.-Almine Rech Aspen is presenting Worship Works, an exhibition of new works by the artist Genesis Tramaine. This is Tramaine's third solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from July 16 to August 1, 2021.
WORSHIP WORKS! Inspired by my belief in Gods grace and Mercy! Is an affirmation series that informs my faith energy. I wanted to draw closer to God literally! So I spent a lot of time drawing... sketching... sometimes with my eyes closed, in hopes of giving further trust to God, a blind space. I allowed my self to be led, by the Holy Spirit! I dare not draw God but I can draw on Jesus and draw closer to his message of love. These worship works help me to be bold in my belief that God is for all Of us. God is bigger than our immediate and furthest understanding. I needed to rely on love to be used to birth these gospels, so I prayed for the presence of the Holy Spirit to occupy me, to use me. Im so grateful for this guidance, it has allowed me a self depth that transforms the work. There is a maturity, with this body of work, a comfort in my belief in Gods love for me. Each portrait is a testimonial prayer map, a physical manifesto of worship in devotion to Christ Lord Yahweh! While the works present portrait focused, they are aimed to detail the gospel, the good news! God Loves us all! - Genesis Tramaine
