Rain Over the River

David Zwirner is pleased to present Rain over the river, an exhibition of new paintings by Indian artist Sosa Joseph at the gallery's East 69th Street location in New York. This is Joseph's first show in North America, and it follows Pennungal: Lives of women and girls, her 2024 solo presentation at David Zwirner London. A masterful colorist and storyteller, Joseph creates atmospheric paintings marked by a striking visual and psychological complexity, in which figures from her South Indian family and milieu mingle with open-ended motifs from the natural world. Oscillating between sobering reportage and intimate psychological reminiscence, her work offers an alternative approach to the artistic tradition of history painting—one in which everyday moments take on the heft of the extraordinary, and individual narratives coalesce into a richly tapestried collective history.
