Southampton Fairgrounds

Artist: Indira Cesarine
Presented by: MAZLISH Gallery
Booth 402
Indira Cesarine will present a selection of welded steel sculptures with MAZLISH Gallery at the 20th Anniversary edition of the Hamptons Fine Art Fair, on view July 9–12, 2026, at Booth 402.
The presentation features Cesarine’s hand-welded figurative steel sculptures alongside paintings by artist Imani Bilál, bringing together two distinct artistic practices connected through themes of transformation, identity, resilience, and emotional expression. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, the Hamptons Fine Art Fair has become one of the East Coast’s premier summer art events, bringing together more than 130 galleries and exhibitors from 10 countries across a 70,000-square-foot campus with museum-quality historical works, contemporary art, large-scale sculpture, and curated exhibitions.
Sculptural Works on View
The welded steel sculptures presented at the Hamptons Fine Art Fair explore mythology, femininity, transformation, and the emotional symbolism embedded within the natural world. Working with plasma-cut and hand-welded steel, Cesarine creates expressive figurative forms that balance strength with vulnerability, using the permanence of metal to embody themes of resilience, healing, memory, and renewal.
Among the works on view are figurative sculptures including Antigone and La Reine, inspired by mythology, tragic heroines, and archetypal feminine figures. Their fractured yet expressive forms reflect the complexity of feminine identity while speaking to endurance, empowerment, and personal transformation. Throughout the sculptures, hands emerge as recurring symbols of creation, protection, healing, and human connection. In Mother Earth, steel hands cradle an abstracted flower delicately welded from sheet steel, surrounded by stems and leaves created from steel nails, evoking the nurturing and regenerative forces of nature while reflecting humanity’s enduring relationship with the natural world.
Floral imagery is another defining element of Cesarine’s sculptural language, particularly within the Les Fleurs du Mal series. Drawing upon the rich symbolic history of flowers in art and literature, these steel bouquets become vessels for love, grief, forgiveness, hope, remembrance, and rebirth. Rather than functioning as decorative forms, the flowers serve as metaphors for femininity, emotional resilience, desire, pain, and transformation, reflecting the dualities that exist throughout the human experience.
Working across sculpture, photography, painting, installation, and public art, Cesarine’s multidisciplinary practice consistently examines the intersection of beauty and strength, vulnerability and power. Her sculptural works translate these enduring themes into physical form, inviting viewers to reflect on mythology, memory, identity, and the emotional landscapes that shape our shared humanity.
