Galerie Shibumi today announced its permanent new home at 13 Market Street in the heart of Manhattan's Chinatown with its electrifying inaugural exhibition, The Red Show. This bold showcase of art, fashion, and design marks a significant milestone as the gallery opens its doors to the public for the first time, spotlighting a dazzling array of paintings, sculptures, and photography.
The Red Show draws on the powerful cultural symbolism of the color red, deeply rooted in Chinatown's rich heritage, representing prosperity, energy, and transformation. At the same time, red is a statement color dominating fashion trends this season, setting the tone for Galerie Shibumi's fresh approach—where art meets style in a fierce and provocative dialogue.
Galerie Shibumi is proud to present a vibrant collection of works from artists who are pushing boundaries and rewriting narratives. The gallery's mission is clear: to champion creative expression from voices that are too often unheard and underrepresented.
Featured in The Red Show is Brooklyn-based artist Hill Spriggins, whose soulful and intimate paintings explore themes of humanity, love, and community. Originally from New Orleans, Spriggins draws on her experiences as a Black queer woman, infusing her work with the raw emotion of everyday life. Her art, which echoes the spirit of Alice Neel and Nan Goldin, serves as both a celebration and a powerful archive of the people and stories she encounters.
Joining Spriggins is Nicholas Cordeiro, a New York-based artist whose oil paintings, often laced with unconventional materials like coffee, navigate the tension between destruction and creation. His deeply personal work is shaped by the trauma of surviving a childhood house fire and explores resilience, memory, and the enduring strength of the human spirit.
Also taking center stage is Catie Cook, an MFA candidate at Washington University in St. Louis, whose Southern roots influence her provocative exploration of gender performance and societal expectations. Cook's art, steeped in symbols like beauty pageants and 1950s Hollywood glamour, critiques the performative nature of femininity while questioning the pressure to project perfection.
Together, these dynamic artists—alongside a curated group of emerging and established talents—are set to ignite conversations about identity, culture, and transformation through the lens of the color red.
Don't miss the chance to be part of this groundbreaking moment!
