Post-American Fine Arts
Post-American Fine Arts is a gallery operating between Los Angeles and Sydney, with a permanent exhibition space in Sydney's Chinatown and annual programs in LA, Basel and Shanghai (2027). We work with artists whose practices are built on years of material inquiry and technical command. The work speaks first.

THE GREAT HARVEST.
Three artists from the United States. Oscar Tuazon. Jason Meadows. Eric Wesley. We brought their work to Daxin, in the Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. The Black Zhuang are part of China's ethnic minority - with their own language and traditions rooted in these mountains for thousands of years. By August eighteenth, the work is on walls. All of it asks: what is this actually worth?
Oscar Tuazon works with paint and water. He introduces pigment to water's surface and transfers the result onto paper. What emerges cannot be predicted. A green piece. Silver. An eclipse rendered in spray paint. Two glass orbs follow. A sun. A water world. What appears is neither the artist's intention nor water's accident. It's the threshold between them.
Jason Meadows designed a typeface and fractured it across three hanging scrolls. Red, orange, green, blue pixelated blocks stacked into letters. The composition demands you stop. Decode. Trace the letterforms with your eye. In an age of infinite scroll, he constructed the opposite.
Eric Wesley designed currency. Timbuctoo bills stacked on a traditional Zhuang cloth pedestal, spilling onto the floor. Above them: Five Note Proof. A five dollar bill he painted with a wild boar. What makes money real? Where does value live?
All three keep their questions open.
The Black Zhuang people have answered theirs for thousand of years. They celebrate the Harvest Festival, marking the end of harvest season with rituals, offerings of rice, pork and fruits, expressing gratitude for the year's yield and fostering community bonding. Value isn't abstract. It's rooted in seasons, labor, ancestors, what your family needs to survive.
Two practices meeting in the mountains. Both asking what sustains us.
We thank the Black Zhuang people of Daxin for welcoming us into their land.
