Derrick Adams is an American artist born in Baltimore in 1970 who works across painting, collage, sculpture, performance and digital media. He studied at Pratt Institute and earned an MFA from Columbia University, grounding his practice in both fine art and critical theory. His vibrant mixed media pieces celebrate Black joy, leisure and self fashioning, presenting everyday life as a site of cultural richness and resistance.

Adams layers acrylic, fabric, paper and found objects to build portraits and domestic scenes that pulse with pattern and colour. Flat planes of emerald, fuchsia and gold echo African textiles while recalling the geometric language of early modern abstraction. The work often incorporates hair weaves, clothing labels and magazine cutouts, turning consumer debris into signifiers of identity and aspiration. Recurring motifs include crowns, luxury bags and television static, suggesting that visibility and representation are constant negotiations.

Performance remains central to his output.

In 2018 he staged “We Came to Party and Plan” at the Brooklyn Museum, transforming the space into a disco where archival footage of 1970s Black dance shows played alongside live DJs, linking celebration to community organising. Recent exhibitions include “Where I’m From” at the Hudson River Museum and “Motion” at Luxembourg and Dayan, New York, while his collage “Style Variation #25” entered the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art.

When he is not in the studio, Adams mentors young artists and curates pop culture archives, believing that creativity is a collective resource. By merging celebration with critique, he invites viewers to recognise that joy itself is a radical act.

Nina Chanel Abney is an American artist born in Harvey Illinois in 1982 who now lives and works in New York. She earned her BFA from Augustana College in 2004 and her MFA from Parsons School of Design in 2006. Abney is celebrated for large scale paintings that merge representation with abstraction to mirror the frantic pace of contemporary life. Her canvases burst with bold color blocky figures and disjointed narratives that address race celebrity religion politics sex and art history without offering tidy resolutions. Instead she compresses time space and identity creating scenes where information overload feels both chaotic and spontaneously ordered.

Influenced by Matisse the cubists and Harlem Renaissance painters Abney updates historical modes of visual storytelling for the internet age. Her breakthrough came with the 2007 diptych Class of 2007 which portrayed herself as a police officer and her white classmates as inmates a work now in the Rubell Collection. She was the youngest artist included in the touring exhibition 30 Americans and has since mounted major solo shows at the Nasher Museum ICA Miami and Palais de Tokyo. Public commissions include a basketball court mural and a forthcoming facade at Lincoln Center. Whether working on canvas paper or an outdoor wall Abney invites viewers to confront systemic injustice while savoring the seductive power of color and pattern.

__________________________ 

Yoko Ono, born 1933 in Tokyo, is a conceptual artist, musician, and peace activist whose quiet instructions have echoed loudly across avant garde art and pop culture for six decades. Trained in philosophy and music, she broke into New York’s early '60s scene with Instruction Paintings texts that asked viewers to "light a match and watch till it goes out" and Cut Piece, a 1964 performance where audience members snipped away her clothes, exposing vulnerability and power.

Her 1966 London show introduced her to John Lennon; their collaborations Bed-Ins, War Is Over! billboards married Fluxus wit to mass media reach, turning honeymoon into protest and pop songs into manifestos. Ono’s solo recordings pushed boundaries of voice and noise: Fly (1971) layers primal screams over proto-disco grooves, influencing punk and new wave feminists.

Dismissed by critics as “the woman who broke up the Beatles,” she persisted, amassing a discography of 20 studio albums, Grammy nominated dance remixes, and 18 Billboard No. 1 hits. Visual work evolved into site-specific Wish Trees, mirrored Sky installations, and the 2022 Imagine tower in Berlin, inviting public participation as both medium and message.

Honoured with Venice Biennale’s Golden Lion (2009), Ono continues to tweet daily haiku like aphorisms to millions. At 91 she remains the consummate catalyst: whispering imperatives Breathe, Dream, Remember that turn spectators into co-authors of art, love and revolution.
