Marc Andre
Banned from the Gallery
November 17 - December 17
Solo Exhibition
EXHIBITION DESCRIPTION
Banned from the Gallery is an allegory of Marc Andre's international experiences. Weaved throughout the works are inspirations from his youth when he made pilgrimages to Equatorial Guinea and Benin. Marc imports African masks, movement and vibrant colors into each painting.
From his years in America and France, Marc learned resilience to the barriers set in place for him. Whether it was fashion, visual art or music, the renaissance artist would break into the industry...
"By any means necessary."
Marc's undying faith in his instinct, regardless of access, is the essence of Banned from the Gallery, not to mention the very reason that he was literally banned from the gallery for a time.
Marc aims to break through glass ceilings while leaving behind anonymous abstractions easily reflective of the diasporic viewership he hopes to inspire.
