About this Event
Joanne Agabs and Phoebe Jamieson are pleased to announce their duo exhibition Through Her Eyes. The exhibition will present paintings and ceramics from the artists’ current bodies of work. Through Her Eyes is on view May 10th and 11th, 2024, with an opening reception on May 9th from 6:00 – 9:00 PM, at 55 Bond Street, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10012.
Through Her Eyes highlights Jamieson’s and Agabs’ distinct approaches to forming narratives. Jamieson’s washy abstract paintings and whimsical handbuilt ceramics are subtly influenced by natural landscapes, the colors and shapes informing her expressionistic style. Agabs’ meticulously rendered watercolors organize the chaos of New York City’s streets into careful lines and shadows. Agabs’ illustrative approach to recording spaces is literal, contrasting Jamieson’s interpretive abstractions. Through the presentation of Jamieson’s and Agabs’ respective artistic perspectives, Through Her Eyes prompts the viewer to reconsider their relationship to the spaces they inhabit.

About Phoebe Jamieson
Phoebe Jamieson is a multidisciplinary Australian artist working in both painting and ceramic mediums, examining moments of connectedness through shape, form and materiality. Her abstract paintings underscore the unpredictability of paint on raw canvas and brushstrokes. In her ceramic sculptures, curves, and negative and positive spaces often allude to the rolling hills and farmlands of her home in rural Victoria, exploring relationships to nature, memory, and community.
Throughout her work, Jamieson juxtaposes vibrant and muted hues to reflect the inherent emotions of color as well as the playfulness of both nature and the human spirit. At the core of her artistic practice, her work examines the active imagination in order to bridge the conscious and unconscious, creating empathetic pathways to understand our shared connections through paintings and sculptures that become vessels of storytelling and humanity.
Jamieson has exhibited in New York and London, and her work is in private collections in Australia, Europe, and the United States. She lives and works in New York, NY.
