Our collection of photos from our recent visit to Kara Walkerโs exhibitionย at Sikkema Jenkins & Co.
Our personal photos from Leonardo Drew's show at Sikkema Jenkins & Co.
Though Kara Walker seemed to be making political statements on the gallery walls, her artist statement and the show title were in my opinion the most politically charged. You can feel her resentment for being the poster child for black contemporary art and racial politics in art. The show itself seemed like a response to the art world hype; basically saying Kara Walker's work is dope, we hate the criticism but love the hype.
Leonardo Drew's Sculptural abstraction is epic and beautiful to look at. The artist doesn't hint at too much content but lets the audience decide what these black massive forms and compositions mean in the white cube of Sikkema Jenkins gallery.
