Svenja Deininger: Calvairate
22 November - 21 December 2024
Marianne Boesky Gallery
509 West 24th Street
Marianne Boesky Gallery is pleased to present Calvairate, a solo exhibition of all-new work by Svenja Deininger (b. 1974; Vienna, Austria).
With Calvairate, Deininger presents a fresh-from-studio suite of untitled paintings, developed over the course of the past year in her Milan studio. Formed by gently curving vertical lines; rounded corners; and subtle cross-hatching, these visual motifs reappear throughout the exhibition. Rich, saturated hues—indigo and cerulean, crimson and maroon, chartreuse—define the work.
Calvairate borrows its title from the Milanese neighborhood where the artist lives and in which this body of work was made. Located southeast of the city’s center, the largely residential district dates to sometime in the 16th century. On a map, the neighborhood appears as a small, irregular rectangle with curved corners—a shape that recurs throughout the paintings in the exhibition. Read more in the press release linked here.
Calvairate will be on view alongside Jammie Holmes: Morning Thoughts in Marianne Boesky Gallery’s adjacent Chelsea space at 507 West 24th Street. (press kit: www.molly.nyc/morningthoughts).
