Oil on Copper
8.25 x 6 in
From convex still lifes and gauzy, vaporific self-portraits to mise-en-scènes in polished brass and linen, American artist Willa Wasserman’s (b. 1990, Evansville, IN) practice in painting and figuration is readily aligned with the world of dreams. Her images are loose and spectral––impressions plucked from the hazy essences of her sitters and various subjects, and at the same time cast in the pensive, indeterminate ambiance with which Wasserman embraces vital questions of intimacy and gender. She received a BFA from Hunter College in 2013 and an MFA from UCLA in 2019. Willa has had solo exhibitions at High Art in Paris, François Ghebaly in Los Angeles, and Downs and Ross in New York, as well as group shows in Portland, New York, and Los Angeles. You can view more of Willa’s works at the François Ghebaly Gallery and on her website.
