SUMMARY:Qrcky: Bereft of Color
DESCRIPTION:* This exhibition runs Jan. 31–Mar. 7\, with a public reception on Sun.\, Feb. 1. * \n\n\n\nQrcky’s artistic endeavors delve into the interplay between the sensibilities of the Black diaspora and the urban landscapes they inhabit. While the artist draws inspiration from esteemed artists such as Kara Walker and Jean-Michel Basquiat\, Qrcky also profoundly influences the surrounding world. Qrcky is captivated by the sensations of movement\, the deconstruction and reassembly of surfaces\, and the intricate processes of forgetting and remembering that shape our collective consciousness. The artist’s creations profoundly reflect his identity\, heritage\, and the encompassing tapestry of culture that envelops him.
