Daughter of Earth and Water
solo exhibition
Almine Rech Brussels
April 23 - June 7
Opening on Wednesday, April 23, 2025 from 5 to 9 pm
Almine Rech Brussels is pleased to present 'Daughter of Earth and Water', Sasha Ferré's third solo exhibition with the gallery, on view from April 23 to June 7, 2025.
How to paint something that, once present and visible, will no longer obstruct my eyes or my body? How to paint so that my eyes and my body will encounter, before and around them, nothing but a crossable space: a medium, like a palpable ether, where seeing becomes endless, and the body limitless?
Sasha Ferré establishes space, meaning that she opens it. She is armed only with her approach to the canvas, this way of painting that resembles a dancer’s movement: her quick hand curls around itself, leading the body to follow. Thus she advances, constructing and erasing at the same time, making a path through the openness. An oil stick becomes an extension of her hand and is warmed in her grasp, becoming fluid through contact with her skin. Her art is about fluidity, vital energy that is transmitted from the body to the instrument and from the instrument to the canvas—unless it’s the opposite, or even a constant back-and-forth: an exchange. When she paints, Sasha Ferré passes through, and something passes through her. The fluid flows in her as much as from her. This painting is life through actions, circulating and being transformed. Dance has taught her that a body that paints is a painted body, opened by painting as limitless action.

PhillipsX is proud to be presenting its first selling exhibition of the new year, Creative Confluence. This exhibition celebrates the ways in which community, shared experiences, and collective intelligence shape artistic expression in contemporary culture. A portion of proceeds from the Los Angeles Exhibition to be donated to Wildfire Relief Efforts in the Region. Featured artists include: Shirin Abedinirad, Ferguson Amo, Kim Dacres, Tara Donovan, Sasha Ferré, Rugiyatou Ylva Jallow, Mario Joyce, Samuel Nnorom, Ryan and Trevor Oakes, Ryan Schneider, Ferrari Sheppard, Phillip K Smith III, and Martha Tuttle.
“Creative Confluence centers on the concept of Scenius, which reimagines genius as a collective force that emerges when artists and thinkers collaborate within a shared cultural space. Through this exhibition, we aim to blur the lines between artist and audience, individual and collective, and process and product, presenting a diversity of voices across various mediums and practices.
The city of Los Angeles has historically always been strengthened by the unity of its community. Now more than ever, at this significant moment in the city’s history, we look forward to drawing attention to the true innovation that arises from the rich interplay of individuals and shared experiences.” —Miety Heiden, Deputy Chairwoman and Head of Private Sales, Phillips.
