C41: UNTITLED ART FAIR
LatchKey Gallery is excited to present new works by artists Brianna Bass, Katinka Huang, and Marika St Rose Yeo at this year’s UNTITLED Art Fair, Booth C41.
The works by these three artists explore themes of cultural, personal, and existential fragmentation. Together, they reflect on how different aspects of identity and experience—often disjointed —can also come together to form a deeper, unified understanding. Through their diverse approaches, the pieces bridge the gap between what is difficult to express and what is visually tangible, offering a new way to engage with the complexities of the human experience.
BRIANNA BASS
Brianna Bass’s ( B. 1990) compositions are a visual dance for the eye, a dynamic interplay of gradient colors and numerical formulas, used in conjunction with the color wheel to create illusions of movement and expanding space. Her paintings explore the limits of color theory, utilizing colors as codifiable units within an image to forge a relationship between optical and linguistic realms.
Brianna Bass earned her MFA from Yale School of Art in 2022, and BFA in Painting and Drawing from the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga in 2013. She has exhibited work nationally and internationally at Jeffrey Deitch Gallery (NY), Latchkey Gallery (NY), The Green Family Foundation (TX), Noh-Art in Naples, Italy, and Tree Art Museum in Beijing, China. Private and public collections include, Morgan Stanley Art Collection and The Green Family Collection.
KATINKA HUANG
Katinka Huang (b. 1998, Shanghai, China) examines the tension between Western ideals of gender propriety and Eastern perspectives on femininity. Her abrupt move to England from China and subsequent experiences at an all-girls school prompted her to explore the complexities of identity and womanhood. Elements of the female form are deconstructed and juxtaposed to create subversive, satirical, and often absurd narratives around womanhood. These accounts are rooted in moments of dissociation, where Katinka departs from reality and enters a space of play.
On the canvas, Katinka liberates the female identity to embody crudeness, childlike innocence, fury, and profound sadness—their bodies undergo a metamorphosis by fragmenting, dissolving, or emerging anew. Katinka’s dissociative bouts are a temporary escape from the cultural ideologies of womanhood, enabling her to reimagine femininity in all its contradictions.
Katinka Huang received her BFA from Paris College of Art and her MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York. She has exhibited in solo and group shows internationally, including: Salon Beyond Lobotomy (Paris, 2019), General Expenses (Mexico City, 2022), Lux Feminae (Long Island City, 2022), Echo Box and After Eden (LatchKey Gallery, New York, 2023), Earthquake Relief Benefit Auction (Ethan Cohen Gallery, New York, 2023), Really From (NYC Culture Club, New York, 2023), Genesis (Chambers Fine Art, upstate New York, 2023), A Happy Beginning (Latitude Gallery, New York, 2023), Heart of a Tiger (benefit for Planned Parenthood, New York, 2023), Lo Que Tú Ves (Galeria Leyendecker, Tenerife, Spain, 2023), and Allegory of Redemption (Galeria Caylus, Madrid, Spain, 2024). She also participated in Spring Break Art Fair (New York, 2023),
MARIKA ST ROSE YEO
Marika St Rose Yeo (b. 1992, Regina, Saskatchewan, CA) is a ceramicist whose works and research are concerned with healing, justice and transformation through creative practice, and examining how these allow us to generate possibilities for alternative futures, outside the systems of harm we find ourselves in. Her carving patterns on the surface of her ceramic vessels, referencing floral and textile designs from the Caribbean, West Africa and Western Europe. The piecing together of such forms represent her multicultural heritage and the desire to understand the layers and pieces of her histories and cultures.
Marika St Rose Yeo has a BFA with a major in ceramics from the University of Regina and a PhD in Critical and Creative Social Justice Studies through the University of British Columbia. St Rose Yeo’s work has been displayed in galleries across Canada, including at the Vancouver Art Gallery (2021-2022) The Port Moody Art Gallery (2022) and at the Campbell River Art Gallery (2023).
