Shuvinai Ashoona at the Outsider Art Fair Paris

September 9, 2022

Shuvinai Ashoona’s work is featured in a special presentation at the Paris edition of the Outsider Art Fair. The presentation, Ashoona’s first in France, features a suite of drawings produced between 2004 and 2018. The exhibition text states: “Ashoona’s pen-and-pencil drawings fuse past and present into a divinatory future. The humans depicted in her drawings are joined by mermaids, human-animal hybrids, and fantastical sea creatures. Surreal details—a mother’s nourishing breast transformed into the Earth, the mask-like faces of a hooded figure, the fluorescent orange tint of a giant octopus—signal spiritual, cosmological, or phantasmic forces in delicate coexistence with the everyday.” OAF Paris 2022 runs September 15-18.
