Raphaele Shirley
“Light Storm” – solo exhibit at Andrew Logan Projects
June 27- August 2, 2026
“Light Storm” presents themes of concrete and ephemeral existence through the play of particle ( sculpture) and wave ( light). Evoking powerful weather patterns (external and internal) that engulf humans, Shirley proposes stillness and repose against the monumental aspirations and forces of the world. Exposing fragility, order, and elegance, she imbues the gallery with potentials, spilling beyond the walls into the streets and towards future manifestations of her vision, large scale and overseas.
Raphaele Shirley is a French-American multimedia artist based in New York. After studying at the École des Beaux-Arts in Aix-en-Provence, France, she moved to New York in 1993. Her interdisciplinary practice encompasses painting, video, sculpture, light and sound installations, public art, performance, and social interventions. Drawing on science, ecology, and cosmology, her work investigates the intersection of theories of everything, religious belief, and contemporary scientific inquiry into quantum physics, consciousness, and the unconscious.
Her work has been presented internationally in solo and group exhibitions at the KAI Art Center (Estonia), the Queens Museum, the Museum of the Moving Image, Hunter College, the Chelsea Art Museum, and Catskill Art Space (USA), as well as the HayArt Centre (Armenia) and the Hermitage Museum (Russia).
A founding member of large-scale initiatives including the New York International Fringe Festival and Perpetual Art Machine, Shirley has received grants from the Norwegian Arts Council, Cyfest, and Wave Farm. She has also participated in two consecutive Arctic Circle expeditions and has collaborated with composers and artists including Rhys Chatham, Algis Kizys, Laura Ortman, David Watson, Shirish Korde, and GH Hovagimyan.
