Dora Jeridi
Dora Jeridi’s work is characterized by a dynamic, expressive painting style that fuses intense emotion with powerful physicality. Her practice often explores the tension between figuration and chaos, employing vivid color contrasts, bold brushstrokes, and diverse media like oil, charcoal, ballpoint pen, and spray paint. Jeridi’s paintings evoke a visceral, enigmatic narrative where autobiographical elements blend with broader societal crises, creating a distinct “atmosphere of crisis.”
Dora Jeridi has exhibited work at Musée d’Orsay, Paris; Perrotin Gallery, Paris; and Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York, among others.

Brenda Mallory
Texture and rhythmic repetition are central to Brenda Mallory’s abstract compositions and installations. By ‘sewing’ together soft fabric forms—primarily reclaimed materials—with industrial hardware, she explores themes of dominion, disruption, repair, and the interconnections within long-established natural and human systems.
Brenda Mallory has exhibited work at Gorman Museum of Native Art, UC Davis, California; Heard Museum, Arizona; and Portland Art Museum, Portland, among others.

Currently based in NYC, Emsaki is an alum of the Whitney Museum’s Independent Study Program and holds an MFA from Yale University and a BA from UC Berkeley.
