Jack Shainman Gallery will present the first solo exhibition of works by Rose B. Simpson. Located at 513 West 20th Street, the exhibition features Simpson’s ceramic and mixed-media sculptures, which will be making their New York City debut.
Rose B. Simpson’s ethereal figures function as her hopes and prayers for both herself and the world around her. These sculptures represent her never-ending investigation into the human condition and act as messengers of her intentions.
Growing up on the Santa Clara Pueblo and apprenticing for her mother, a well-known native artist, Simpson learned to express herself through her craft. Just as the clay records the process of making within its surface, these beings are also the physical manifestations of the artist’s self-work. Whether exploring ancestral memory, post-colonial stress disorder, or frustration with navigating the polarizing nature of contemporary society, her pieces speak to these personal journeys.
Gallery hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 10AM to 6PM. For other inquiries please contact the gallery at moc.namniahskcaj@ofni.
