Heart of heart includes recent and new works created for the exhibition that embody the cross-generational resurgence in figurative painting as a mode of exploring identity, cultural histories, and personal experiences. Artists include: Derrick Adams Gareth Cadwallader Jordan Casteel Will Cotton Ann Craven Somaya Critchlow Njideka Akunyili Crosby Anthony Cudahy John Currin Cynthia Daignault TM Davy Peter Doig Carroll Dunham Louis Fratino Jay Lynn Gomez Jenna Gribbon Caleb Hahne Sally J.

Illustratively, the “heart of heart” is akin to a castle’s keep, an innermost stronghold and safeguard from the outside world. ⚡️#heartofheart
