Joan Semmel: Continuities presents recent paintings in which Semmel, in her nineties, continues to paint her own body as an authored image — internalized rather than observed. Saturated hues move across flesh in broad passages; figures emerge and dissolve; layering allows multiple versions of the body to coexist on the same surface. Presented simultaneously in New York and Brussels, the exhibition's dual structure mirrors the paintings' own logic of doubling and multiplicity, extending presence across two cities while affirming the transatlantic bonds of feminist thought and cultural exchange.
