Josephine Halvorson (b. 1981, Brewster, MA) makes art from observation in relation to a particular object and place. Transcribing her perceptions in real time, she connects with the world around her through the medium of paint.

Halvorson is one of four artists included in the 2019 James and Audrey Foster Prize exhibition at the Institute of Contemporary Art/Boston. The exhibition features new large-scale paintings made in places with which she is deeply connected: her Berkshires home and studio and an old mining site in Death Valley, Utah. Halvorson is Professor of Art and Chair of Graduate Studies in Painting at Boston University.

Josephine Halvorson: On the Ground is on view at Sikkema Jenkins & Co. January 23 through February 29, 2020. This solo exhibition features recent work produced during Halvorson’s time in the Berkshire mountains, the Mojave Desert, and Matanzas, Cuba.
