On view at its West 20th Street location, Jack Shainman’s presentation of Odili Donald Odita offers musings on the relationship between figuration and abstraction through a series of colorful works featuring the repetition of geometric shapes and forms. Ultimately a commentary on self-reflection, “Mirror” follows the concept that the only face you will never really see is your own, therefore, a self-portrait must be abstract. Highlighting that this is a time where Donald Trump resides in the White House, Odita asks his viewers to face the challenging task of examining the thoughts and actions that have brought us to this moment.
