Artspace is thrilled to announce that we have partnered with UNTITLED, ART to launch the UNTITLED, ART Charitable Artist Edition, featuring an editioned work on paper by Genesis Tramaine entitled Black Woman University .
The digital archival print will debut at Artspace & Phaidon’s booth during the preview of UNTITLED, ART Online, powered by Artland, at 11am EDT on Thursday, July 30.
An edition of 50, the benefit print is priced at $1,000, with proceeds from the sale supporting programming, fellowships and grants at the New York Foundation for the Arts (NYFA).
Genesis Tramaine is an Urban Expressionist painter whose work explores the shape and identity of the Black American face. Her imagery captures the spirited emotions of the untapped, underrepresented soul of Black people through a mixture of collage, acrylic and oil-based paintings.
Tramaine's faces are layers of real moments and imagined metaphors. She explores ethics and insanity, the mundane and the inhumane, spirituality, sexuality and sentimentality. A native New Yorker, Tramaine graduated Summa Cum Laude with a Masters from Pace University and has been exhibiting her work since 2010. Most recently, she was the subject of a solo exhibition at Almine Rech, London.
