Devan Shimoyama works in portraiture, creating works that draw inspiration from the narratives of classical mythology and drama, as well as from pop culture imagery. Shimoyama often focuses on the Black, queer male figure, reframing and reimagining terms of representation. While his primary medium is painting, Shimoyama also works in collage, photography, and installation––sometimes all together––using bold, ecstatic aesthetics to imbue images of himself and others with a kind of surreal and otherworldly magic. Shimoyama often bases his compositions on photographs or on major works of Western art history, imbuing them with a bright, saturated palette and a dynamic, contemporary energy. He uses different materials to add texture and luminosity to his canvases––including glitter, rhinestones, sequins, costume jewelry, and metallic paint––which also allude to camp, drag, and club aesthetics.

Chromati has garnered critical and institutional attention for figurative paintings that are shaped by fragmented forms of desire and constant motion. Bursts of complex color, sensual protrusions, and texture deploy abstraction to explore various contemporary realities of black woman. These bodies are at once imaginative, bordering on grotesque, and celebratory as they convey a variety of emotional and spiritual states of being. Chromati was born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, attended the Pratt Institute, and is now based in New York City. Recently, her work was on view at The Baltimore Museum of Art, Pérez Art Museum Miami, and The Moscow Museum of Modern Art, and The Delaware Contemporary. She has been featured in The New York Times, i-D, Interview Magazine, Juxtapoz, Architectural Digest, and Vogue.

In a New York Times review of her retrospective, Holland Cotter wrote, “Ms. Weems is what she has always been, a superb image maker and a moral force, focused and irrepressible. “Weems has participated in numerous solo and group exhibitions at major national and international museums including the Metropolitan Museum of Art, The Frist Center for Visual Art, Solomon Guggenheim Museum in New York, and the Centro Andaluz de Arte Contemporáneo in Seville, Spain.

Jenny Holzer is an American Conceptual artist best known for her text-based public art projects. Exploring how language is used both as a form of communication and as a means of concealment and control, Holzer has employed a variety of media throughout her career, including large-scale projections, LED displays, T-shirts, and posters. “I used language because I wanted to offer content that people—not necessarily art people—could understand,” she explained. Born on July 29, 1950 in Gallipolis, OH, Holzer received her BFA from Ohio University in 1972 and her MFA from the Rhode Island School of Design in 1975. Her popular series Truisms began in 1977, when she started pasting ambiguous quotes such as “ABUSE OF POWER COMES AS NO SURPRISE” and “PROTECT ME FROM WHAT I WANT” throughout New York, while enrolled in the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program.

Ann Hamilton is a visual artist internationally recognized for her large-scale multimedia installations, public projects, and performance collaborations. Responsive to the contingencies of the sites where she works, her recurring forms—cloth, texts spoken and written, animals, and people suspended or in motion—immerse viewers in an atmosphere both visceral and literary, individual and collective, animate and inanimate, silent and spoken. Noted for a dense accumulation of materials, her ephemeral environments respond to the architectural presence and social history of their sites. Whether inhabiting a building four stories high or confined to the surface of a thimble, the genesis of Hamilton’s art extends outwards from the primary projections of the hand and mouth. Her attention to the uttering of a sound or the shaping of a word with the hand places language and text at the tactile and metaphoric center of her installations. To enter their liminality is to be drawn equally into the sensory and linguistic capacities of comprehension that construct our faculties of memory, reason and imagination.
Genvieve Gaignard (b. 1981, Orange, Massachusetts; lives and works in Los Angeles) received her MFA in Photography at Yale University, New Haven, Connecticut, and her BFA in Photography at Massachusetts College of Art, Boston.

A newly commissioned work of Gaignard’s was included in the Prospect.4 Triennial, The Lotus in Spite of the Swamp, in New Orleans in 2017. Her work has been reviewed in The New York Times, The New Yorker, W Magazine, The Los Angeles Times, and Artforum, among others.

Born and raised in the San Gabriel Valley, Patrick Martinez’s L.A. suburban upbringing and his diverse cultural background (Filipino, Mexican and Native American), provided him with a unique lens through which he interprets his surroundings. Influenced by the Hip Hop movement, Martinez cultivated his art practice through graffiti, which later led him to the Art Center College of Design, where he earned a BFA with honors in 2005. Through his facility with a wide variety of media(painting, neon, ceramic and sculpture), Martinez colorfully scrutinizes otherwise everyday realities of suburban and urban life in L.A. with humor, sensitivity and wit. Patrick Martinez, (b. 1980 Pasadena, CA) earned his BFA with honors from Art Center College of Design in 2005.

Gerald Lovell is an Atlanta-based artist who has gained nationwide recognition for his distinctive style of figurative painting. Lovell’s artistic practice focuses on his own life as a means of self-discovery and self-articulation. The subjects of his vivid portraits are moments from his own life, captured in semi-candid photographs and then memorialized on canvas. Each portrait thoughtfully reflects details and expressions that create an intimate view into the lives of his subjects and Lovell’s own urban millennial experience. One of the elements that defines Lovell’s unique aesthetic style is his bold, expressive layering of paint. Background elements rendered in exaggerated flatness contrast with focal points are emphasized through thick and mottled paint. Lovell’s heavy application of the impasto painting style translates his subjects into three-dimensional figures within a flat canvas.
Lovell has strong ties to the Atlanta art community and has displayed work at local galleries including MurMur, The Gallery | Wish, Hammonds House Museum, Mason Fine Art, and Notch8 Gallery.
Sadie Barnett is an important emerging voice within the American arts landscape. Based in Oakland, Barnette mines the everyday to create works across mediums, including drawing, photography, sculpture, and installation that can make the mundane appear transcendent and reveal hidden and obscured histories. Barnette is becoming best known for her immersive installations that reimagine domestic and public spaces into spectacular, vibrant places for people to gather –– living rooms and bars conjured from metallic vinyl, shades of pink, gold finishes, and sparkling surfaces. Using pop aesthetics, the artist offers a reprieve from our day – to – day lives, literalizing and constructing an imaginative space of escape. In her two – and three – dimensional works, the artist employs found objects and often sources material from family archives –– including the 500 – page FBI surveillance file kept on her father, who founded the Compton chapter of the Black Panther Party in 1968.
Barbara Kruger is an American Conceptual artist known for her combination of type and image that conveys a direct feminist cultural critique. Her works examine stereotypes and the behaviors of consumerism with text layered over mass-media images. Rendered with black-and-white, red accented, Futura Bold Oblique font, inspired by the Constructivist Alexander Rodechenko, her works offer up short phrases such as “Thinking of You,” “You are a captive audience,” and “I shop therefore I am.” Like multimedia artist Jenny Holzer, Kruger uses language to broadcast her ideas in a myriad of ways, including prints, T-shirts, posters, photographs, electronic signs, and billboards. “I’m fascinated with the difference between supposedly private and supposedly public and I try to engage the issue of what it means to live in a society that’s seemingly shock-proof, yet still is compelled to exercise secrecy,” she explained of her work.
