Works 1956-2008
Galerie Nathalie Obadia, Paris, presents a solo exhibition of works by American artist Shirley Jaffe, spanning from 1956 to 2008. This exhibition features twelve paintings, offering a survey of over fifty years of Jaffe's artistic practice and her contributions to post-war abstraction. The show highlights her evolution, influenced by her move to Paris in 1949 and her engagement with a circle of abstract painters.
Jaffe's work is characterized by interlocking forms, a dynamic interplay of balance and tension, and a distinct visual language that developed through periods in West Berlin and later canvases. Her approach to color, line, and the use of white as an active field contributes to compositions that are both autonomous and engaging. The exhibition also notes the recent institutional recognition of Jaffe's oeuvre and the establishment of The Shirley Jaffe Foundation.
