James Cohan presents The Book of Violette, Kelly Sinnapah Mary’s first solo exhibition with the gallery. Her work weaves folklore, history, and personal memory into paintings, sculptures, and installations that challenge imperialist narratives and explore diasporic identity. Inspired by Caribbean intellectuals, she merges landscape with surrealism, creating shifting figures that reflect ancestral ties. The exhibition’s central figure, Violette, embodies transformation, inheritance, and interconnectedness.
