Jonathan Lyndon Chase Work generously donated by the artist and Company Gallery For their 2023 exhibition at Artists Space in New York, Jonathan Lyndon Chase took on the barbershop—re- claiming the setting and the service it provides as a Black, queer space. As often in their work, Chase created an entire environment, populated with bold, gurative paintings of people being coied (some canvases embed- ded with actual hair products) and soft sculptures, reminiscent of those of Claes Oldenburg, including a giant brush, clippers and a tub of pomade. Awarded a fellowship in 2022 by the Joan Mitchell Foundation, Chase explains in an interview on the founda- tion’s website: “My work is primarily about everyday experiences: what it’s like being a city person, a Black person, a queer person, and also being non- binary. The body and space relationships between the private and the public are really important to me. […] But I’m really interested in beauty, the body at rest, showing love and tenderness in my work, and also eroticism.” A Baptist upbringing has informed Chase’s work, which has since absorbed inuences from music, lm and visual art, including the work of Romare Bearden, Kerry James Marshall and Henry Taylor. Inspiration comes, too, from the city, poetry, dreams and photography, and, in 2020, they published their rst book, wild wild Wild West / Haunt- ing of the Seahorse , which experiments with the genres of science ction and horror. Chase lives and works in their home- town of Philadelphia. Their work is held in numerous important collections, including the Institute of Contemporary Arts, Miami; Los Angeles County Museum of Art; Philadelphia Museum of Art; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York.
