Firelai Baez, Fruta Fina, Fruta Estrańa (Lee Monument) (2022), via James Cohan

For painter Firelei Báez, abstraction takes it cues form alchemy; gesture and material commingling in the artist’s hands in order to realize new spaces, new forms, and new ways to see the world. Incorporating this concept into senses of the body and of the world, her works tug at the notions of how we live, and how we might rethink the material of life through new modes of transformation.  This notion sits at the core of the artist’s work in her new show at James Cohan, where a series of canvases explore these modes of thought in detail.   Read More »
