Kohn Gallery is delighted to announce Ilana Savdie's upcoming solo exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art. The exhibition opens July 2023 and will be on view until October 2023.

Over the course of her 15-year career, Ilana Savdie has carved out a niche of her own in the contemporary art world with her vibrant, surrealist elaborations on the human form. Her paintings—reminiscent of both the hopeful abstractions of Helen Frankenthaler and the visceral, warped bodies of Francis Bacon—explore the tensions between control and defiance, identity and ambiguity.

Ilana Savdie is back and presents her solo exhibition, in the Los Angeles Kohn Gallery: Entrañadas. The artist explores the few and many things that constellate one’s sense of self.

Ilana Savdie: Entrañadas at Kohn Gallery. With hot-colored, electrifying paintings, Savdie’s large-scale works actualize tension as a state of being. Humanoid forms are suspended beyond normative order to narrate the displacement of power through invasion, control, and defiance.
