Woody De Othello Celebrates First Major Solo Public Exhibition in New York with Public Art Fund

Woody De Othello's first major solo public exhibition in New York, titled "Guardian Spirit," has opened at Brooklyn Bridge Park, presented by Public Art Fund. The exhibition features monumental redwood totems standing 20 to 22 feet tall, carved with chainsaws and grinders, alongside bronze sculptures created between 2021 and 2025. The works explore themes of ritual, spirituality, and the elemental forces of wind and water, drawing inspiration from nkisi, ritual objects from Western and Central Africa. The exhibition runs from May 5, 2026, to March 8, 2027, with sculptures installed at Pier 1 and the Manhattan Bridge View.

Paris Diary 1

The article is a first-person diary entry from an unnamed narrator visiting Paris and Brussels. The narrator recounts working in the studio of painter Camila Oliveira Fairclough, attending a public dialogue at Almine Rech gallery in Brussels with artist Erik Lindman, and viewing an exhibition pairing Lindman's paintings with works by Robert Motherwell and two Picassos chosen by Bernard Picasso. The narrator also visits a posthumous exhibition of Didier Demozay at Galerie Bernard Jordan and sees a temporary mural by Marielle Paul in a Paris housing complex, later visiting her studio in a historic 19th-century artist building once occupied by Eugène Carrière.
