Art Basel Hong Kong
Marianne Boesky Gallery, Booth 3D20
For Art Basel Hong Kong 2024, Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present new work by three painters: Jammie Holmes, Celeste Rapone, and Michaela Yearwood-Dan. Continuing the gallery’s long-standing commitment to championing artists throughout their careers, the Art Basel Hong Kong presentation reveals evocative points of connection and dialogue among these three artists’ formally inventive and politically nuanced practices.
New work by Jammie Holmes (b. 1984, Thibodaux, LA): Holmes’ work for Art Basel Hong Kong examines social classism in America. With his signature motifs and symbols, Holmes infuses refined party scenes and portraits of imagined characters with distinct narratives.
New work by Michaela Yearwood-Dan (b. 1994; London, UK): In her newest work, Yearwood-Dan continues her ongoing investigation into contemporary culture and millennial political concerns. Lush and brightly hued, the paintings are both personal and political, engaging with pop culture as well as notions of femininity, beauty, and joy.
New work by Celeste Rapone (b. 1985; New Jersey): Set in a suburban shopping center, Rapone’s newest body of work—the Mall Paintings—reflect the “mall-like” quality of the art fair atmosphere. Working from memories of a youth spent hanging out in shopping malls, Rapone infuses scenes of sunglasses kiosks, food courts, and massage chairs with a sense of ambiguous timelessness.
