Press Release

Sean Kelly is delighted to announce its participation in Art Basel Miami Beach 2025, debuting the gallery’s new booth location, Booth D26, situated at Plaza B near the East B entrance on Washington Ave. Bringing together an intergenerational selection of artists working across painting, sculpture, drawing, photography, and mixed media, this year’s presentation highlights practices that explore memory, matter, transformation, and the body, while offering incisive perspectives on identity, ecology, history, and perception.

A major focal point of the booth is Spiral Economy a new wall-mounted work by Julian Charrière, shown alongside two works from his acclaimed Veils series. Charrière reframes mechanized consumerism by transforming a vending machine into a sculptural meditation on extraction, deep time, and the ocean as commodity. Hugo McCloud’s new plastic paintings, depicting a tennis court and magnified floral silhouettes, continue his interrogation of resources and consumption and drawing attention to global consumerism through layered painterly compositions. Laurent Grasso also addresses humanity’s impact on nature in his palladium-leaf floral painting from Future Herbarium series, which intertwine historical scientific research with speculative futurity. James Casebere’s photo work depicts structures surrounded by water, using this recurring motif as a metaphor for time, while evoking the urgency of the climate crisis and celebrating human ingenuity. A Unity photo painting by Mariko Mori reflects on the interconnectedness of all things and embodies her broader practice at the intersection of art, science, spirituality, and technology. Mori**’**s critically acclaimed exhibition Radiance is currently on view at Sean Kelly, New York.

Shown for the first time in the US, Donna Huanca’s sculptural works in stainless-steel and mixed media hover between bodily presence and sculptural autonomy. Whereas Brian Rochefort’s vivid new Crater sculptures feature eruptive, textural forms that merge ceramic experimentation with geological reference. A major new painting by Janaina Tschäpe evokes invented ecologies in which nature, memory and mythos intertwine. In her new work, Lindsay Adams**,** debuts a layered abstract painting whose lyrical fields of color engage collective memory and contemporary gesture.

The booth presents a range of abstract painting, including a work on paper by Gerhard Richter and a luminous new Exposed Painting by __Callum Innes, foregrounding the tension between application and erasure; Wu Chi-Tsung’s recent Cyano-Collage merges traditional shan shui aesthetics with photographic experimentation, offering a potent meditation on image-making and the passage of time.

Artists addressing identity and its visual constructions include Anthony Olubunmi Akinbola****’s durag Camouflage paintings, which extend his investigation of identity, surface, and cultural materiality. A photograph by Awol Erizku synthesizes symbols from art history, popular culture, and Afro-diasporic traditions into striking, culturally reframed images that assert his singular Afro-esoteric aesthetic. Shahzia Sikander’s major new drawing continues her pioneering redefinition of miniature painting traditions, while a new painting by Kehinde Wiley presents an intimately scaled portrait that continues his reinvention of art-historical canon through the lens of contemporary identity.

Several artists on our booth are featured in concurrent programming throughout Miami. Sam Moyer__’s exhibition Against Time, presented by YoungArts and Sara Arison at The Jewel Box in Wynwood, features three new monumental paintings. A smaller scale Clipping work by Moyer will be exhibited on our booth. We will present a new pigmented-concrete sculpture and photographic cutout by Jose Dávila on our booth, whose work will also be in the UBS Lounge and the group exhibition Fragments of Displacement, organized by FF Projects, at the Miami Produce Center. We will also feature new textile works and paintings by Ana González. Her work is included A World Far Away, Nearby and Invisible: Territory Narratives in the Jorge M. Pérez Collection at El Espacio 23, in the Allapattah neighborhood of Miami.

Together, these works place diverse artistic voices in conversation across generations, geographies, and material histories. Sean Kelly’s 2025 Art Basel Miami Beach booth reaffirms the gallery’s commitment to rigorous, visionary, and expansive cultural inquiry.
