Jesse Mockrin: Echo
Inspired by Baroque paintings, sculptures, and drawings at the AGO, in her first solo museum exhibition, American artist Jesse Mockrin radically re-envisions familiar historical subjects—Bathsheba, Solomon, and Daphne among them—through her own contemporary, feminist lens. Urgent and subversive, Mockrin’s closely cropped compositions reveal the unsettling and uncanny dramas buried in the art historical canon. Curated by Adam Harris Levine, the AGO’s Associate Curator of European Art, this exhibition will feature more than 12 new large-scale paintings and works on paper, installed alongside paintings, drawings, and sculptures from the AGO’s European Collection.
Exhibition is organized by the Art Gallery of Ontario.
The AGO wishes to recognize the support of James Cohan Gallery, New York.
