Now representing Kern Samuel! Samuel’s second solo exhibition will open in February 2023.

Kern Samuel’s (b. 1990, Mount Hope, Trinidad and Tobago) practice centers on painting as a modality to explore material, labor, and the implications thereof. Such tactile engagements as sewing, quilting, dying, folding, embroidery, generate Samuel’s compositions, which often evoke infographic, diagrammatic modes of relaying information. Language, when included in Samuel’s works, is mediated through the grid of the quilt, subverting a didactic reading and lending the verbal a visual dimension. Text and representation are employed sparingly and in conceptual rhyming with material support, alluding to the everyday applications and intimate associations of a given substrate. Such tactics facilitate open readings, circumventing traditional critical models by privileging visuality and tactility over vocabulary. The generosity and expansiveness of this gesture is underscored by Samuel’s evocative titles referring to memory, the unconscious, and spirituality—the territories in which language is inefficient.

Recent institutional exhibitions include Bonner Kunstverein, Bonn, Germany (forthcoming); The Africa Center, New York (2022, traveling exhibition); and White Columns, New York (2022). Other solo and group exhibitions include Derosia, New York (2022); Bodega (Derosia), New York (2021); the bunker, Santa Monica Mountains, CA (2022); Gallery Aferro, Newark, NJ (2019, 2018); Theresa A. Maloney Art Gallery, College of Saint Elizabeth, Morristown, NJ (2018); and Jeffrey Stark, New York (2017).

‘The Dreamtime Particle Pretend’ opens this Friday, November 4! 💛

For his first solo exhibition with Derosia, Joel Dean continues his series Initials ‘A through Z and the Transformative Power of Symbolism in Storytelling,’ in which alphabetical characters are a point of departure for intricate, fantastical tableaus.

Throughout the series, Dean formally alludes to drop cap lettering, the convention dating to medieval manuscripts in which an oversized and embellished character initiates a new chapter or section of a text. The foundational structure of the alphabet becomes a pictorial frame for each unique scene. From this elementary method of signification, Dean forms serpentine narratives that at once refer to a complex personal symbology and proffer familiar iconic forms. Dean paints symbols known for their formal simplicity—hearts, stars, apples—yet subjects them to various iterations and incarnations across each painting. These motifs flutter atmospherically; imprint onto his figures; wither, wilt and break apart, constituting a form of mark making that renders each narrative of the same universe. Through this formal flexibility, Dean also underscores the prismatic nature of symbolism: allegorical meaning refracts and multiplies between transmission and reception.
