of works curated by the artist specifically for the museum.

Walker is recognized globally for her graphically striking work with black paper silhouettes and her subversive representations of the racist imaginary developed and popularized during the antebellum era of slavery. Depicting her protagonists—Black and white—entangled within North American mythologies of freedom and liberation, Walker challenges her viewers to critically examine the conventionally understood boundaries between past and present, the perpetuation of racist and gendered stereotypes in popular culture, and the global systems of oppression and exploitation brought about and enforced through colonial enterprises.
