Clarence Heyward: UNSEEN, from the Contemporary Art Museum, Raleigh, NC
Opening Reception at Turner Carroll, Friday, June 23, 5–7 pm
One of our breakout artists of 2022 will be coming to Turner Carroll Gallery for his inaugural solo exhibition in Santa Fe, Clarence Heyward. Throughout 2022 we had difficulty keeping Clarence’s stunning paintings for more than a day or two before a collector took an interest and purchased a piece. Having the works from his solo exhibition at CAM Raleigh travel to the gallery represents a rare opportunity to see and collect the work of this rising star. UNSEEN is accompanied by a soundscape and takes the viewer on a visual journey of what would happen to his family if he became one of the daily casualties of black men in America being killed. This powerful exhibition is not to be missed. Heyward’s paintings were collected by multiple museums before he was ever represented by a gallery, and Turner Carroll is proud to be his first representative.

Renaissance of Brooklyn: History is Present uses Charlotte’s historic Brooklyn neighborhood as a reference point to acknowledge the impact of erased and forgotten African-American communities. These timeless people; as author Toni Morrison calls them are ancestors beyond our immediate families who influence our present day reality. From the late 1800s to the early 1960s, Brooklyn was a city within a city that provided opportunities and sanctuary in a segregated South. The multigenerational group of contemporary artists in Renaissance of Brooklyn through their work portray their lived experiences and perspectives as African-American women and men living in the South. They are reclaiming space in the history of and vision for North Carolina.
Renaissance of Brooklyn also recognizes the special relationship between Brooklyn, New York and the Brooklyn community in Charlotte that was forged during the “Great Migration” of African-Americans from the South in the early 20th century. These two cities represent the millions of Black American families who consequently have Northern and Southern branches.

Portraiture has long been an effective mode of artistic expression. A portrait is more than a mere rendering of an individual or group of people, and often serves as a revealing window onto the sitters’ individuality. Portraits can also be political, poignant and powerful means of representing the figure to reveal insight into the human condition. For some artists, creating portraits can be a practical and personal way to fashion identity.
The eleven recently acquired works included here represent a broad range of stylistic and conceptual approaches to rendering portraits. Ming Smith uses the camera to establish a forthright and self-reflexive gaze, while Clarence Heyward turns his back to us as a way to universalize his experience. Others such as Genesis Tremaine and Tunji Adeyeni-Jones distort and abstract the figure to evoke a psychological and physical dynamism. These diverse artistic strategies reveal portraiture’s true power: its ability to capture the nuances and expansiveness of one’s subjectivity.
This exhibition is organized by Lauren Haynes, former Patsy R. and Raymond D. Nasher Senior Curator of Contemporary Art and Curatorial Assistant Julianne Miao, with research support by Caroline Carey, A.B.’22.

For Lump’s latest group exhibition, artist/curator William Paul Thomas asked artists, “If you attained a surplus of something that you greatly desired, would you flaunt it, share it, hoard it, hide it, or spoil it?” This was the launch point for OPULENCE DECADENCE, which, starting Friday, welcomes an entirely new batch of artists to Lump, each of whom made new work specifically for the show. It’s a disconcerting look at the severe imbalance of wealth and equity across the globe, that offers moments of rare beauty, buoyant humor, and unwavering critique.
