In his best exhibition to date @daveshrobe is showing some Beautiful & Strong works @thierrygoldberg For his second solo exhibition in New York, David Shrobe took inspiration from a lecture given by #FrederickDouglass in Boston’s Tremont Temple in 1861. In the address Douglass wrote: “Poets, prophets, and reformers are all picture-makers — and this ability is the secret of their power and of their achievements. They see what ought to be by the reflection of what is ...” Picture-Makers essentially demonstrate the artist’s ambition to constitute all three persona — poet, prophet, and reformer — in the figure of a temporal and spatial traveler. Adding complexity to this aspiration he has painted several different characters who are incarnations of this hybrid figure. Shrobe seeks to explain his practice by saying, “It’s about how to make an image from a variety of things and different ways of working that speak to the story” This is to say that he means to make a complex image that operates in several registers at the same time. You perceive the different strata of meaning if you give the paintings (and the sometimes hidden figures featured in them) their due attention. Some of these registers are historical, political, personal, imaginary, and sensual. - Seph Rodney David Shrobe, Picture-Makers, #davidshrobe #thierrygoldberggallery #picturemakers #blackportraiture #blackrenaissance #blackexcellence #blackness #blackhistory #blackbeauty #blackart #contemporaryblackart #africanamerican #contemporaryart #americanart #blackidentity #blackheritage #blackculture #blkcreatives #boxbraids #ombrehair #artlovers #artcollectors #artcurators #artadvisors #artadvisory #destineeross @desti.knee & #joakimvonditmar (at Thierry Goldberg Gallery) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2WqQFglEtr/?igshid=6frmbccon3gf

Really enjoyed this #DavidShrobe (@daveshrobe) work as well at “PUNCH” curated by @ninachanel at @jeffreydeitchgallery in #LosAngeles. It really jumped out to me almost as a mixed currency. A mixture of class (rich and poor), and a sense of meshed duality with the subject appearing to me as possibly a royal, noble or teacher. The checkered floor really reflects well against the negative space of the lower end of the painting, reflecting a chalkboard drawing. • #ArtAboveReality #LookWhatArtFound #Inspiring #Art #Curator #ContemporaryArt #FineArt #ArtMarket #ContemporaryPainting #CollectArt #ContemporaryArtCollectors #LiveWithArt #ArtConsultant #ShotOniPhone #ContemporaryArtist #ArtistsOnInstagram (at Jeffrey Deitch) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzUlLMbHvj8/?igshid=1bvf81bfxmxku
