CRITIC’S PICK: Light Work: Curtis Patterson & Hasani Sahlehe, African Diaspora Museum of Art - Abstract sculptor Curtis Patterson, a former SCAD professor, seamlessly merges elements of antiquity and modernity, often influenced by improvisational jazz and the natural environment, according to the museum. The work of Hasani Sahlehe, a painter from St. Thomas in the US Virgin Islands, is characterized by vibrant color fields and intricate patterns. “I’m attracted to color relationships that suggest visible light, but also light in terms of weight,” Sahlehe told Interview magazine in 2024. “There’s an intuitive part where I try to approach it how I imagine a musician would.” Both artists will be at the museum on Sunday, March 2 to talk with visitors about their art. - Kevin C.
