Mark Steven Greenfield & Naima J. Keith: Exhibition Walkthrough
308 Charles E. Young Dr., Los Angeles, CA 90095
Saturday, November 21 at 12:00 PM – 1:00 PM
Ends Nov 21, 2020
Mark Steven Greenfield, a native of LA, uses his art to explore the African-American experience, critiquing and offering unique perspectives on a society still grappling with the consequences of slavery and racial injustice. His newest body of work consists of 17 “Black Madonna” paintings that re-imagine Medieval religious icons rendered in the Byzantine style of their art historical predecessors. Greenfield places Black bodies in a place of exaltation, offering an imagined time that is hard to pinpoint, but during which white supremacy suffers the same vicious deaths that have historically been forced upon Black bodies.
Join Mark and Naima J. Keith for an exhibition walk-through at William Turner Gallery, followed by a conversation and Q&A. Free with RSVP!
