Color And Form
November to December 2018
Exhibition Summary:
Color and Form explore how creative languages grounded in figurative and abstract works facilitate the exploration of black womanhood in American Society. From West African mystical traditions to sensual abstract works that connect viewers and subjects, these women interrogate issues of gender, race, and place in their creative practices.
Aimee Everett
Originally from New Orleans, Louisiana, Aimee is a visual artist whose work employs abstraction and figurative work to explore communication, gender, race, psychology, and social commentary.
Arielle Austin
An abstract artist based in Austin, Texas. She also leads abstract painting workshops.
Kemi Yemi-Ese
A visual artist and rehabilitation counselor. After suffering a spinal cord injury, in a car accident in 2006, she has grown as an artist, sharing her story across Texas and teaching that art can have therapeutic uses.
“This is a smart showing of three women artists. Everett examines the intergenerational silences around gender, race, and place. Yemi-Ese surreal images are rooted in West African mystical traditions. Austin celebrates color and abstraction.”
