Steven Zevitas Gallery is pleased to present 𝙎𝘾𝙀𝙉𝙀, an exhibition of new paintings by Chicago-based artist Assata Mason. Through luminous, larger-than-life figures, Mason explores the complexities of personhood: the desire for independence amid social expectations, the uneasy balance between ambition and fear of failure, and the search for meaning in the face of uncertainty and mortality. Throughout the exhibition, these tensions open onto the possibility of transformation and renewal.

Mason’s figures command attention while rewarding close inspection. Broad washes of pigment pool and seep into the canvas, while thicker passages of paint gather in the shadows. Bodies stand, crouch, fall, and emerge, their physical presence offset by the fluidity of the surfaces they inhabit.

Across these works, Mason gives private anxieties a visible form, exploring how personal desires become entangled with the expectations of others. Through her figures, she considers how a person might shape a life amid the pressures that shape them. Painting becomes a means of confronting what might otherwise lead to paralysis, allowing fear and uncertainty to be examined. To speak and make oneself visible is to open the possibility of change. Hope emerges through the difficult, persistent act of moving forward.

Rather than offering direct depictions, Seaberry creates emotional portraits of the elemental forces and seasonal changes that shape human connection.

While Seaberry’s practice is typically grounded in the past, Jackson’s often contemplates possible futures. Primary Sources honors both the intimate histories upon which their friendship has been built and the architecture of language that will sustain it in the years ahead. Through this shared catalogue, their work and their minds meet, at last, in the present.

Thank you to lan Donnis of Ocean State Media NPR & PBS and Jordan Seaberry for a thoughtful discussion about the connection between art and political activism.

You can see the paintings from this interview on view at the gallery in “Primary Sources: Alex Jackson + Jordan Seaberry.” The exhibition focuses on the relationship between both artists and the momentum and kinship that can be built when the myth of the secluded artist is abandoned.

In Jordan Seaberry’s words:

“I want artists to realize that yes, we spend a lot of time in our studio, but we also go to coffee shops; we work with galleries; we work with museums and curators. All of those relationships are opportunities for folks to build power, to spread those ideas through conversation and relationship, to build collective power together. I think it’s perfectly fine if artists want to spend a chunk of time alone in the studio painting; that’s what I do. But then you also have to get out and work in a group. Everything matters as long as it’s together.”

This exhibition is presented concurrently with Alex Jackson and Jordan Seaberry: Primary Sources at Steven Zevitas Gallery. Across both exhibitions, these artists come together through familial kinship. While Primary Sources develops an architecture of relationship, Primary Sources: An Implicated Threshold, questions the limiting construction of established structures. While these frameworks promote legibility and organization, they can also constrain the possibility of imagining new forms, relationships, and understanding. Bringing together found materials, reworked diagrams, and forms drawn from domestic, scientific, and institutional histories, the exhibition pushes against the threshold between what is recognized and what remains outside of fixed systems of perception.

Please join us Friday September 4th from 5:30-8pm for the opening reception of 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴, a two-person exhibition with Alex Jackson and Jordan Seaberry 🥀

The myth of the artist working alone in the studio is a subtle but persistent fallacy. Although painters may apply pigment to canvas in isolation, the foundations of their images, and the conceptual frameworks that support them, are often built through connection and exchange. For more than a decade, artists Alex Jackson and Jordan Seaberry have shared countless hours of conversation, moving between literature and media and life’s joys and sorrows, always sprinkled with the mundane humor of everyday existence. 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘮𝘢𝘳𝘺 𝘚𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘤𝘦𝘴 serves as a bibliography of their friendship, with each artist paying homage to the moments, ideas, and objects that have shaped their development together as artists and as people.

While Seaberry’s practice is typically grounded in the past, Jackson’s often contemplates possible futures. This exhibition honors both the intimate histories upon which their friendship has been built and the architecture of language that will sustain it in the years ahead. Through this shared catalogue, their work and their minds meet, at last, in the present.
