Publisher & Editor

This “migration” is not unique to the Midwest. As we progress further into our digital age, and with a good nudge from COVID-19, it has become clear that one can have a thriving career without residing in a major city. This trend is a boon for emerging artists, who can now focus on finding affordable studio space and living conditions as they build their careers. One of the perks of my job, and the volume of artwork that I am privileged to interact with on an annual basis, is being able to detect “trends” within the space of painting well before they wash over the art world. It is no secret that the figure has been the dominant subject

Lorena Cruz Santiago

Juror’s Pick p52

Cruz Santiago’s work centers on Indigenous knowledge and the lived experience of migrants. Earlier series by the artist layer imagery of farmworkers over sheets of social security cards and permanent resident cards, a poignant commentary on undocumented labor. In a later series, the artist depicts images from her parents’ garden to delve into Indigenous gardening traditions from her Mixtec ancestral heritage. For the latter series she uses gum bichromate, a printing process that requires exposure to sunlight, much like growing a garden. Both series privilege close looking and attention to layered meanings. n

Alexandria Couch

Editor’s Pick p48

Couch turns her paintings into construction sites, where figures are assembled from multiple references and body parts; the materiality of her work is equally fluid. Her subjects are both powerful and vulnerable, confrontational and reticent. Couch is interested how Black identity is formed, and the ways in which disruption, assimilation, and evolution can be used by marginalized and dislocated communities to inhabit spaces that were not built for them. For me, there is an extraordinary tension derived from the alignment of her formal choices and subject matter. n

submissions, I sought to get away: to backyard barbecues and family gatherings seemingly across oceans, to street corners in urban neighborhoods, and to the past via family archives remade in acrylic paint on canvas and seen through the lens of a generational divide. Even the abstract paintings I chose took me places, often by means of collaged bags, the device with which one might literally take belongings across oceans and borders. Monsur Awotunde’s Moving Entities series incorporates the sacks typically used to package and transport food in his native Nigeria. Referring to the movement of commodities across borders, the works inevitably evoke the migration of people. I am reminded of the informal cloth containers migrants use—and sometimes, heartbreakingly, lose—while making impossible journeys through deserts and rivers as they seek refuge and separated family members.

The intimacy of space and the memory latent in objects pervade the paintings of Toledo-based artist Jordan Buschur. With the depiction of material culture she composes a mediated portrait of motherhood, self, and artistic identity. Artists are equally adept at moving their audience toward the space of social possibility and reform. Cleveland-based Antwoine Washington demands the proverbial seat at the table in work that comments on the oppression and racism confronted by many artists of color in America.

I embrace distinctly “soft” aesthetics and subject matter, which have historically been dismissed as feminine and frivolous. Moments of intimacy and vulnerability are where my particular interests lie, as it is in these moments that we reveal ourselves. I illustrate these moments through embroidered images of skin, embraces between loved ones, portraits, and the like. My art often involves embellishments, lace, and lots of pink. In this way, my work is intentionally “girly,” to reclaim femininity as a source of strength and pride rather than a weakness.

My work straddles the arbitrary divide between “crafts” and “fine art” to highlight the beauty, complexity, and breadth of historically undervalued craft materials. I meticulously hand-stitch thousands of individual threads to create portraits that read as paintings. My art is a unique blend of the traditional and contemporary, using timehonored embroidery techniques in a novel way. In doing so, my goal is to pioneer new ways of using embroidery and bring a medium that has historically been dismissed as “women’s work” deeper into the fine-art world.

My work encapsulates a rigorous investigation, in which I shed light on the immediacy of issues regarding violence, trauma, and loss. I honor those affected by mayhem and those who are no longer with us. By exploring various processes, I physically push the boundaries of paint, wrestling with the image, in order to capture the emotional and psychological toll these issues have on me, my family, and community. I am constantly trying to develop a language that adequately represents the world we inhabit. Through the spiritual process of painting, I can confront these realities and the issues that enclose us.

2015-16 Assistant Mural Instructor, After School Matters,

After moving his art practice into a warehouse studio in 2019, the inspiration and substrate of architecture and location for Rubén Aguirre’s public works shifted towards the natural land as inspiration for studio works. By building on the visual language of his murals, his current studio work has generated a new dialect, where reduced shapes and colors speak of terrestrial forms. Rendered as abstract topographies, his wood panel paintings invoke poetic contemplations on origin, self-awareness, one’s connection to the Earth, and our impermanence. These abstracted meditations reflect on the unforgiving tectonic forces of nature while remaining ambiguous and peripheral.

