Sasha Gordon, a painter known for works that envision herself in surreal scenarios, has joined David Zwirner, one of the world’s biggest galleries. At age 26, she is the youngest artist currently on the roster—and among the youngest represented by any gallery of David Zwirner’s stature.
Her David Zwirner deal will see her maintain representation with Matthew Brown, the trendy Los Angeles– and New York–based gallery her first-ever solo show, in 2021.
Gordon’s paintings draw on her own experiences as a biracial Asian woman. In 2021, she told Art in America that she felt as though she had to be a “certain type of Asian woman, a certain type of queer person, a certain type of body size,” and that her work reflects some of the anxieties associated with all that.
