Two works by Willa Wasserman are on view in ‘Attrition’: Both ‘Clair’ and “Passage’ (2025) are characteristic of the artists’ tendency to blur the margin of dream versus reality. Emily Steer writes, “Sometimes using unconventional materials such as brass and copper sheet in place of canvas, her paintings are a powerful representation of metamorphosis. This is in part due to her materials: linseed oils which age, and metals that oxidise or develop swirling patinas. Many of her paintings have an iridescent glow from their metal backgrounds, creating the effect of a three-dimensional space that the viewer could slip into, rather than an enclosed flat surface. Her works are intimate and personal, featuring self-portraits of the artist and other figures in repose. These scenes bleed into the space around them, sometimes warping entirely into abstraction. Their changeable nature and illusive forms reflect the constant evolution of sexuality and the self, rejecting rigidly fixed positions.” Further work by Wasserman will be on view with @francoisghebaly at Art Basel in Miami this December, followed by a solo presentation at @travesiacuatro in Mexico City. ‘Attrition’ is on view now by appointment in SoHo, NYC.
