B. Robert Moore’s thought-provoking paintings are amongst 20 artists currently on view in MASTERPIECE II. . We Rose (Out the Mud), 2021. Acrylic, charcoal, oil pigment, up-cycled sculptural mixed media (saw dust, bonding agent, water ++) on stretched canvas // wood float framed. 48 x 36 in (121.92 x 91.44 cm). . For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man. 1 Corinthians 15:21 Continuing from the first work I did earlier in 2021 titled, ‘We Rise’ referencing the resiliency of flowers in reference of the black body, mind and soul. Roses are considered a token of love and are iconic in that regard, Yet, roses have thorns to protect them from other predators and as they grow, can monopolize the sunshine, overpowering other plants causing them to die. So as I respond to the curatorial statement, I will respond to the title of the exhibits rhetorical question, where do we go from here? We Rose, Out the Mud. The global black community has been forced to exude the magnitude of our strength and power. We have been forced by systemic oppression and colonialism to refuse our oppressors; figuratively and literally breaking through concrete, rising from the mud, just as a rose but with thorns and power in our presence that can be misunderstood as love. Picking a rose is hardly an act of love. Roses aren’t meant to be picked. They are meant to grow and take over. . This exhibition in on view in our original gallery and is open Weds - Sat, 12-5pm and also By Appointment. .

Alicia Piller’s mesmerizing wall sculpture is just one of the compelling artworks amongst 20 artists currently on view in MASTERPIECE II. . Vines Crawl Over Cracks. Reconstructing Ruins , 2021. Mixed media: Vinyl, resin, laser prints, recycled screen printing ink on masking tape, latex balloons, gel medium, malachite and azurite beads, and Kambaba Jasper. 42 x 30 in (106.68 x 76.20 cm). Ms. Piller’s work is in the Hammer Museum’s Permanent Collection among her many other prestigious acquisitions. . This work speaks to decaying infrastructures; systems born through colonialism, capitalism and manifest destiny. Always inspired by nature, the idea of an ancient building covered in plants and veins, overgrown completely transforming the structure itself. This piece speaks to the anxiety of living under such systems of destruction while also touching on an element of healing and growth by way of-time, by way of nature, by way of re-birthing and reconfiguration. .
