    Press Release

    COOPER COLE is pleased to present, Gravity Model, a group exhibition featuring artworks by the following artists: Nour Bishouty, Karishma D’Souza, Kate Newby, Jagdeep Raina, Kaveri Raina, Christine Howard Sandoval, Sindhu Thirumalaisamy, and Saul Hernandez-Vargas. This exhibition was conceptualized over a series of conversations between Simon Cole and Jagdeep Raina and will run from January 27 – March 2, 2024 in Cooper Cole’s east location.

    Gravity Model acts as a platform to unravel the complexities of transition, capturing the essence of change and evolution in our lives. Through the lens of each artist, movement is not just a physical consideration but a manifestation of emotional and psychological shifts. The exploration of the landscape goes beyond the mere visual representation, delving into the emotional connection between individuals and their surroundings. Feelings and memories become tangible entities, with each artwork imbued with nostalgia and experience that illustrate a story of human emotion and recollection. Gravity Model is an opportunity to step into a world where the complexities of being human are laid bare, provoking contemplation and inviting connection through shared experiences.

    The following poem is composed by Jagdeep Raina and accompanies the exhibit:

    Solace

    Walking barefoot, hair plaited with leaves from Assan trees,
    She arrives bearing fruit, flowers, and
    rose tea, placing it on the marble
    floor– a gift for the woman
    named Miracle Lady.
    Miracle Lady! She cries, Tell me
    how to find solace, find peace.

    The lady takes her hands– unfurls a
    long cloth stained with charcoal and dried crusty hoove
    prints of a bull that drapes her body–
    placing her slender blue fingers over
    her head, her fingers combing through her
    ink black plaited hair, her body calms.

    The cloth is dripping with movement that reminds her
    of the blue waves
    that smile, greets her with open arms–
    tell hers to follow
    the cloth towards the sea.
    The bull–with his silver horns–
    stands, waiting for her to touch
    his shimmering skin
    that flickers in the light
    of the waves, the water feels still.

    And in this solace
    the bull leaves her, eating up the cloth–
    as everything she once knew
    falls apart.
