Today is the LAST DAY to view—BOLD by DOKU BORLABI at JONATHAN CARVER MOORE.

Featuring eight artworks from the gallery’s first artist-in-residency program, these pieces merge the themes Doku captured in Ghana with the unique “characters” he met in San Francisco. The exhibition title, “BOLD,” reflects discussions between Moore and Doku. It portrays the Black beauty of Ghanaian people and San Francisco residents, highlighting their confidence and unapologetic self-expression through fashion, presence, and mannerisms.

We deeply appreciate all the love and support during our first artist-in-residence program. Thank you to everyone who visited, purchased artworks, wrote about BOLD, and collaborated with us on content, programs, and events.

A special thank you to DOKU for trusting us and embracing this journey together as we launched.

COMING SOON to JONATHAN CARVER MOORE: Infinite—A Solo Presentation from Victoria Mara Heilweil.

“Mothering is not something you can’t plan for, you can only embrace the moment. Like water, it has fluid edges with no end - it is infinite.”

Two years ago, Victoria Mara Heilweil made the courageous decision to send her teenager to a therapeutic boarding school, prioritizing his mental health and safety. Through this difficult period, as she navigated the tumultuous waters of hope and despair, courage and fear, and fortitude and immobilization, she came to understand the profound importance of empathy, flexibility, and the power of change.

Originally started in 2017 with abstract photographs of water, and then recently integrated with Heilweil’s self-portrait work—‘Infinite’ was born.

Infinite is a contemplation of water as both a symbolic emotional state and a physical element. The imagery places greater emphasis on visual sensation than realistic depiction, creating an embodied response to the water. Removing the horizon line amplifies the infinite space, forming an expanse that plays with our sense of the micro and macro, challenging us to reflect on our relationship with the presence or absence of boundaries.

In viewing this body of work you are not simply looking at the water - you are immersed in it. Through the use of the camera, and design, Heilweil captures those single fleeting and invisible moments. This body of work, like water, is constantly in motion; dynamic, unstable, and rapid.

Infinite is a site for reflection—offering a tranquil space to pause and reflect on one’s thoughts, feelings, and connections.

INFINITE debuts at Jonathan Carver Moore on JUNE 20TH.

Namita Paul’s “W.M 265” is included within P L A C E: Reckonings by Asian American Artists—currently on view .

Curated by Judy Koong Dennis and Zoë Latzer, the exhibition features various art forms and is divided into three sections; The first section explores the challenges of migration and immigration, questioning the concept of being “American.” The second section addresses racial discrimination, labor exploitation, and violence against Asian American communities. Lastly, the third section presents perspectives on belonging, gathered through recent social projects engaging Asian Americans and immigrants in cross-cultural dialogue and research.

Paul’s work featured within the first section, spans 15 feet across and approximately 6 feet high. “W.M 265” delves into memory and a particular architectural setting, inspired by the artist’s recollections of visiting her grandparents’ residence in Punjab during her childhood.This residence holds significant history, serving as her birthplace and a sanctuary for her grandparents following the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947.

This interdisciplinary work is made of indigo-dyed canvas, burlap, sequins, acrylic photo transfers, LED lights, and currency. Paul shares “the work, which started as a personal journey into memory and history has now become a memorial to my ancestors.”

Don’t miss the opportunity to view “W.M 265” today!

ON VIEW NOW are new works by at Booth 116.

As a textile artist Adana Tillman explores the journey of identity through her figurative portraits. Within the African Diaspora, grace is not always given by others to explore with fashion, hair without being judged.

In her works the figures are living out loud and unapologetic. In the mixing of bold patterns, colors in the fashion to the various hair style shows each figure on the lifelong journey of self-discovery.

Each piece incorporates found textiles acquired through the artist’s travels. Her mother has developed an extensive library of fabrics over the years and sometimes sources those materials. The artists’ hand dyeing of textiles has become a large part of the practice.
