Summary
- Perrotin has announced its representation of acclaimed American artist Nina Chanel Abney and will host a new solo exhibition with the artist at its Paris outpost this fall.
Nina Chanel Abney has recently joined Galerie Perrotin as a new represented artist. In addition, the gallery has unveiled that it will host its first exhibition featuring her work at their Paris location in September.
In 2025, Abney displayed her solo exhibitions at Jeffrey Deitch in Los Angeles and Gallery Anthony in Chicago. These exhibits broadened her investigation into faith and American mythology – from the Warhol-inspired themes in “FLAGGED” to the complex spiritual-secular dynamics portrayed in “Winging It”.

I blend figuration and abstraction, creating paintings that delve into themes like race, gender, fame, faith, and politics. The result? A rich tapestry of work that echoes the complexity and overlapping realities of our times.
