Coaxed Drops
2026
Coaxed Drops is a compact yet commanding work in oil stick on linen, completed in 2026 and representative of Hayal Pozanti's sustained investigation into color, form, and the coded visual languages she has developed over more than a decade. Working within a format that rewards close looking, Pozanti builds surfaces of concentrated chromatic intensity, her oil stick application lending the linen a tactile warmth that separates her practice from the cooler registers of digital abstraction. The intimacy of the scale here is deceptive. At roughly 50 by 40 centimeters, the painting carries the same internal logic and formal conviction as her larger canvases, making it an exceptionally accessible entry point into a body of work that has attracted serious critical attention and institutional support in equal measure. Pozanti is represented by Jessica Silverman in San Francisco and Timothy Taylor, placing her among a select group of painters working at the intersection of abstraction, systems thinking, and personal iconography. Coaxed Drops was curated for inclusion in the BOMB Magazine Benefit Auction by Peter Halley, the influential painter and theorist whose own practice shares a commitment to geometry and cultural critique. Halley's selection underscores both the work's formal rigor and its resonance within a broader conversation about painting's evolving possibilities. The work is signed by the artist and offered unframed, allowing the collector to present it within a context of their own choosing. It ships from New York.
