Angels, Hand Dances and Prayers
Tosh Basco
Apr23–May302021
Company Gallery is pleased to announce the first solo show by Tosh Basco in New York City, titled Angels, Hand Dances and Prayers. The exhibition is comprised of new works-on-paper which provide a glimpse into the prolific body of work accompanying Basco’s remarkable oeuvre of performance over the past decade. The drawings are grouped into the categories the title of the show suggests. A pair of ‘Angels’ hold the space of the gallery, providing a sense of grounding and other-worldly presence. Imprinted in a bruised blue, these ‘Angels’ hover above two plinths which double as symbolic stages for their suspended flights. ‘Hand Dances’ flank the room in shimmering copper and red silica gestures. And finally a series of black and white graphite ‘Prayers’ form a faceless but fervent congregation.