My work explores the themes of home, travel, desire, and memory. My current body of work, Moving Entities, explores the idea of relocation and dislocation through abstraction. The relocation from one continent to another, and from one country to another country, the dramatic cultural shift, the absence of one’s basic and essential foods, are felt deeply as one finds himself in the presence of starkly different substitutes.

Nihin Lohun (Here and There), Rele Gallery,

The most recent pieces are embedded with various detritus, such as paper, polythene, plastic, and jute bags—all of which are commonly used in the transportation of food products, especially in Nigeria and the US. The materiality of the work highlights the metaphorical notions of travel: the migration of people and the movement of foods as commodities for human consumption.

My work explores the symmetry between beauty and awkwardness, happiness and despair, the natural and the synthetic. Transformation and anthropomorphism interest me, as does our ability to turn any combination of shapes into a visual language. I give all of my drawings the same title, Head, as a nod to the systematic process I use to make them. I work in a consistent format and with a limited vocabulary. Beginning with the same eggshaped outline for each one, I fill it with circles and lines until a figure emerges. I then layer in dots and marks and allow this markmaking, and how it looks as it accumulates, to determine whether a shape is on top, underneath, concave or convex. Though my approach is process-based, it is ultimately intuitive. Every artwork is an exploration and I am open to surprises.

My work explores the uncertainty of life through a Black lens. I highlight how absurd the world can feel for Black Americans by taking what can feel familiar and safe, and distorting it. The familiarity stems from my use of imagery from popular culture, such as cartoons, films, famous artworks, and myths and folklore. For many people, these media have offered representation, escapism, or a way to understand the world and bond with others. In my work, I often emphasize uncomfortable aspects of these usually reassuring images, placing them in scarcely filled urban and domestic spaces to interrogate the role they play for the subjects of the paintings and for Black Americans as a whole. My goal is to create a sense of uncomfortable intimacy, as though viewers are unintentionally intruding upon private moments.

My paintings depict psychologically infused narratives where the familiar is imbued with a sense of sublime mystery. Figures inhabit a world suspended between dreams and reality, transfixed by surreal aberrations, ethereal elements, and transported states of mind. Visual components are allusive reflections drawn in part from my past of growing up in an insular religious group, living in a milieu of end times prophecies, unsettling otherwise quiet perceptions of banal Midwestern normalcy. These mysterious undercurrents are reimagined on canvas and fused with other influences such as film, science fiction, magical realism, and sense of place to explore personal and universal feelings of isolation, longing, wonder, and loss in an attempt to find visual equivalents for inchoate feelings, atomized and diluted with the distance of time.

My paintings imply a human presence through the depiction of accumulated collections. The items in each collection—including the contents of desk drawers, stacks of books, packed boxes, and objects on display—are united by systems of value shaped by mystery, sentimentality, and the matriarchal connection.

Each painting focuses on the oscillation between personal resonance and public display, reality and invention, fixed meaning and open interpretation. I’m interested in the assignment of nonmonetary value to objects as an inherently interior and idiosyncratic act. In this way, the paintings are portraits.

What identity is projected into the world through a carefully arranged collection? What stories are withheld, hidden beneath the object’s surface?

The Black people in Alexandria Couch’s work are strictly familiar—composed of multiple references, broken down and pieced together to reconstruct being. The use of found mediums, like recycled thread, fabric, and paper scraps, fuse imagery and materiality to create objects that exist on both physical and temporal planes. The friction that arises from abstraction mimics the reformation of marginal identities adapting to dislocation.

Dissonance is facilitated between bodies and their surroundings. Flat and agitated areas of paint are used to disrupt the space or provide areas of brief respite. Body parts are created, cut down, and reassembled to generate whole figures. Layers are scraped, cut away, and reapplied.

The figures embody a certain power in vulnerability. They confront the viewer and question their gaze on their moments of intimacy. They are captured in moments of suspension—between familiarity and routine, assimilation and evolution. Between moments of collective happiness and learning to wield together forces of antagonism with the vast, strange magic that constructs the Black identity: how we inhabit a world not built for us.

Through an interdisciplinary art practice, I make work informed by experiences of migration, assimilation, and indigeneity. My recent works reflect my effort to learn about my parents’ Mixtec culture, most recently through their gardening practices. During calls with my parents where they walk me through their garden explaining their process and progress, I utilize FaceTime as a medium to take pictures which I then print using gum bichromate. These prints are exposed to sunlight, and I imagine them harnessing the power of the sun as plants do during photosynthesis.

