Press Release

With this exhibition Stella Jones Gallery will highlight some of the important black artists of the 20th Century, featuring a rich cross section whose narratives and varying approaches have shaped what it means to be a black artist in contemporary America. 

With over 30 men and women artists of the African Diaspora, themes include the exploration of social conditions, segregation, disfranchisement, heroes and heroines, everyday life and more in varying mediums and formats. While there is no universal approach to the ongoing conversation of black culture and identity, many of these artists rely heavily on motifs and themes specific to African Americans.
