Artist(s)

Hayv Kahraman

Jack Shainman Gallery is honored to present Ghost Fires, an exhibition of new work by Hayv Kahraman, the artist's fifth solo presentation with the gallery. Informed by Kahraman's longstanding exploration of displacement, this new body of work is also a response to the recent wildfires in Los Angeles and their direct effect on Kahraman and her family.
