Exhibited artists do not waver from potent and pertinent sociopolitical statements in their respective solo presentations. Peterson Kamwathi (ARTLabAfrica, Nairobi) reveals his latest series Positions, large-scale works on paper in reaction to global religious conflict and exacerbated by the 2013 Westgate Mall attack in Nairobi; current international artist-in-residence at The NARS Foundation of Art (NYC) Ida Kvetny (Galleri Christoffer Egelund, Copenhagen) critiques globalization and deforestation within intensely psychedelic painted worlds; Travis Somerville (beta pictoris gallery, Birmingham, AL), subject of 2013 solo exhibition Rebirth of a Nation at Crocker Art Museum (Sacramento, CA), mounts a bracing mixed-media installation challenging post-racial American society by blending his activist upbringing with semiotics of historical racism in the United States repositioned as current national myopia; while Maïmouna Guerresi (MARIANE IBRAHIM, Seattle), participant in multiple DAK'ART and Venice Biennales, explores motherhood, multiethnic spirituality, and the marginalization of women in Islamic Africa through large-scale photography, sculpture, and video installation; and Rudy Shepherd (Mixed Greens, New York), whose current activities include traveling museum group exhibition When the Stars Begin to Fall: Imagination and the American South, channels criminals and victims as filtered through mass media in a provocative suite 'straight from the headlines' and rendered in watercolor, balanced by ceramic Healing Devices.
