New York-based artist Dana James presents her third solo show with Hollis Taggart, titled “Ink Moon,” at the gallery’s Lower East Side location. The exhibition marks a significant shift in her practice, moving from her signature soft pastels and feminine sensibility toward bolder, more gestural works featuring near-black hues, intense primary colors, and expressive mark-making. James created the new body of work while navigating an advancing pregnancy, which she says pushed her work in a more intense direction rather than the expected softer style.
