Toyin Ojih Odutola “Of Context and Without” at Jack Shainman Gallery

Opening reception for the exhibition: Friday, December 11th, from 6 – 8 PM at 513 West 20th Street.

Jack Shainman Gallery is pleased to announce Of Context and Without, the fourth solo exhibition by Toyin Ojih Odutola at the gallery. In this selection of new drawings, Ojih Odutola incorporates chalk, ink, pen, and marker into textured portraits addressing the interplay between line and form, as well as context and perception. The subjects in the exhibition have been pulled from the vastness of everyday imagery, but Ojih Odutola transforms them into studies of mark-making and material, the results denying placement in any stable setting.