Part of this work is my research into Indigenous visual sovereignty. During my parents’ early lives in a rural indigenous town, San Juan Mixtepec, Oaxaca, Mexico, access to photography was scarce. As a result, my parents and their families lack a photographic record of their early life. This new work allows them to become image-makers instead of the subjects of my work as they had been previously. My parents become collaborators—helping compose my source images, and creating a new family archive.

My work is inspired by and questions American society’s live-to-work mentality. I am concerned with the cultural and environmental impact of this obsession, as well as the physical and mental health ramifications. In 1931, the economist John Maynard Keynes published a short essay, “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren.” There he states that “by 2030 the standard of living would be dramatically higher; people, liberated from want (and without the desire to consume for the sake of consumption), would work no more than fifteen hours a week, devoting the rest of their time to leisure and culture.” My work envisions a world where his prediction has come true.

In the fall of 2019, I had the privilege of living and working in the heart of Tokyo. With time to explore and create new work, I made paintings based on encounters, interactions, and observations. This began a journey I hoped might capture the freshness of this endeavor in the form of responsive imagery or documentation for future development. Daily, I ran the hilly terrain of Minato-ku, sometimes finding my way back to the studio, often getting lost. Encountering the city in this manner led to unexpected visual discoveries. I looked forward to this perceptual investigation. Pictures appeared somewhere up in a high window, on a tiny street, or in a favorite grocery. Acting neither as voyeur nor literal translator, I saw my motif more clearly each day. Appreciation of the nuance and complexity of the Japanese sensibility was, and remains, gift received as treasure, sans expectations. When I returned to the US, COVID was a contagion cast upon the world. In my Hyde Park, Chicago, studio, I continue the work started in Japan.

These works are drawings, made with ivory black watercolor on paper. For me, drawing is about transparency, the most direct route from an idea to the paper. Watercolor pushes back on my obsessive tendencies, requiring me to make compromises and not lose the forest for the trees. The drawings are inspired by chance encounters with objects, spaces, or events that trigger moments of clarity, where they suddenly appear to be intensely strange, or intensely beautiful. I attempt to stage these moments, either on site or in the studio, but inevitably I end up making changes. Through the process of careful setup and sustained looking, measuring, and drawing, I find a new clarity in the act of making. The images are animated by a consciousness lurking in the atmosphere, as though the membrane between two worlds has worn thin. My subconscious seems to be trying to tell me something through the choices I make in the studio, and I watch themes emerge—memory, loss, change, and the fantastic.

Thomas Frontini combines surrealist techniques of painting detailed foreground images with atmospheric backgrounds. The dreamlike imagery balances contemporary objects with historical scenes. His paintings explore magic in the mundane and draw from the transformative power of the subconscious. Frontini’s palette and technique are directly influenced by his Italian heritage and interest in Italian art history. With his incorporation of historical research into the modern day, he creates a dialogue across time—from the past, present, and future. His reference material is sourced from current topical issues that humans face, using metaphors to portray an intangible potential of the future. Immense landscapes stretch out around intricately painted flora and fauna. Thickly painted cliff faces and clouds are dotted with tiny details of futuristic habitats. Expressive abstract orbs are enwrapped in a volume of light and distance. In a carefully measured vagueness, Frontini’s paintings address not only the seen world, but a world of puzzling fantasies. .

I examine the often conflicting ways we conceive of the natural world. My approach is multidisciplinary—I work with a wide range of materials and images to create mixed-media paintings and collages, experimental videos, and installative interventions and situations. My understanding of landscape and art is entwined in broader social makings. The cultural construction of landscape as practiced by contemporary industries is frequently interrogated in my work. An example of this is interior house paint colors with names such as Iceberg Blue or Glacier Lake. What is at stake when paint products use aspects of landscape to evoke emotional responses in consumers, stimulating us to bring romanticized notions of the natural environment into our dwellings?

My recent projects address the confines through which images are constructed and the interface between built and natural environments. My line of questioning considers how images of landscape and architecture influence the contemporary value of nature, home, and desire for control amongst perceived chaos. I ultimately ask, in what new ways are humans tied to their environment?

Working primarily in oil paint and gouache, Gregor creates psychological portraits of young girls caught within the awkward tension between girlhood and womanhood, innocence and sexuality. Her compositions are often warm and inviting, yet loom with a sense of existential dread. The surroundings that the figures are confined to hint at rural Midwestern landscapes and outdated interiors. There is a sense of frustration and boredom behind the girl’s often heavy eyes.

