About the Gallery
Sargent's Daughters was founded in 2014 on the Lower East Side. The gallery takes its name from the painter John Singer Sargent, who was an innovator working in a traditional medium. Accordingly, the gallery interest is in artists whose work combines the same qualities of tradition and cutting edge. In addition to exhibitions by represented gallery artists, Sargent's Daughters creates collaborations as a platform for exploring new conversations within a wider context and presents a strong female program, often highlighting overlooked artists working outside the established gallery world. The gallery has a history of granting young artists their first exhibition opportunities. Sargent's Daughters was the first to exhibit Jordan Casteel, Cy Gavin and Wendy Red Star in their debut NY solo shows, as well as placing works in major museums such as the Museum of Modern Art in New York City. The gallery produces catalogues to further the dialogue of the artists' work.
About the presentation
Sargent’s Daughters will present a three-person show featuring works by Yevgeniya Baras, Brandi Twilley, and Lauren Dare. New York-based Baras combines oils with various found and unconventional materials in highly textural abstract paintings addressing ideas of language, migration, and translation. Her works develop over the span of several years, accumulating layers that frequently stray beyond the boundaries of their supports. Paint operates like layers of memory for Twilley, whose recent series Crest Foods revisits her time working at the titular grocery store chain in Oklahoma. These intimate works depict the difficult realities of working-class life with flashes of beauty, transcendence, and dark humor. Dare creates complex fields of refracted color with an active and gestural process across media, including ink, acrylic, and marker on both paper and wooden forms. Since 2011 she has practiced with Creative Growth in Oakland, which advances the inclusion of artists with developmental disabilities in contemporary art.
