DANIELLE FRETWELL, ANNABELLE AGBO GODEAU AND PAUL ROBAS
NADA Miami | Booth B316
3 – 7 DECEMBER, 2024
Ice Palace Studios

Miami, FL 33136
We are delighted to announce our first participation in the upcoming edition of NADA Miami with a curated booth featuring new works by Danielle Fretwell (b. 1996), Annabelle Agbo Godeau (b. 1995), and Paul Robas (b. 1989). Through both classical and contemporary imagery and painterly lexicons, these artists address the power of representation and how it can perpetuate certain narratives and obscure others, suggesting that truth can be far removed from what we see at first glance.
Annabelle Agbo Godeau creates her compositions from fragments of digital and printed media, in particular drawing from movies and live entertainment, to investigate racialization, ambiguity, and the mostly female destinies that have been silenced in history. Paul Robas merges his personal photographic archive with
digitally generated and manipulated images to create unexpected and seemingly discordant narratives that challenge and question the human condition and push the boundaries of surface manipulation. Danielle Fretwell navigates the space between traditional mimetic painting and automatic processes, addressing how her interest in the exploration of deception within the medium mirrors her own experience of navigating a world steeped in uncertainty. Her half-obscured still- lifes become an exploration of the boundaries between intention and chance, truth and illusion.
This will be Paul Robas first presentation in the US, and Danielle Fretwell’s debut at a US art fair, whilst Annabelle Agbo Godeau returns to Miami after being included in a group presentation at the Bass Museum of Art in 2022.
