"Truth and Consequences

NoneSuch Space presents "Truth and Consequences," an exhibition of powerful collage and assemblage works by Fremont artist Kamal Al Mansour. In this solo show Al Mansour brings a fresh perspective to the examination of identity, culture and history by creating art of astonishing aesthetic integrity and searing moral power. "Truth and Consequences" features work based on socio-political, religious and cultural themes. These themes originate in historical events and personages that continue to resonate in contemporary culture. Al Mansour’s technically precise, realistic figurative depictions are influenced by master draftsmen Charles White and Richard Wyatt. His use of assemblage/collage is partly influenced by the Los Angeles assemblage movement of the 1960s and 70’s, in which Black artists were at the center.
Exhibition opens February 4th, with artist receptions on February 6th and March 6th (6 - 10 p.m.)
