PARIS — October 2025. Jessica Silverman will participate in Art Basel Paris 2025, taking place at the Grand Palais from October 22 to 26. At Booth K4, the San Francisco–based gallery will present new and recent works by Sadie Barnette, Andrea Bowers, Julie Buffalohead, Judy Chicago, Sam Falls, Beverly Fishman, Isaac Julien, Atsushi Kaga, Dashiell Manley, Rebecca Manson, Masako Miki, Woody De Othello, Clare Rojas, Davina Semo, Rupy C. Tut, Catherine Wagner, and Margo Wolowiec. The presentation unites artists whose practices examine metamorphosis, memory, and resilience through vibrant material languages.

Highlights include a suite of lyrical paintings by Clare Rojas, whose works balance between geometric abstraction and figuration to evoke transformation and personal evolution. Atsushi Kaga’s Nature’s Resilience (2025) follows his rabbit alter-ego through a lush, symbolically charged landscape filled with insects and flowers.

Rupy C. Tut’s Hope for a Meeting (Wasl Ki Umeed) (2025) depicts a contemplative woman rendered in handmade pigments, reflecting harmony between internal and external worlds. In Julie Buffalohead’s How to Say No to a Lion (2025), mice and hares topple a lion’s crown in twilight, a fable of collective resistance.

Rebecca Manson’s Purple Aurora (2025), a sweeping porcelain wall installation, magnifies butterfly wings into a luminous field of fragility and endurance. Sam Falls transforms organic matter into ceramic works that embody time, chance, and process, fusing botanicals with melted glass to create what he calls “luminous fossils.”

Through these works, Jessica Silverman’s presentation explores transformation as both a natural phenomenon and a cultural metaphor—positioning art as a medium for social reflection, renewal, and psychological healing.
