'Intersections', a sculptural installation designed by Anila Quayyum Agha until Dec. 6. It effectively manipulates the gallery space, engages the visitors and provides a window into the mind of the artist. Yet it lacks context, appropriates the best of Moorish art, and ultimately turns a social critique into a mere illustration of exclusion. The design and detail of the piece is incredible, the effect visceral, and despite its contextual shortcomings it deserves to be experienced. Each side of…

A new artistic movement that materialized in the late 19th century was given the name impressionism. One of the founders of the French impressionist movement was Claude Monet. Impressionists depict in their art what they see and feel at that very moment. It is a painting style that concentrates on the general impression made by a scene or an object.

I am presenting today is Romare Bearden. Due to the fact, he didn’t learned new techniques and mediums as an artist, but by his life personal experiences. Many of his work had a eye connection in the middle of one’s point of view, many types of geometric shapes, and had an linear and semi-abstract style (Patchwork Quilt). He also had struggled with two artistic sides of himself: his background as “a student of literature and of artistic traditions, and being a black human being involves very…

Cities worldwide containing enormous skyscrapers, bustling streets, and breathtaking views has captured artists attention and been the focal point of thousands of art pieces.
