Some of my favorites from the VIP Preview and Opening Night of Expo Chicago on Thursday. The art fair is now open to the public!

2. Monica Ikegwu, Jessica and Jazz, Galerie Myrtis.

3. After viewing the above booth, I heard someone shout, "JENNY?!" and it was my friend Krystal Boney, pictured here with Manolo Valdés, Helene I - Gustav Klimt Judith, bogéna galerie. We hadn't seen each other in 5 years! And we ended up walking the entire fair together (even though she'd gotten there earlier and had seen most of it already) and it was so great. <3 Running into friends is always the best part about Expo!

The Baltimore Museum of Art had an amazing exhibit that celebrates hip hop and contemporary black art. 😍✊🏾

The art pieces celebrates our culture through photography, sculpture, fashion, and videos. It was inspiring and creative! The above pics are some of my favorites that I saw.

Some of the art had a cross between old Chinese brush paintings and black accents which was cool. It was also great seeing a painting from Monica Ikegwu, who is a modern-contemporary oil painter who captures light on black skin perfectly.

More black people need to explore art museums! 🗣️ It was great seeing so many of us here.

Monica Ikegwu’s “We’ve Always Been Here” at Band of Vices.

Opening on Saturday, September 14th, 2019 at Band of Vices Gallery in Los Angeles, California is artist Monica Ikegwu’s solo exhibition, “We’ve Always Been Here.”

Issues of identity, power, societal ideas, narrative and the history of art are some of the themes that surface in Ikegwu’s work along with a youthful sense of joie de vivre, confidence and self-assuredness are hallmark themes which emerge in her portraiture. She uses art as a tool to elevate the visibility of her African American subjects. As an emerging artist, her sensibility is being created and developing before our very eyes. There is evidence of a thoughtful and brilliant mind at work, from the title of her show alone, one that is incredibly prescient and knowing, “We’ve Always Been Here.”

The exhibition will be on view until October 12th, 2019.
