Repercussions II: Recent Work by Alicia Henry

Repercussions II: Recent Work by Alicia Henry

Presented by Herron Galleries at Herron School of Art and Design

Henry’s portraits and figures can be comical and dark at the same time; many are rooted in traditions ranging from clowning to blackface, the deeply racist and painful practice of white minstrel performers, as well as her own observations, both personal and public. Her art becomes a vehicle for her witness—to see and to be seen, to reveal and to represent the invisible.

Henry holds an MFA from Yale University and a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is an associate professor of art at Fisk University, a historically black institution of higher learning in Nashville, Tenn.

Repercussions II will remain on view in the Marsh Gallery until March 13.

A virtual reception with the exhibiting artists will take place on Zoom from 6:30 to 8 p.m. Feb. 3. To participate, register in advance online or watch the livestream at facebook.com/HerronGalleries.
