New works in painting, sculpture, and installation use supernatural color and uncanny luminescence to evade the reductive nature of traditional figuration. Their palettes embody the lived experiences and cross-cultural allegiances of a multiethnic, multiracial, and otherwise multifaceted group of makers. Together, they push at and spill over the outermost limits of realism, highlighting the figure’s manipulability and continual metamorphosis.In turn, their practices generate space for resilient, transgressive, and exuberant bodies that cannot be placed or contained.
