Maximillian William is pleased to announce its debut presentation at Art Genève with a solo booth of new paintings by Reginald Sylvester II. The presentation comprises a suite of nine works from the artist’s ongoing Offering series.

Started in 2022, the series marked a shift in Sylvester’s practice, reorienting his abstraction toward materially restrained, contemplative compositions conceived as acts of offering. Central to this body of work is Sylvester’s use of industrial rubber, a material bound to histories of colonial extraction. Through processes of cutting, stretching and accumulation, rubber is reconfigured into near-monochromatic surfaces that hold a dense materiality and offer a powerful emotional register. Moving away from traditional canvas, the Offering series foregrounds charged materials and bodily processes, informed by passages in the Bible, Abstract Expressionism and Art Povera. This presentation follows his recent solo institutional exhibition at Limbo Museum in Accra, Ghana.
