Press Release

Esther Schipper is pleased to present Entre ciels et terres : contingences humaines, Thomias Radin’s first solo exhibition in France, and his third exhibition with the gallery. On view will be new paintings and sculptural works, as well as a wall painting.

Thomias Radin’s (b. 1993) Entre ciels et terres : contingences humaines bring together key elements in the artist’s practice. Especially conceived for the space in Paris, the exhibition begins with a suite of new paintings that reflect a sustained attempt to capture fleeting movements. Works appear executed in broad, dynamic gestures, with figures caught mid-motion. The figures are often seen only in fragments. Motifs of feet or muscular backs play with the ambiguous mix of beauty and threat. The tension felt in the depiction of young Black bodies‒objectified and instrument of cultural expression ‒ bespeaks this dual legacy.
