NEW YORK, NY.- Kasmin announced the representation of Sara Anstis (b. 1991 Stockholm, lives and works in London), who uses sensuous soft pastels and oil paint to build worlds that set the stage for explorations of subjectivity, mythology, and ecology. Utilizing the visual language of folklore and dream, Anstis’s paintings and site-specific installations weave together surreal landscapes, deftly lit figures, anthropomorphic flora, and symbolic objects that vibrate both materially and narratively. Her first solo exhibition at Kasmin, titled Procession, is currently on view at 297 Tenth Avenue through October 29, 2022. The artist will also be represented by Various Small Fires (Los Angeles, Dallas, & Seoul).

"Sara Anstis's extraordinary paintings are the products of a unique vision, balancing a timeless quality with an ability to probe the undercurrents of human nature and contemporary society. We are thrilled to welcome her to Kasmin during the run of her hugely successful first exhibition at the gallery."—Nick Olney, Managing Director.
