As a New York-based Mississippi Band of Choctaw and Cherokee artist, Jeffrey Gibson merges aspects of Native American visual culture with allusions to contemporary geometric abstraction. The artist references the colors and patterns of nineteenth century painted rawhide containers, commonly called parfleche, which are associated with particular Native communities in the Plateau, Plains, and Great Basin regions.

By intermingling these designs with a style linked to celebrated, non-Native artists such as Frank Stella and Joseph Albers, Migration contests an American art history that overlooks Native American art.

Malik and Marquis features twin boys whom artist Alfred Conteh met while navigating the city of Atlanta. Part of his ongoing series entitled Two Fronts, the artist records the names and faces of Black Americans living in the Deep South through this large-scale painting.

According to Conteh, his portraits serve as “reminders to everyone who looks at them . . . [of] the reality of Black folks in this country right now.”
