Josephine Halvorson's intimate oil paintings exhibited at Sikkema Jenkins & Co in 2008

Josephine Halvorson presented a series of small-scale oil paintings at Sikkema Jenkins & Co gallery in New York City. The exhibition ran until January 10, 2009 at the gallery's location on 530 West 22nd Street between 10th and 11th avenues. Halvorson's work focuses on everyday objects and details from the physical world, creating tension between actual subjects and their painted representations. Specific paintings included "Memento Mori," which features cropped tombstone text, and "Crumbs," depicting painted remnants of a meal. The artist's approach differs from nostalgic interpretations by engaging directly with present reality. Artcritical featured this exhibition as a PIC selection in November 2008. The gallery's contact number was 212 929 2262.
