Jeremy Bell: Utopian Blackness -Northwest African American Museum [temporary exhibit]

The exhibition titled Jeremy Bell: Utopian Blackness, shared with the Northwest African American Museum an experience that brought a generational visual discussion to the soul of the entire community. Jeremy Bell: Utopian Blackness was a uniquely crafted exhibit of predominantly loaned work from an inspired cohort of patrons and supporters that uniformly applaud the work of the young and humble artist. The visual presentation of paintings, drawing and mixed media compositions delivered an introspective presentation regarding the artist’s profound desire for African Americans to be allowed to just “be” themselves— a sentiment felt in a utopic society; one without proverbial societal masks or filters. The two dimensional body of work pricked the mind and emotion of its viewers ushering its audience into a place of reflection and reaction to the visual discovery of Jeremy Bell’s—Utopian Blackness.
