Lauren Brevner & James Harry

Artists Lauren Brevner and James Nexw’Kalus-Xwalacktun Harry have been collaborators since 2014. Brevner’s practice is deeply inspired by her Japanese and Trinidadian heritage as well as matriarchal influences, while Harry’s practice combines traditional Sḵwx̱wú7mesh histories, forms and designs. They create meditative compositions that invite cross-cultural dialogue and embrace multiple expressions of personal, political, social, and spiritual practices. Their work ranges from large-scale public artworks to intimate portraits, incorporates a wide breadth of materials and engages in bridging community through generous relationality.

Brevner and Harry have exhibited their work independently and collaboratively around the world, including the Vancouver Art Gallery, Vancouver, BC; SCOPE Art Fair, New York, NY; SCOPE Miami Beach, Miami, FL; Thinkspace Projects, Culver City, CA; Haven Gallery, Long Island, NY; Hashimoto Contemporary, San Francisco, CA; Illustrative Festival, Berlin, Germany; Mesa Contemporary Arts Museum, Mesa, AZ; Fort Wayne Museum of Art, Fort Wayne, IN; and extensive public and private commissions internationally.
