About the Item

"Isabella", 2024 Joris Ghilini's current artistic output takes a variety of forms, from painting and sculpture to site-specific installations. It is rooted in his studio, a place of pictorial and sound experimentation, where research and questioning of the notion of iconography form the essential basis of his approach, even to the point of jeopardizing it. For him, creation is by nature imperfect, and as a result, the object of his work is to some extent defeated. Everything is a pretext for producing, reproducing, and constantly coming back to it, leading to the very idea of the palimpsest as a step forward in the progression of his work, in other words, an incessant "Work in Progress". In this way, he does not hesitate to seize on the "déjà-vu" or to overturn myth, the hero or the sacred, to demystify, divert and weaken it in order to tell a new story.

    By Mark Steven Greenfield
    Located in Santa Monica, CA
    Halo presents an amazing cast of historical black figures, most of whom were legendary and mythic characters in their time, but have been nearly lost to the vagaries and biases of history as seen through a white lens. With Halo, Greenfield brings the stories of Black folk-saints, martyrs, freedom-fighters, survivors, magicians, and visionaries back into view. Many of the figures are from the 1400-1800s, a timeframe that corresponds with Europeans beginning to use racial distinction as a tool to justify slavery. Greenfield honors their simultaneously disturbing and astounding lives by bestowing them with halos, traditionally seen as reverential symbols of adoration and respect. “I am reimagining what a saint is,” Greenfield says. “Maybe in studying their stories, they can inform us on better ways to live.” Thought to have been a descendent of central African royalty...
