LIGHT OF WINTER

Perrotin New York is pleased to present Light of Winter.

October 29 – December 21, 2024

Light of Winter brings together international, established and emerging artists that shed light on societal constructs of self, offering new interpretations. Through exploration into our relationship with the natural world, cultural histories, and processes of introspection, the artworks on view invite us to contemplate our own place within an ever-changing ecosystem. Art can be seen as the conduit not only to reflect on our current times but to offer hope for the future.

All the artists that are part of the exhibition are Jean-Marie Appriou, Daniel Arsham, Lee Bae, Roman Cochet, Jean-Philippe Delhomme, Cairo Dwek, Julia Von Eichel, Michael Flomen, Charles Hascoët, Thilo Heinzmann, Soren Hope, Alexander James, Rashid Johnson, Izumi Kato, Claire Lehmann, Shim Moon-Seup, Keisho Okayama, Jean-Michel Othoniel, Anna Plesset, Hayal Pozanti, Youssra Raouchi, Gabriel Rico, Park Seo-Bo, Kuldeep Singh, Jake Troyli, Vickie Vainionpää, Xavier Veilhan, Bao Vuong, Xiyao Wang, Chris Watts, Charisse Pearlina Weston, Leon Xu and Dustin Yellin.

Entering the exhibition, Jean-Philippe Delhomme’s series of three paintings follow the pensive reading of a book by Henri Matisse. Each work is derived from keen observation over a one-time painting session, capturing the fleeting moment of a still life or temporary presence of his model. Nearby, the paintings of Xavier Veilhan reduce natural landscapes to their most essential vocabularies of shape and color. In their abstraction, the artist’s gradient landscapes illustrate endless interpretations of earth and space in hues of blue, grey, yellow, and pink.

In another process of thoughtful reduction, Korean artist Lee Bae pursues a formal study on the color black and materiality in the search for a pure expression of form.
