A spokesperson describes the event as follows:
“...Featuring works by Letitia Huckaby, Earlie Hudnall, Jr., David McGee, and Delita Martin, this presentation spotlights a select group of Texas-based artists whose work is figurative in nature and characterized by a heightened sensibility toward personal histories and socio-political events. The selected works center on the human body, specifically the Black body, as a means of mining the past to more fully understand the present.
With imagery inspired by friends, family members, neighbors, and local communities, the compositions of these four artists employ a wide range of media, including photography, watercolor, and printmaking, in order to claim space for their subjects. Acknowledging the historical absence of Black bodies in Western art, their works invoke generational interconnections and highlight untold stories based on the artists’ personal experiences of living and working in Texas..."
