Gabrielle Raaf "Old Masters (Pine) from solo show Trail. R9000" 2017 ​ ​Raaff works with ethereality. She uses the media of ink, watercolour and water based oil as a vehicle for alluding to the form, the function and the emotion of her subject. Landscape and its reference both to actual place and places of the subconscious are what can be found lurking in her paintings.

Roman Martynov "Sustainability" ​ ​The principles of sustainable development are finally being discussed not only in laboratories, but also in large companies, as well as in the art world.

Created exclusively for this MOCA benefit edition, Untitled 2021 coalesces numerous layers of painting and drawing atop an original black and white print proof.

“Sexuality, love - all our gestures - they are learned gestures and learned relationships through the experiences we have in early childhood...maybe it’s a way of driving towards the origin of these forms and systems of relationships that we have, but also it’s a way to address and the way we consider the future, the way we project ourselves into the future.” ​ Camille Henrot in conversation with Artspace about her take on motherhood, her new print, and her revolutionary hopes for a post-pandemic world. ​ Visit the link below to read the full interview

Artspace is thrilled to announce Mother Tongue, a signed limited edition print by contemporary artist Camille Henrot, created in partnership with Museum of Contemporary Art Los Angeles. ​ Mother Tongue shares its title with Henrot’s current solo exhibition of new works at the Kestner Gesselschaft, in Hanover, Germany, and can be read in various ways—by design. Its rich visual beauty belies a deeper inquiry into the nature of humanity itself. Referencing language as a means of appropriation, and the mouth as a site of both expression and consumption, Mother Tongue drives cracks into the iconic art historical trope of mother and child. Its intentional ambiguity sparks existential questions about instinctual and imposed attachment, affection, and alienation that, for many, have risen to the forefront of our awareness during a year of quarantine. ​ Visit the link below to secure your edition today!

Tran Van Thao "Circle", 2016 ​ ​Tran Van Thao (Vietnam, b. 1961) is one of Vietnam’s foremost abstract painters, although his subject matter is grounded and concrete. The city, his family, and surrounding landscapes are sources of inspiration as much as the vagaries of the human condition.
