Petzel is pleased to present Affirmed/Actions, an exhibition of new abstract paintings by Memphis-born, New York-based artist James Little. The show marks Little’s second solo exhibition at the gallery and will be on view from November 7 to December 21, 2024, at Petzel’s Chelsea location at 520 W 25th Street. Little will unveil a new group of encaustic black paintings and white oil paintings, the latter featuring many apertures with swirling colors, both series that were featured in the 2022 Whitney Biennial. Little will also debut a new series of white encaustic paintings, imbued with his distinct treatment of line, light, and movement.
