Gemini G.E.L. at Joni Moisant Weyl is pleased to present an exhibition of new prints by Toba Khedoori, on view April 29, 2025 through June 28, 2025. This show features Khedoori’s latest collaboration with the Los Angeles-based Gemini G.E.L. workshop, where she has continued to expand her printmaking practice. The exhibition will feature her newest works alongside a selection of previous prints created at Gemini, showcasing her meticulous engagement with drawing and print techniques.

Toba Khedoori is renowned for her precise and contemplative approach to image-making, often isolating objects or structures within vast, unoccupied backgrounds. Her works focus on singular subjects—branches, grass, architectural forms—rendered with a technical precision that underscores their physicality while also pushing toward abstraction.

Among the works on view is Untitled (larges branches), 2025, a striking lithograph that captures the complex intertwining of boughs, limbs, and twigs with painstaking detail. The lithograph is comprised of three sheets of beautiful handmade Japanese paper, and Khedoori’s drawings on three stones and six aluminum plates were carefully mapped out to meet up and match, both in tonal qualities and registration. The accuracy of matching multiple stones and plates all the while using a 60-pound roller to apply ink to Toba’s delicately drawn imagery on the matrices is a highwater moment in Gemini’s long lithographic history.

Also featured in the exhibition are four newly published mezzotints. The labor-intensive technique of mezzotint, which begins with a fully-darkened plate that is selectively burnished to reveal the image, allows for an extraordinary depth of tone and subtle luminosity. To pull an impression of Untitled, 2025, three printers ink and wipe the plate, rotating around it to achieve a uniform ink layer. Deep, deep blacks are achieved all the while revealing the delicate marks Khedoori made on the copper plate.

On view will also be two past editions by Khedoori, the exquisite lithograph Untitled (branches) from 2020, and Untitled (grass), 2022, printed from a single copper plate and perhaps the largest chine collé Master Printer Case Hudson and his etching team has ever attempted.
