Four Artists Dismantle the Boundaries of “Immigrant”

The collective exhibition featuring Raul de Lara, Shanique Emelife, Sihan Guo, and Tahnee Lonsdale at Alexander Berggruen challenges conventional norms and boundaries through their diverse artistic expressions. Each artist brings a unique perspective shaped by their global experiences, addressing themes of migration, spirituality, and interconnectedness.

Raul de Lara’s intricate wooden sculptures, such as “Familia,” “CDMX/ Mexico City,” and “Pending Flowers,” reflect his personal journey of transplantation and adaptation. The cracked wood symbolizes both his immigration status and the constraints he faces, mirroring the resilience and fragility of human existence.

Shanique Emelife delves into her Nigerian heritage, depicting ethereal scenes that blend reality with folklore. Her paintings, like “Ifee’s Fear” and “The Door,” explore themes of memory and foreboding, inviting viewers to contemplate the intersection of past and present.

Tahnee Lonsdale’s paintings of feminine figures exude a sense of guardianship and otherworldliness, with layers of paint creating a spectral presence. Through subtle details like eyes, hands, and feet, Lonsdale evokes themes of gender, identity, and the cyclical nature of womanhood.

Sihan Guo’s phantasmagorical paintings blur the lines between the natural and the intangible, drawing inspiration from ecological systems and spiritual phenomena. Her bold use of color and texture creates a dynamic tension that speaks to the interconnectedness of all living beings.

Together, these artists challenge established notions of identity, spirituality, and cultural boundaries, offering a fresh perspective on the complexities of human existence. The exhibition at Alexander Berggruen is a testament to the enduring strength, beauty, and resilience found in the diverse narratives of immigrant experiences.
