Untitled Art Fair “UNTITLED, ART is an international, curated art fair founded in 2012 that focuses on curatorial balance and integrity across all disciplines of contemporary art. UNTITLED, ART innovates the standard fair model by selecting a curatorial team to identify, and curate a selection of galleries, artist-run exhibition spaces, and non-profit institutions and organizations, in dialogue with an architecturally designed venue.” 1.

Beautiful work by my friend Patrick @_Quarm @albertzbenda “Anasesem” a group exhibition with Conrad Egyir @conrad_egyir. #PatrickQuarm painting figures directly onto spliced and layered African print fabrics, Quarm explores questions of cultural authenticity and hybridity. “If you take an individual they are made up of several stories, several histories,” Quarm explains. “You have to dig further.” It’s also a beautiful thing that the long overdue awakening of a great hunger for black artists and their narrative and sense of esthetic is making more and more galleries wanting to be a part of this shift in giving artists from the African diaspora unprecedented exposure. All I can say is more of it as it’s about darn time! It’s still too male dominated, but even there change is finally on its way. #PatrickQuarm #albertzbenda #Anansesem #africanwaxprint #africanprints #ghanaian #ghana #contemporaryafricanart #africancontemporaryart #africanart #blackartists #poc #africanamerican #blackexcellence #blackness #blackbeauty #blackhistory #blackculture #culture #artlover #artcollector #artcurator #artadvisor #artadvisory #destineeross @desti.knee & #joakimvonditmar (at Albertz Benda) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Hd4GPF1wQ/?igshid=yo7hexknd5ae

‘Snow Day’ group exhibition @thierrygoldberg works by #PatrickQuarm #MarcelaFlorido #JessicaSpens #IsaacMann #DavidShrobe #JessicaWesthafer Opening tonight Thurs 6-8 Exhibition Jan 10 - Feb 10, 109 Norfolk Street, NYC The exhibition takes its title fr @_JessicaWesthafer ’s painting “Snow Day”, 2018, which presents a carefree winter scene. Westhafer’s paintings offer intimate glimpses into everyday events, with subjects both vulnerable & playful.  Her graphic style & use of vivid colors help to make these commonplace scenes, taken from the artist’s own experiences, notable – they are exaggerated, but still capture distinctive, human emotions. 1. Patrick Quarm @_quarm “Untitled”, 2019 paint, fabric, metal Quarm’s work deals with cultural fusion. The artist, born & raised in Ghana, currently living in the US, is focused on the idea of a hybrid culture & identity: the creation of something entirely new that happens when histories & experiences are merged. 2. & 3. Jessica Spens (b.1986) @jessmyart “Braids and Barettes”, 2018 & “Weekends at Aunties”, 2018 Spence uses women & girls she knows as subjects for her unconventional portraits. 4. David Shrobe @daveshrobe “Glaciation 1”, 2019 mixed media on canvas 32” x 26” Shrobe merges painting, drawing, collage, sculpture & found objects to create complex assemblages that challenge conventions of classical portraiture. 5. Marcela Florido (b.1988) @m.florido “Untitled”, 2018 oil on canvas Florido uses her work to confront traditions in painting & investigate where they come from & what histories they communicate. She employs figuration to challenge artistic traditions of her native Brazil, where figuration in art is not widely accepted; women’s bodies, in particular, are often seen as taboo, especially for a #femaleartist to portray. 6. Isaac Mann (b.1986) @isaac.mann “Untitled”, 2019 oil on canvas 64” x 103” Mann crafts a chaotic, mysterious narrative with his paintings. Characters & forms will recur between works; his figures are abstracted, composed of simplified shapes & intertwined with each other, imbuing the compositions with even more ambiguity. 7.
