BLACK ART ON DISPLAY
Fragile Figures: Beings and Time learn more
21C BENTONVILLE Feb 2024 - Jan 2025
ABOUT THE EXHIBITION
From the micro systems at work in the human body, to the macro forces— the environmental, social, cultural, and political—that shape how we see self and other, the artworks featured in Fragile Figures: Beings and Time illuminate the complexity of identity, revealing intersections between vulnerability and power in portraiture. Individual and group identity are approached through direct references to noted works from art history, connecting past events to current issues.
Alfred Conteh, Aaron (detail), 2018. Acrylic, atomized steel dust and soil on canvas
