Tilton Gallery opens a solo exhibition of new sculpture by Kennedy Yanko
Kennedy Yanko, Making Light, September 2020. Paint skin, metal, painted wire, 64 x 58 x 21 inches (163 x 147 x 53 cm).
NEW YORK, NY
.-Tilton Gallery is presenting a solo exhibition of new sculpture by Kennedy Yanko, from April 6th to May 15th, 2021.
Kennedy Yanko continues her ongoing investigation into the combination of the seemingly incongruous materials of metal and paint skins to create voluptuous and unexpected sculptural forms. Salvaged metal, crushed or bent into new forms, is juxtaposed with lushly colored soft-appearing paint skins formulated by the artist to flow organically around or through the harder metal forms, at times seeming to pour out of this less pliant element.

SARASOTA, Fla. (AP) John Sims creates provocative multimedia and performance works that confront “Confederate iconography as symbols of visual terrorism and white supremacy in the context of African American culture.”
That project, called Recoloration Proclamation, has been the Sarasota-based artist, writer and activist’s primary mission for 20 years.
It began when the Detroit native moved to Sarasota to teach visual mathematics at the Ringling College of Art and Design. He was stunned by the Confederate flags and memorials he saw in town. Sims inspired a national pushback on Confederate symbols.
