Organizer: Galerie Lelong & Co., New York

Type/Location: In Person / New York, NY

Description:

Galerie Lelong & Co., New York, is pleased to announce a solo exhibition by Pinaree Sanpitak, her first with the gallery and first in New York since 2017. Entitled Fragile Narratives in reference to the personal and profound experiences of womanhood conveyed by the works on view, and the serenity and sensitivity with which Sanpitak handles them, the exhibition will present new paintings and sculptures. The works on view exemplify Sanpitak’s visual language, innovative use of material, and unflinching endeavors to represent through her practice her experiences of womanhood and the connections between the bodily, self, spiritual, and sacred.

About the Artist:

For over three decades, Pinaree Sanpitak (b. 1961, Bangkok, Thailand) has explored her sense of being in the world, emanating from and in dialogue with her own body and experiences. Deploying a concise vocabulary of signifiers in a sensual, minimal style, Sanpitak reduces her artistic language to its essence to create a joyful experience of feeling and sensing, widening and engaging the body in its many dimensions: individual, social, spiritual, aesthetic. After the birth of her son, Sanpitak centered representations of the breast in her practice to epitomize the beauty she found in the experience, while other forms have since found their way into her lexicon to address themes of womanhood, nurture, spirituality, and more broadly, the experience of being human in the world.
