carlier | gebauer is pleased to present a solo exhibition with the Australian artist Jessica Rankin. There and Not There will be the artist’s fifth exhibition with the gallery.
An artist and poet in equal measure, Rankin is perhaps best known for her expansive embroideries, collages, and watercolors that combine celestial maps and landscapes with fragments of original and found writings. The works in There and Not There mark a radical shift in the artist’s materials and approach. While earlier works were primarily rendered in silvery and lavender monotones, and embroidery thread was used to create slippages between landscape and text, the new works delve much more deeply into the language of painting.
