Hashimoto Contemporary is pleased to present Lack of Pleasure, a solo exhibition by Los Angeles-based artist, Jillian Evelyn. Lack of Pleasure is Evelyn's inaugural solo exhibition at Hashimoto Contemporary and debut solo exhibition in New York City.

 

The exhibition features a series of new paintings, depicting stylized and angular female figures set in ambiguous environments. Continuing her exploration of themes around womanhood, as well as the struggles and anxiety surrounding societal expectations, the works featured in Lack of Pleasure look to the present moment, capturing introspective scenes which capture an all-too-familiar feeling of apathy. Each figure is contemplative and self-examining, floating in color fields which separate them from being grounded to a particular place.

 

The artist states,

 

"I don’t think I’m alone in saying that this last year has been difficult. I think a lot of people related to the New York Times calling out this feeling as “languishing”. That feeling is all I could conjure when I sat down to draw, its all I could see in a lot of the people around me...I was looking for ways to dissociate. This body of work is just that, it’s being stuck & the moments we try to push past it."

 

Please join us Saturday, September 18th from 10am to 6pm for the opening of Lack of Pleasure. The artist will be in attendance.

 

The gallery will be releasing a new limited edition screen print with the artist in conjunction with the exhibition. For details please email info@hashimotocontemporary.com 

 

The gallery will be open by appointment only. In order to ensure the health and safety of visitors and staff, please note that masks are  required for entry. To schedule an appointment, please click HERE. 

 

The exhibition will be on view Saturday, September 18th  to Saturday, October 9th. For more information on this exhibition or to request an online collector's preview, please contact NYC Director, Jennifer Rizzo, at nyc@hashimotocontemporary.com
