Luis De Jesus Los Angeles is very pleased to announce SOUL RECORDINGS, a group exhibition featuring works by Lex Brown, Caitlin Cherry, Ebony G. Patterson, Deborah Roberts, Paul Anthony Smith, Edra Soto, Lisa C. Soto, and Peter Williams to be presented from February 17 through March 24, 2018. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, February 17th, from 5:00 to 8:00 pm. The exhibition is accompanied by an essay written by independent curator Jill Moniz, PhD.
At a time when people across the globe feel increasing discontent and there is great unease about the future, the artists in SOUL RECORDINGS present works that address a number of social and political issues underlying some of these conditions, offering personal responses filled with poignancy, confidence, strength, and resilience. Culled from a multinational and cross-generational landscape, these artists explore the roots and context that shape their work through a broad range of perspectives and media. In the process, they share their own stories, reclaim appropriated culture, and forge a path through empathy and resistance. For them, the personal is political. SOUL RECORDINGS challenges us to contemplate difficult questions—and these artists invite us to listen closely to their multivalent answers.
