Sean Kelly is delighted to return to Art Basel Miami Beach at the Miami Beach Convention Center. Our booth showcases a dynamic selection of painting, sculpture, photography, and works on paper from the gallery's international roster of artists, including new Camouflage paintings by Anthony Akinbola constructed from stretched, draped and layered pieces of multi-coloured durags; Julian Charrière's large-scale heliograph's on highly polished stainless-steel plates depicting Los Angeles oil fields; Jose Dávila's signature cut out photographs, which appropriate images from Richard Prince's Cowboys series; Awol Erizku's large-scale painting adorned with sports iconography of the Miami Hurricanes, which draws inspiration from the addition, removal, and obfuscation of logos associated with street culture; new paintings by Laurent Grasso that depict plant mutations in the style of 18th and 19th century botanical plates; the sophisticated photographic compositions of beautifully detailed architectural spaces by Candida Höfer; Ilse D'Hollander's paintings, which employ linear compositions, intense shifts in colours, and textured surfaces to highlight the dialogue between representation and abstraction; richly vibrant paintings and a totemic cast aluminium sculpture by Donna Huanca, whose work explores the human body and the natural world through mark-making and raw materials; Callum Innes' Exposed Painting, which reveals a variety of rich colours buried within seemingly monochromatic pigments on canvas; a large-scale photo-based work by Idris Khan, which layers multiple musical scores on an aluminium panel, emphasising the passage of time and music's universal visual language; new abstract paintings by Hugo McCloud, which find beauty in everyday construction materials, including tar paper and single use plastic; a new photo-painting from Mariko Mori's ongoing Genesis series, visualising the invisible light that reaches every part of the world, which are inspired by drawings of the oldest creation myth in Japan; macro photographs of peeling paint and the deterioration of post-wall Berlin by Frank Thiel reflecting recent social and political histories; lyrical abstract paintings by Janaina Tschäpe, canvases characterised by gestural mark-making and expressive surfaces; a new Kehinde Wiley painting, which blurs the boundaries between traditional and contemporary modes of racial representation situated within the traditions of art history portraiture; and Wu Chi-Tsung's masterful Cyano-Collages, which blend traditions of Eastern 'Shan-Shui' painting with Western photographic techniques to create hypnotic landscapes.
This year Sean Kelly has been invited by Art Basel Miami Beach to participate in the inaugural edition of Access, a curated sale in which 10 percent of the sales price of Wu Chi-Tsung's Cyano-Collage 182, 2023, will be donated to The International Committee of the Red Cross and The Miami Foundation.
