Women of Color Working With Color<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Thursday, January 26, 2017<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWomen of Color Working With Color,\u201d the University of Maryland Eastern Shore’s Black History Month Exhibit, opens Thursday, Feb. 2 with a reception from 4 to 6 p.m. in the Mosely Gallery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs the most immediate of the art elements, color powerfully impacts the viewer’s emotions,\u201d said Susan Holt, Mosely Gallery Director.  \u201cThe exhibition explores ways that women of color use this commanding art element to convey meaning that is relevant to contemporary sensibilities of race, gender and subjectivity.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The show features abstract paintings with collage by Diantha Mitchell of Salisbury along with artwork by New Yorker Stephanie Kiah, great-granddaughter of the late Thomas Kiah, the university’s 5th and longest-serving leader. Both will attend the gallery opening, Holt said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kiah’s contemporary portraits of women of color, \u201cResting Angel,\u201d \u201cLemonade Girl\u201d and \u201cAmerican Nightmare,\u201d will be on display through March 16 along with pieces by other female, African-American artists.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fellow New York artists Olaitan Callender-Scott and Theresa Chromati join the show with quilts and abstract figurative paintings, respectively.  Washington, D.C.-based Ada Pinkston \u201cdoes unique performance art documented with photographs and video,\u201d Holt said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Maya Freelon Asante of North Carolina, presents a lecture Feb. 7, at 4:30 p.m. in the Frederick Douglass Library on her mixed media pieces that include collages and installations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Events at the Mosely Gallery, located in the Thomas\/Briggs Arts and Technology Center at UMES, are free.  The gallery is open Monday through Friday, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.  Call 410-651-7770 for groups or visit www.moselygallery.com<\/a> for more information.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
