Mindy Solomon Gallery
March 7-April 18
- Jack Kabangu: I Have No Body, I Am Somebody
Featuring a series of portraits rendered in his iconic, self-taught style, Kabangu introduces a dynamic and psychologically charged visual language. His figures — elongated, introspective, and subtly fragmented — exist in spaces that feel both intimate and unsettled, mirroring the layered nature of identity and displacement.'
- Sydnie Jimenez: Stars in Your Eyes
The exhibition title, Stars in Your Eyes, serves as a linguistic pivot. It evokes the shimmering energy of passion and ambition while simultaneously nodding to the disorienting sensation of "seeing stars” — the dazed confusion that often follows a blow to the senses. For Jimenez, the eyes are not merely anatomical; they are the "windows to the soul" and the primary vessels for our perception of the universe.
