Radical Naturalism – Kevin Brisco: Migratory Roots

Exhibition Dates:

January 24 – August 6, 2023
Louise Hauss and David Brent Miller Audubon Galleries

In 11 paintings created over the last three years, the Memphis-born artist examines the dubious nature of belonging and home for African Americans in his Blue Sky Series. The environments he creates with human and plant life subjects convey a shared space, not a shared experience. Brisco’s selection of companion Audubon etchings addresses time’s fluidity the effect over the years on an art object and our understanding of the 19th-century artist.

Considering homophones roots and routes, Kevin Brisco: Migratory Roots explores shared movements, journeys over time and the network that exists among all living things.

The artist reminds us of this: no two moments or concepts are identical nor experienced the same.
