Altman Siegel is thrilled to present an exhibition of new work by Juxtapoz staff favorite, Didier William. This suite of paintings on panel builds upon the artist’s recent large-scale installation at Prospect New Orleans. Here, William explores the precarity of belonging, considering the groundlessness that sometimes marks the cultural identity of immigrant populations. What systems, codes, or traditions define cultural identity on foreign land? Fusing vibrant color with exuberant figuration, these tactile works merge ancestral narratives with autobiographical lore set against an impending climate catastrophe. Fiery horizons and bursts of energetic bolts bifurcate the stasis of the picture plane.
