Elsa Sahal: Pulp and Polish

Nathalie Karg Gallery New York · Lower East Side / East Village
Exhibition on view: May 8, 2026 - Jun 28, 2026

Elsa Sahal: Pulp and Polish presents a new series of small-scale ceramics in dialogue with the legacy of Ken Price. Known for large-scale visceral explorations of the female body, Sahal distills her characteristic suggestion of flesh, fold, and organ through Price's iconic mound and blob geometries — retaining his rejection of the vessel in favor of pure sculpture while allowing thumbprints and raw clay to peek through vibrant multi-layered glazes. Where Price sought otherworldly surface, Sahal introduces tactile humanity, turning his microscopic landscape toward the body and infusing it with a contemporary feminist energy.
