__________________________
is a self-taught multi-disciplinary Nigerian artist and mixed media painter, utilizing acrylic and charcoal to create his sizable works. Focusing predominantly on realism with elements of abstraction, his works are descriptive, not narrative, driven by African stories and symbolism. His work delves into the complexities of toxic masculinity and highlights the challenges immigrants face. Mayowa pushes back on societal norms and gender roles, provoking viewers to consider their relationship to social issues. He hopes that through his works he can promote inclusivity and help men embrace their femininity. In 2024, Mayowa exhibited a solo exhibition at the Southampton African American Museum, Southampton, NY; and has also been featured in the Museum of Science & Industry, Chicago, USA; The African American Museum, Dallas; The Whatcom Museum, Bellingham, WA; and galleries across the US, Canada, and London.
__________________________
is a trans and queer interdisciplinary artist from North Carolina living and working in Brooklyn, New York.
In Carter’s work, he researches queer and trans theory and expresses his findings in woven sculpture, tapestry, and installation. He’s interested in how transness breaks what we think is fixed, and what can form in the openings of those breaks. He suggests what can form is the trans supernatural- something beyond our current reality, like the collapse of time, a re-understanding of ghosts, or a society restructured around communal care. He is the curator of DREAM ARCHIVES at Eleventh Hour Art.
DREAM ARCHIVES is open through December 24th at Eleventh Hour Art at 61 Atlantic Avenue, Brooklyn, New York 11201.
