BEHIND THE MASK EXHIBITION
Los Angeles, USA.
I am excited to announce that I will be showing some of my paintings on the group show “Behind the Mask”, at Angels Gate Cultural Center in Los Angeles, California.
Behind the Mask investigates the role of the mask in contemporary artistic explorations and understandings of race, gender, sexuality, mythology, histories, and futures. The centrality of the mask is paramount to the artists’ unique aesthetic lexicons and used as a tool, both for cultural remembrance and as an icon of contemporary identity politics.
Behind the Mask is guest curated by Sarah Umles, interdisciplinary artist and founder-director of The Residency Project. Artists exhibited include Jack Black, Skount Garcia, Ashley Johnson and Alicia Piller.
Transformation and evolution. Acrylic on linen canvas 80 x 100 cm
