Broadway

About the Gallery
Broadway is a contemporary art gallery located in the Tribeca neighborhood of New York City founded by Pascal Spengemann and Joe Cole. Broadway is dedicated to presenting a dynamic program of emerging and mid-career artists working in painting, sculpture, film and video.

About the presentation
Broadway will present Jessie Henson’s thread and gold leaf works on paper following her recent debut with the gallery. The artist’s deeply personal practice refracts painterly abstraction through a prism of both craft and industrial manufacture. She works with an industrial sewing machine to “draw” with thread, building up accretions of vibrant color across the paper that speak to the complexity of interior worlds. The tension of the clustered threads warps the surface to create a sculptural, topographical effect that Henson enhances by metallic leafing.
