More about the exhibition:
There is no singular way to address the conversation of race and representation in contemporary art. The artists of Personal to Political capture the personal narratives and political battles of African American artists across the country, reflecting a collective experience expressed in uniquely individual ways. Drawing from Berkeley, California’s Paulson Fontaine Press’ vast collection of fine art prints by African America artists, this exhibition is dynamic both visually and conceptually. The exhibition includes print interpretations of Gee’s Bend quilts, fantasy narratives and complex examinations of the past. Paulson Fontaine Press has a long tradition of supporting both established and under-represented artists who, in their studio practice, work in a broad reach of media and conceptual approaches.
In addition to numerous prints from Paulson Fontaine Press, this show includes sculptures and quilts that include both narrative and abstract imagery.
