kaufmann repetto presents Underwater, a series of 13 new paintings by Sadie Benning, originally conceived as drawings in 2018. Exploring climate change and the far right’s denial of both environmental crises and trans existence, the works depict figures navigating rising water levels. Hand-shaped surfaces and embedded vintage adornments emphasize personal history and resilience. In a separate room, three ghostlike pieces acknowledge memory, loss, and the enduring presence of those who came before.
