This event has ended.
Almine Rech New York presents Break of Day, an exhibition of new works by Genesis Tramaine. This is Tramaine’s fourth solo exhibition with the gallery, and the first at the New York location, .
Psalm 46:5 God is in the midst of her, she will not be moved;
God will help her when morning dawns.
At the dawn of things—blood, sun, moon—Genesis Tramaine is her most powerful. In her new show, Break of Day, the breadth of her power, the breadth of God’s power as it moves through the artist, is on full display. Genesis Tramaine invites you to a new beginning, one that reflects an evolution. “I was in a space where I had to trust God differently this time around. My tools changed, and there was growth in the process. I used different mediums. I used more organic materials and a different part of myself, meaning I’m trusting a different part of myself. I’m listening in prayer and receiving differently. The work speaks to that,” Tramaine said.
Rain water. Salt. Oil sticks. Acrylics. Spray paint. With mixed media, Tramaine finds the divine in her subjects and brings out that divine in unexpected ways. She makes paintings that are both otherworldly and of this world. The work is visually arresting and powerful; stunning and sanctified. She creates astonishing colors in hues that reflect the depth and sincerity of Tramaine’s devotion.
