For nearly 25 years, Claire Oliver Gallery has showcased and celebrated artwork, with a focus on work by women and people of color, which transcends and challenges the traditional art historical

canon.

THE NEWARK MUSEUM OF ART REOPENS Meet Artist Gio Swaby, the 29-Year-Old Phenom Whose Sold-Out Debut Boasted Buyers Including Eight Museums (and Roxane Gay) FRAMING BLACK SISTERHOOD: AN INTERVIEW WITH GIO SWABY BY Claire Oliver Gallery (Harlem, NY) presents debut exhibition by artist Gio Swaby Both sides of the Sun on view April 10 – June 5, 2021 GIO SWABY: BOTH SIDES OF THE SUN Gio Swaby: Both Sides of the Sun. My work revolves around an exploration of identity, more specifically, the intersections of Blackness and womanhood. I am interested in the ways in which this physical identity can serve as a positive force of connection and closeness, while also examining its imposed relationship to otherness.

BERNARDI ROIG

Bernardi Roig. The Artist makes use of media as it suits him, and his sculptures, installations, videos, and drawings use the human figure as the conceptual center. However, regardless of the medium chosen, Roig’s creations revolve around the concepts of body confinement and

stifled vision.

JUDITH SCHAECHTER

In Judith Schaechter's new body of work, the artist explores transcendent joy. Is there the possibility of a moment of true synchronicity with one's surroundings and nature? Judith Schaechter has been represented by Claire Oliver Gallery since 2001.

LAUREN FENSTERSTOCK

Lauren Fensterstock proves every planned landscape reveals the particular philosophy of its maker. Her works draw inspiration from Man's varied and often contradictory historical relationship with the natural world. Lauren Fensterstock has been represented by Claire Oliver Gallery since 2016.

DISCOVER THE WOLRD OF BISA BUTLER “Bisa Butler uses quilting to set the record straight. Through portraiture of groups or individual figures, she creates art that shows the Black community in a positive light, projecting how Black people want to be seen in the face of a constant media barrage of

negative images.”

– Kendra Walker for CULTURED LOVE LETTERS FOR HARLEM Love Letters for Harlem an exhibition of photographs by John Pinderhughes, Ruben Natal SanMiguel, Jeffrey Henson Scales and Shawn Walker.  Love Letters for Harlem showcases the talents of these four Harlem-based photographers and their work that celebrates the lives and culture of Harlem. BARBARA EARL THOMAS: THE GEOGRAPHY OF INNOCENTS @ SEATTLE ART MUSEUM Barbara Earl Thomas draws from history, literature, folklore, and biblical stories to address what she calls the plagues of our day, from pervasive violence against Black men and youth to gun violence to

the climate crisis.

GABI TRINKAUS NEW SERIES OF WORKS explore the amazingly detailed collage works of Gabi Trinkaus. Tapestries of our time constructed of newspaper ads and flyers

LEONARDO BENZANT

I imagine myself as an Urban Shaman exploring both my familiar visible world and the hidden dimensions of other realms that lurk beneath the surface of daily life. The sense of personal cosmology in my practice grows from both experiencing and observing the details of everyday

life and ritual.
