Apr 4 – Apr 4
About the show
Market Gallery presents Match Made in Heaven, the final installment of Marcus Jahmal's Chinatown NYC takeover. This exhibition brings together conceptual assemblage works and new paintings that explore religious themes with both reverence and defiance. Henri Matisse once said, "All art worthy of the name is religious." Jahmal's latest works embody this idea, blending spirituality with raw, contemporary narratives.
The show features three new paintings alongside charcoal drawings from 2019—eerily prescient works created just before the pandemic. Together, they trace a journey from uncertainty to transformation. A Match Made in Heaven is a meditation on faith, prophecy, and the resilience of the human spirit.
About Market Gallery
Market Gallery is a contemporary art space located in the heart of Chinatown, New York. Since 2015, Adam Zhu’s Chinatown apartment has fostered a creative community in downtown Manhattan - a shed on the roof area used for various purposes from art studio to jazz rehearsal space. In the summer of 2024, Adam worked with artist and contractor Andrew Kass to renovate the shed into a gallery space.