I have always been infatuated with the complexity of the intrapersonal. A space where emotions, time, memory, and knowledge live amongst each other. The way that these elements work together and war together in a single hidden space provides a theatrical glimpse into what it’s like to be human. My work explores this hidden space and its ability to visualize and have selfdialogue resulting in conflict, innovation, and transformations that propel us forward and sometimes hold us back. I like to believe that my paintings are all the elements spilling out of me and taking a human form. Almost like a personification of the intrapersonal.

I address the Black maternal mortality and morbidity crisis in America through painting and multimedia. Black women are three to four times more likely to die from pregnancy-related complications than white women. Influenced by my own traumatic pregnancy and survival, the imagery centers the experiences of Black mothers and children who have suffered loss but challenge the institutional modes in finding solutions. Motifs are structured around ideas dictated by new rituals of care. The images serve as a call to action for more awareness, research, and eradication of unnecessary maternal and infant death in the United States of America.

Growing Up Jewish–Art & Storytelling is a series of contemporary artworks and short narratives about Jewish identity as it evolved through five generations of my family. Inspired by vintage photos, I created this series to look at the people, experiences, and community that shaped my Jewish identity, to tell my family’s Jewish story, and perhaps shine a fresh new light on what North American Judaic art could look like. Some pieces in the series depict joyful accounts of the Judaism of my youth, including memories of Jewish summer camp, Purim carnivals, or singing around Passover tables; other pieces speak to my family’s history, including the acculturation process experienced by my parents and grandparents who arrived in Canada after the devastation of the Holocaust and rebuilt their lives with complicated feelings of anguish and optimism. I examine my personal Jewish observances—the traditions I’ve kept, the ones I’ve “adjusted” to better suit my family’s current needs, and the ones I wrestle with. Every seemingly simple Jewish moment I painted had a story.

Balls of Light and Columns of Smoke (with Gabriele Meyer),

My original inspiration for making fiber art came from studying ethnic embroidery traditions. I aim to make modern pieces that are as faithful to their materials as traditional handmade textiles. I often work in smaller formats, which allow the fibers and the individual threads to have a more dominant visual role in the final image. After the pandemic began, my work became more representational and focused on my family and our daily life. I was embroidering us, but because of the medium, the fabrics around us came through very vividly. What started as a record of the period of stay-at-home orders and social distancing became, at least in part, a series about people and their textiles.

Avoiding the label Queer Artist for twenty-seven years afforded me plenty of time to figure out who I was before coming out professionally as a trans man. But that’s not why I ran from the label for so long. Maybe it’s because queer still has that bitter taste of a word I was taught not to say. Maybe it’s because queer feels like a declaration of arrival, a one-way ticket destination. Or maybe my hesitation came from being denied healthcare and insurance, being harassed in public, and having my job threatened. I take on the label, Queer Artist, not as a stopping point but rather as a way of looking at a system that does not recognize my existence, and saying: You don’t get to tell me what that word means anymore.

Although I have been painting for many years, Nuances is my first abstract series. I have worked on many different themes and materials, but with Nuances I have stripped myself of excuses and excesses, decanting from painting what I find essential: color and composition.

Regions of color that generate new tones and transparencies as they overlap. There are no lines or stories, only color and composition. With Nuances I experience the peace and joy of seeing colors be themselves. The manifestation of art as a pure expression with neither purpose nor bounds. To look at life in the eye and find nothing but the creative pulse. See the human essence in art as a cultural product that does not need to hide the arbitrariness of its origin.

I strive to dissolve the association of Black bodies with brutality by highlighting Black individuality and interconnectedness. I explore the intimacy of understanding oneself and others through painting several nude figures that are connected, intertwined, or physical reflections of each other. I do the same when depicting human beings’ relationship with the environment, creating subjects that appear to be at the intersection of human beings and flowers or trees.

Chicago, IL Young Blood II, The Holy Art Gallery, London, England (online) 2021

Together We Rise, Visionary Art Collective, Brooklyn, NY (online) Visionary Art Gallery, Hairpins Arts Center, Chicago, IL

As my work is a reclamation of the intersectional Black body, it is fundamentally about acceptance. I mix the abstract and realistic in a single piece to push the boundary of what we categorize as completion and perfection. By concealing parts of figures behind thick layers of color, I reflect the known and the unknown parts of the self and the constant development of self-discovery.

