What Is Seen
On View August 30 - October 4, 2024
Girls’ Club Collection presents What is Seen, an exhibition featuring 15 emerging artists curated by Tayina Deravile. This selection from the collection of Francie Bishop Good and David Horvitz examines the art of portraiture in diverse visual mediums, highlighting the significance of the figure and the face as tools for expression.
Portraiture serves as a conduit for insight into the diversity of identity. The face and the figure embody the nuances of the individuals they portray, and race, gender, body image, personality, and emotion expand on the physical likeness. Portraits challenge traditional notions of beauty, capture culture, and confront social context. They provide a powerful tool for representation.
What is Seen primarily showcases recent acquisitions in the Girls’ Club collection, providing an intimate glimpse into varied expressions of personal narratives. Each artwork offers unique perspectives and expands on the nuances of identity and the multifaceted human experience, inviting viewers to recognize themselves in others.
This exhibition features Karla Caprali, Moira Holohan, Ashley Lindo, Kandy G Lopez, Adriana Lozano, Jared McGriff, Rebecca Morgan, Shawna Moulton, Jorge Pantoja, Isabella Di Sclafani, Dimithry Victor, Michelle Weinberg and Judy Mannarino, Paula Wilson, and Caroline Zhang.
This exhibit is free and open to the public.
