Spring 2022, “The Subversive Beauty of Fallen Fruit” “The artists are unabashed maximalists who love color and invoking the senses, but once they seduce with beauty, they invite viewers down paths that consider issues of colonialism and the natural world, class, race, gender, and religion.” – SHIRLEY ALEXANDRA WATTS
