For her solo presentation in Perrotin’s booth at Frieze London, American artist Danielle Orchard debuts four new paintings centered on depictions of motherhood. These paintings extend her ongoing exploration of the female nude—not as an object of observation, but as an active subject of narrative, memory, and interiority. With a refined yet expressive approach to color and form, Orchard constructs spaces where psychological depth and painterly invention intertwine, offering nuanced portraits of intimacy, exhaustion, quiet resilience, and transformation.

Danielle Orchard is known for her luminous, stylized paintings of female figures that draw on the visual language of analytic Cubism and modernist art. Working from her studio in Massachusetts, Orchard explores the complexities of the female experience through fragmented forms, intimate gestures, and richly layered compositions. Her paintings challenge traditional portrayals of women in art history, offering a perspective shaped by her own life as both a woman and a mother.

Japanese artist Susumu Kamijo lives and works in New York. He is presenting a series of three paintings. Drawing inspiration from Francis Bacon and Willem de Kooning, among others, his poodles have attracted significant attention ever since they first appeared in 2014. By mingling drawing and painting techniques, the artist has been able to create an assemblage of symbols and signs, often in ethereal and menacing strokes of color. In a playful meditative style, his work continues to evolve in a direction that surprises, provokes, and transforms our ways of seeing.
