Exploring notions of family silence and painting-as-catharsis, Christine Ay Tjoe’s first solo exhibition in the US debuts a new series revolving around the primacy of expressive gesture and a motif of blood. Borne out of processing the death of a parent and navigating the unspoken, the artist meditates on intergenerational relationships and the role of family silence in burying conflict and pain. 

'PURE GAZE' features 15 sculptural paintings from Tiona Nekkia McClodden's ongoing series ‘NEVER LET ME GO’, initiated in 2023. Debuting a new body of work, the exhibition furthers the artist's exploration of the idea of pressure through prolonged constriction, or a hold in excess of duration.

White Cube New York presents an exhibition of paintings by Sylvia Snowden (b. 1942, North Carolina), who lives and works in Washington, DC. Over a six-decade-long career, the artist has developed a psychologically charged painting practice that addresses the African American experience. In her compositions, distorted figurative elements are rendered through expressive impasto brushstrokes, with colour, texture and form translating into a spectrum of human emotion.
