About the event
Jack Shainman Gallery presents Claudette Schreuders: Genesis, on view from June 6 to August 2, 2025, at 513 West 20th Street, New York, NY. This striking exhibition debuts a new series of intimate hand-carved wooden sculptures by the South African artist, who is known for her deeply personal narrative style rooted in African and European sculptural traditions.
Genesis examines themes of motherhood, family lineage, loss, and rebirth through figures rendered with haunting grace and psychological depth. Drawing from her own life, Schreuders blends autobiographical fragments with collective memory—crafting characters that feel at once familiar and symbolic.
Exhibition highlights:
A brand-new body of work exploring transformation and feminine interiority
Richly painted wood sculptures influenced by folk art and devotional objects
Visual storytelling that merges personal history with universal experience
