i made several paintings for this show that draw energy from my ancestry and fellow artists who are trying to reclaim the whitewashed birth of Modernism/Fauvism/Dada/etc. accompanying all that are objects made of ceramic and also hybrids of what I can best describe as soft/hard sculpture installations that vibrate to the phrasing David Hammons used in 1986 to explain why he loves how black people make things.
Faith Icecold (b. 1989) was born in New York state and currently lives and works in Queens, NY. Recent exhibitions include Jerry Bruckheimer Films at SENSEI Gallery, New York, NY, Miami at Sunset Drive Gallery, Miami, FL.