The selected works are an invitation into a psychological space, an expression of the embodiment of the Sevens of the Tarot using a labyrinth of allusions, ideas, and images. The pieces touch on grand yet subtle ways of communicating—gesture, body language, and theatricality; intimacy and alienation in bars; and finding the queer erotic in the quotidian. The connotations of the Sevens, the mise-en-abyme device, and transitional architectural spaces are motifs whose overlap speaks to the theme of duration, transformation, passage, allowing the possibility of various perspectives on the same idea, of holding multiple, even sometimes contradictory, vantage points simultaneously.

Influenced by Baroque art, photographs, film stills, and her father’s work with mosaics, Anisa Rakaj creates intimate portraits that adulate the female form and embrace embellishment. Rakaj methodically arranges her compositions, intentionally suspending her figures in an alluring stillness. Utilizing theatrical lighting, body positioning, and ornamentation, Rakaj imbues her work with a sense of drama. Each subject, conscious of the viewer, hangs upon the precipice of action, reveling in the chance of voyeurism. There is raw power exhibited as her subjects preside ownership over their sensuality, gaining fulfillment through their premeditated presentation. Confronting superficial eroticism, Rakaj’s works explore issues of agency, ownership, and censorship in the representation of female sexuality.

My work is an ongoing investigation of Latin America and Latin American culture. Half-Panamanian and half–North American, my identity wrestles with two cultures and two languages. As a young man, I spoke English and often dreamed in Spanish. Travels to Latin America provide the basis for my art by informing dreams and exploring subject matter that is both foreign and familiar. Subsequently, my paintings are not documentation of specific places or events, but rather landscapes of memory, exploring a line between dream and wake time, and striving for a balance between the sublime and the melancholy.

Throughout my childhood, I was privy to my Latino father’s personal stories, music, and language. In addition, Latin American literature, both Magic Realism (Jorge Luis Borges) and Realism (Roberto Bolaño), have been sources of inspiration. My paintings reveal polarities such as the modern vs. ancient, the secular vs. religious, and text vs. imagery. The results of my observations are reflected by the language and imagery of my work and, in turn, broach the inseparability of crossed cultures.

Sorrells has been surrounded by Western culture and ideologies for most of his life. He makes work that is meant to establish spaces for Black narratives in fine art institutions. Using oil paint and drawing in his extensive studies of American history, he creates work with a loving touch that is enriching and intricate. Sorrells is absorbed by the idea of spreading African American culture through his art, focusing on dramatic yet intimate and vulnerable scenes.

I take books from Western classic literature and American textbooks and use them as a framework for portraits inspired by family photographs. The resulting palimpsests become new narratives that invite viewers to reexamine the stories they might already know well—now through a different lens.

I am interested in memory. How we perceive and recover the past; how we translate our past into the present; how our present stories create our future. Language is a conveyor for memory, shaping what is remembered and brought forward. With American English established as the de facto national language in the Philippines, what was effectively erased? What futures were eradicated?

Jillian Van Volkenburgh is a multidisciplinary artist. Moving from painting to photography to sculpture, the subject matter dictates the medium. Her work is rooted in her experiences in the industrial corridor southeast of Chicago. She is currently focused on work based on personal transition, with themes of home, work, legacy, and death. These themes are translated into variations of both symbolic and literal imagery, ultimately creating a broad self-portrait.

Working predominantly as a painter, I tell short stories of justice and social improvement. Using portraiture and protest paintings that represent the African American experience, I examine the ways in which past issues affect the present. I experiment with various formalist approaches; family relationships are the framework that connects disparate bodies of work and show how joy and trauma are intrinsically connected. Through my work, I invite viewers to see the world through my eyes, fostering an intimate experience between audience member and subject. By encouraging this shift in perspective, I hope to counteract the stereotypes of the absent Black father, using my practice to push back against racist narratives.

My current body of oil paintings explores the environments existing on the periphery that most people ignore. Strong emotions can be prompted by a place. Over time, ways of life shape and define people and the spaces in which they live. I am drawn to areas and structures that show character acquired from the history and memory of the people that formed that environment. Living in one place for an extended period of time provided me with a sense of local perspective that no outsider possesses. The pervasive feeling of loyalty and local identity present in this region contributes to the specialness of my home in the Midwest. My relationship to this community and the process between people and places has been an important aspect of my art.

