HIBA SCHAHBAZ Dreaming at Sunset Archival pigment print 18 x 24 inches Limited edition of 10 with 6AP + 1PP |
| Born in Karachi, Pakistan, Hiba Schahbaz is a Brooklyn-based figurative painter who works primarily with paper, black-tea, and water based pigments. Her subjects, largely drawn from her lifelong practice of self portraiture, inhabit a dreamlike, all-female world. Addressing issues of personal freedom, destruction, sexuality and censorship, Schahbaz’s work unveils the beauty, fragility and strength of the female form. “Dreaming at Sunset” is an homage to ritual, spirituality, and shared human histories. Engaging in the breadth of cultures with female sea creatures and goddesses, such as the Inuit Sedna, West Africa Mami Wata, or the South East Asian Suvannamaccha, the artist created her own myth of a woman’s gulf of tears and sadness, blessing her with a magical tail to swim the sea of her tears and find strength in vulnerability. |

SHONA MCANDREW Kaguya Limited Edition of 20 with 4 AP |
|
| Shona McAndrew is known for paintings and sculptures that depict women in their personal spaces. Drawing from a variety of historical and personal references, she renders fleeting yet intimate moments of vulnerability in the daily lives of women seldom portrayed in art history. Standards peddled by mass media, but also as a celebration of the physical and intellectual idiosyncrasies that every woman should revel in. Clad in her undergarments, the subject appears entirely confident in her own skin. |

The artist highlights the alchemizing nature of women’s productivity and drawing analogies to labor both seen and unseen in jovial color and lively, geometric compositions. Rendering her digital drawings into paintings through a wide variety of media and techniques, the artist invigorates the physicality of life and labor with ecstatic color and unexpected details. |

LILY WONG Touch Limited edition of 20 with 5AP + 1PP Signed and numbered by the artist |

Lily Wong is a figurative painter, whose layered narratives invoke a sense of curiosity and yearning around the conditions that inscribe and complicate memory. Often stemming from moments of private and shared cultural fragmentation, the artist’s works—featuring subjects who move through dreamlike spaces and disoriented time—weave together elements of fantasy and drama. Reflecting on her wider practice, she remarks, “My works investigate the subtle ways in which cultural and intergenerational experiences manifest and live within the body.” |
