Amoako Boafo
Roberts Projects is pleased to present a tightly-curated selection of works that interpret and subvert the meaning of 'oasis' from a diverse range of perspectives. Works by contemporary artists including Amoako Boafo, Daniel Crews-Chubb, Suchitra Mattai, Collins Obijiaku, Ed Templeton, and Brenna Youngblood conjure sensations of relief that nurture the human spirit while contemplating the hardships from which we seek refuge.
A major highlight of our booth is Betye Saar's neon work Oasis, which debuted at MOCA Los Angeles in 1984. This year marks the 40th anniversary of Saar's transcendent solo exhibition, which featured room-sized installations that shared profound insight into ritual, spirituality, and African American identity.
Another highlight is Suchitra Mattai's between oceans (2024), a new mixed-media sculpture that was created especially for the fair.
