The World is Yours is the title of American artist Bisa Butler's first solo exhibition at Jeffrey Deitch. At Jeffrey Deitch's 18 Wooster Street space in New York, Bisa Butler presents portraits of Black Americans for which she uses layered fabrics and appliqués to create textured surfaces, saturated colors and vibrant patterns. In her new works, Butler combines Nigerian hand-dyed batiks and African wax-resist cotton with holographic vinyl-fabric, silk, wool, velvet and lace. Her subjects are sourced from iconic contemporary photographers like Gordon Parks, Janette Beckman and Jamel Shabazz. Bisa Butler's solo exhibition at Jeffrey Deitch New York runs until June 30, 2023.
