Brooklyn-based Sedrick Chisom’s first solo show in New York features eight large and six small paintings in two rooms on the gallery’s ground floor, and three large charcoal drawings, all dated 2024, along with three vitrines of collected reference materials in the basement.
What the exhibition aims to document are contemporary artists’ reactions to a shared, ongoing global ecological crisis and protests against it. Many of the works provide sanguine visions for a possible future marked by a symbiotic relationship between humans and “nature”—which, more often than not, is consonant with natural history and bare wilderness.
