David Leggett will exhibit new paintings focused on afro futurism and afro pop. Leggett’s work references cultural and personal relationships and attempts to tackle the many contradictions involved in the human experience. Leggett syas, “The artwork I make is about the experience of being present in the world. I want us all to be more aware of one another and the lives that we lead.” David Leggett received his MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007 and his BFA from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2003.
Kristina Paabus will exhibit a site-specific installation incorporating new drawings and sculptures. Paabus’ creates process oriented work through developed systems which investigate the fact, fiction, and the murky in between. Paabus states, “My hybrid spatial conversations elaborate on constructions that allow us to interact with, and gain control over, our surroundings.” Kristina Paabus received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2009 and her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design.
