We Are Not Going Back — Zenith Gallery

September 4, 2024

Gavin Sewell is showing new work in We Are Not Going Back, a Kamala Harris themed exhibit at Zenith Gallery running from September 20 – October 12, 2024 with opening receptions and artist talks on Friday, Sept 20, 4-8 PM & Saturday, Sept 21, 2-6 PM.

Sewell’s contributions to this show are digital collages on fine paper with hand drawn mixed-media elements. Unique works from suites of multiples, these pieces allude to the daily history of social and political struggle that made possible the moment when a woman of color can run for President of the United States on a major party ticket. Silhouettes of blank white suggest the open possibilities for the future of a new administration charting its own course through history. The artist is also creating custom made pieces from this series for private collectors on a commission basis — interested parties can contact the studio directly.

Other artist participating in this exhibit include Doba Afolabi, Amy Bandel, Mitzi Bernard, Holly Boruck, William Buchanan, F. Lennox Campello, Diane Dompka, Cheryl Elmo, Sofia Gawer, David Hubbard, Mihira Karra, Michela Mansuino, Nancy Nesvet, Helen Silberminz, Paula Stern, Bradley Stevens, Marcie Wolf-Hubbard, and Luther Wright.
