CL RECOMMENDS

CRITIC’S PICK: Collage artist Marryam Moma gets a show of her own through the auspices of Graphite House, a local firm dedicated to promoting the work of contemporary Black artists. Subtitled Transcending The Norms, her exhibition is described in press materials as “a pastiche of creativity, challenging the status quo and stimulating conversations around identity, race, and gender.” Creative Director Rodney LoveJones says, “Working in tandem with Marryam Moma, we are challenging the icon narrative, dually presenting artworks that not only appeal aesthetically but also incite poignant discussions around contemporary issues and hidden beauties of our era. We are confident that collectors and visitors will depart Marryam’s exhibition with a renewed understanding and relevance of analogue collage.” - Kevin C. Madigan