After becoming a mother, my relationship to time changed. I am awake more hours than I used to be and am busier than before. Yet, there is also a lot of downtime when I am alone with my thoughts. Those brief, flickering thoughts that come and go between so many other things have become the subject of my new work. Sam Anderson wrote, “A vast majority of our waking hours are filled not with witty jokes or brilliant thoughts or epic feelings but with tiny, private mind-motions—thoughts that are hardly even thoughts at all, that don’t rise to the level of sharing with another human being. That millisecond when—again and again—a rusty pipe looks like an owl, or a newscaster’s voice reminds you of a long-gone uncle, or a daily routine sets off a small chain of involuntary associations. These things are almost nothing, and yet they are who we are.” Painting these thoughts is an attempt to capture a nearly invisible but very large part of being alive.

Phyllis Bramson, Carole Caroompas, Margaret Curtis,

My paintings often feature strong female images, blending fantastical elements of seduction and eroticism with the apparent innocence of fairy tales and kitsch (think Disneyland meets Bollywood). Within these fabricated worlds, fairy tale–like paintings unfold but are unresolved and are not as wholesome as one might believe. My work does not imitate proper behavior, nor does it function like a monogamous relationship. The basic theme of my work has always been love and affection in a hostile world. Like the Rococo, accused of containing “illicit fanciful joining and promiscuity.” Using the embodiment of everything excessive, contaminated and unnatural . . . in other words, uncontrolled imagination. The Rococo and Chinoiserie style of my paintings is colored by my childhood—my parents were avid collectors of alternative and erotic art, much of it Asian and within a kitsch decor. Painting, like life, is riddled with paradoxical opposition in terms of fact and fiction, both conceptually and visually—as these are dramatic times of diversity and complexity. That’s how the world is—it functions and doesn’t function. Likewise, my paintings function and don’t function.

In my work, I employ a variety of strategies to suggest the uncertain nature of perception and to explore the complex language of representation.

Many of my works simultaneously use and subvert the practices of trompe-l’oeil by suggesting the illusion of space and then thwarting that illusion within the same composition. The works presented here are from a recent series titled Profane Mimesis, which takes Hans Holbein’s 1533 painting The Ambassadors as a model through which to approach these concerns. In each painting, imagery referencing Holbein’s painting is isolated, obscured, flattened, or blurred until barely recognizable. Through this combination of selective imitation and alteration, these paintings reinterpret Holbein’s dedication to the representation of the observable world. This practice of representing and altering historical images reflects a debt to the history of Western painting while also suggesting doubt about the ability of such works to serve as guides in the present. These out-of-focus images might be read as suggesting both sight and memory, both of which are slippery and inexact, powerful but not entirely trustworthy.

Kaylie Kaitschuck uses machine embroidery to draw with yarn and create fantastical yet overwhelming landscapes. She sources her narratives from her family, symbolism, and dreams. These embroideries serve as her own chaotic maps that hold no real navigational route or exit. Drifting through the real and the fake, they are an archive of memory that may or may not have ever existed.

I make paintings that read like a single sentence. Solitary. Distilled. I’m interested in an image that is mutually assertive and poetic—that has been pared down to an essence, without ever becoming austere or, worse, inaccessible. Within the work, abstract forms and organic imagery are depicted with an illusionistic playfulness that allows the painting a degree of complexity while remaining relatively minimal. I am seeking a gentleness. While creating these works, I find myself mentally drifting to imagined landscapes where my senses fixate upon a place where quiet, natural gestures are carried out unencumbered. These paintings are composed of screenprinted acrylic on Belgium linen. By printing an image rather than painting it, I find solace in the gradual and mediated process of applying thin layers of ink that can either be absorbed into the linen or build on top of itself, creating a variance across the surface of the painting. This effect is inviting to the viewer and positions them to reconcile the relationship between image and the physical minutiae of the works’ materiality.

Having survived the 2010 earthquake that displaced him to Chicago from his native Haiti, Olivier Souffrant reshapes experiences of duress and endurance by channeling them into beauty through disruption. The foundation of his practice lies within challenging the illusions and allures of life that we as a society have attached ourselves to. By mixing digital collage, painting, and appropriation, his unconventional methods raise questions about accessibility and creativity within the contemporary art world. He uses the digital process as a double-edged sword to elevate digital media while simultaneously critiquing consumer culture and the digital world. Souffrant’s visual discourse draws from a deep well of art history, pop culture, and philosophy. Through an intentional selection of metaphors and language, each painting acts as a societal dissection, allowing Souffrant to reflect on the imperfections of self, hubris, despair, and desire.
