The Blaffer Art Museum is proud to present the exhibition Standing In by Jamaica-born, New York-based artist Paul Anthony Smith who makes photo-based works that push back against the medium’s inherently predatory dimensions while simultaneously introducing a network of added layers to navigate.

Martinez
(they/them/their)
creates
immersive,
spellbinding
paintings
that
explore
ideas
of
place,
climate,
landscape,
and
personhood

unconventional
methods
of
applying
and
interlaying
various
materials,
textures,
and
hues
on
canvas.
Their

features
viscerally

spatial
atmospheres
created
with
physical
ingredients
like
fabric
rags,
recycled
clothing,
and
crushed
stone
that

visual
intersections
of

For over a decade, Jacolby Satterwhite has used 3D animation, sculpture, performance, painting, and photography to create fantastical, labyrinthine universes. Exploring the themes of public space, the body, ritual, and community, Satterwhite draws from an extensive set of references guided by queer theory, Modernist tropes, and video game languages to challenge conventions of Western art through a personal and political lens. An equally significant influence is his late mother, Patricia Satterwhite, who lived with schizophrenia and made ethereal vocal recordings as well as drawings and diagrams for visionary household products throughout Satterwhite’s childhood. His mother’s work often serves as the source material within a decidedly complex structure of memory and mythology.
