Jessica Rankin: Available Works

Jessica Rankin, Strange Currents, EA, 2020. Ink, acrylic and embroidery on linen 182.9 × 243.8 cm

Hello Art Supporter members,

In advance of our next virtual event in April, Jessica Rankin at White Cube in London, I’m pleased to share with you a list of works from the exhibition.

Jessica Rankin is an established Australian artist who lives and works in New York. She primarily works with embroidery, needlework and in this new series introduces painting into her practice. Traditionally seen as feminine pursuits, Jessica uses embroidery and needlework to explore themes of memory and mind-mapping. Jessica has had a stellar career thus far, showing with high profile galleries and biennial exhibitions around the world.

Here is a link to the list of works from the exhibition which opens today, 17 March. Available works include pieces on stretched linen and paper.

Please get in touch with me if any of these are of interest.

Kind regards

Chiharu Shiota: Available Works

I Hope, 2021. Lamp (drawings, chandelier, Stainless steel, Heat-resistant Satin Glass, transparent Din A5 sheets). 28 x printed artworks by the artist. 65 x “I HOPE…” pages to customize. 1 x hand-signed and numbered page.

Hello Art Supporters,

Following our very special virtual event last week, Chiharu Shiota at Koenig Galerie in Berlin, our International Curatorial Associate Anais Lellouche has kindly shared a list of available works of the artist.

There is a waiting list for her drawings in EU but the ones in the shared list are available for purchase in Australia. I thought it was also interesting to note that the sculpture ‘Belonging' is a cast of the artist’s hand, her husband and their child coming together as one unit.

Anais has also added the editioned mobile of 'I Hope' — a lamp with suspended drawings, where you are also invited to add your messages of hope!

Here is a link to the list of works.

Please get in touch with me if any of these are of interest.

Kind regards

Devoted to the Global South, SOUTH SOUTH was conceived by Johannesburg's Goodman Gallery and now brings together a consortium of international galleries which exchange and collaborate with the goal of creating a wider and more inclusive art world.

To kick-off, the program will host a live vernissage and online bidding auction on Tuesday, 23 February, at 1pm GMT. Amongst available works, you’ll find a paper-based work by beloved Australian artist Lindy Lee, a tapestry by Syrian-American Etel Adnan (featured in our Visionary Women Artists Masterclass), a collage by Brazillian Beatriz Milhazes, known for record-breaking auction sales, a multi-layered work by acclaimed South-African William Kentridge, and a unique print by British-Nigerian Yinka Shonibare CBE RA from the Young British Artists generation.
