Belleza Común (Beauté Commune) features six new paintings by Raelis Vasquez that examine the artist’s family memories as well as his own Afro-Latinx identity.

Sharing Stephen Towns' 'Towards The Finish Line,'

Sharing Stephen Towns' 'Towards The Finish Line,' 2020 to mark the final day of #ExpoChicago. Swipe to see two more works by Towns' on view in our booth. Today is your last chance to visit @expochicago on the @hook.art platform.

Ancestral music is at the heart of Stephen Towns’ quilt work, a collection of imagined historical narratives with imagery drawn directly from the poetry of African American spirituals. This powerful work represents a deeply personal and emotional evolution within Towns’ quilting practice, as he turned to both spiritual music and back to the process of quilting as acts of comfort during the uncertainty of COVID-19. Towns’ intricate stitch work is guided by songs of joy, hope, resilience, and protest and the creative process itself functioned, for the artist, as an act of remaining present in a time of chaos.

Today is the last day to visit our booth at #ExpoChicago featuring works by Tina Williams Brewer and Stephen Towns. Access @expochicago on the @hook.art platform linked in our bio.

Tina Williams Brewer's 'If You Don’t Hear the Tap, You Hear the Bang,' 1998 was created during a transitional period in Brewer’s oeuvre, where she began to move away from historical trauma as a subject and move towards autobiographical pieces that addressed current issues in her life. At the time of this piece, Brewer struggled with workplace sexism as she worked as the manager of a jazz club. Frustrated by the lack of respect she received as a female boss, 'If You Don’t Hear the Tap, You Hear the Bang' was created out of a desire to express her feelings and experiences as a woman. The quilt features two stylized images of Black female dancers that celebrate women in motion (top right). Swirling symbols cascade down the left side of the composition, inspired by an African proverb Brewer felt connected to, “the snail has no hands or feet but it climbs.” The piece is both defiant and celebratory, a reflection of a woman’s resilience, and a reminder to the artist that she was still able to create even within a time in her life that was filled with limitations.

"In finding info about the history of Black Americans in the military, I found a compelling image in the John Henry McCray collection at the University of SC . This painting is inspired by that image and the long history of Black Americans have served this country." - Stephen Towns⁠

For #ExpoChicago's Environmental Thematic, De Buck

For #ExpoChicago's Environmental Thematic, De Buck Gallery presents, 'Arctic Ocean I,' 2016/2013 by artist Justin Brice.⁠ View the full digital exposition at @expochicago on the @hook.art platform linked in our bio.⁠
⁠
Justin Brice’s process is rooted in photography. As an embedded artist working alongside NASA glaciologists and scientists in Greenland, Brice photographed the rapidly changing ice sheets and the breaking up of sea ice from above while aboard a plane collecting data on global warming. The artist’s interest in visually documenting human impact in the landscape prompted him to use a large-format industrial printer to apply paint polymers to the gessoed linen surfaces to depict both visually and materially an aerial view of the rapidly declining Arctic landscape. Curator Tim Wride of the @NortonMuseumofArt explains, “…Brice’s works are predicated on images of the landscape. As such, they confront every photographer who has ever pointed his camera out a window…” ⁠
⁠
Brice’s practice reveals the problematic relationship humankind has with the natural world by visually and materially engaging with the landscape. @sothebys’ has called him, “one of the most prominent cultural figures working to address climate change.” ⁠

Visit our booth online at #ExpoChicago featuring lyrical works by Tina Williams Brewer, like this piece, 'Diaspora Series: Hand of God,' 2013. This work was selected by @ericshiner , executive director of @pioneerworks , for his Curated Selection at EXPO Chicago! Access @expochicago on the @hook.art platform at the link in our bio.

Tina Williams Brewer's 'Diaspora Series' quilts are a composite study and investigation into the layers of migration patterns and cultural blending throughout the African Diaspora. Illustrated by a medallion composition, the quilts draw upon symbols from Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Europe, and include layers of ocean currents and migration patterns. When considering George Orwell's premise of "He who records history holds the power," this series asks the question: who suffers when history reflects an uneven recount of ancient culture? - Courtesy of Laura Horner

Tina Williams Brewer's work is currently featured in 'Works by African-American Artists from the HMA Collection,' a spotlight exhibition celebrating works by African American artists from the distinguished collection of the @huntingtonmuseumofart

Later this year, Tina Williams Brewer will also be featured in an upcoming museum show at the @morrismuseum in New Jersey, a Smithsonian affiliate. De Buck Gallery artist Stephen Towns, will also be included.
