Greene Naftali is pleased to announce SOPHIE VON HELLERMANN's eighth solo exhibition at the gallery. After a Dream explores creative relationships through that most charged of dyads: the couple. This new body of work features pairs of figures drawn from literature, art history, the artist’s own acquaintance, and pure wishful thinking—Wordsworth and Coleridge are depicted in silhouette against a vast blue lake; von Hellermann herself strolls with J. M. W. Turner along the Margate beach. Rendered in her signature whorls of thinned paint on unprimed canvas, von Hellermann’s latest works broach various forms of alignment, mutual influence and synchronicity.
