TAJ MATUMBI: A SPIEL - PAUL R JONES MUSEUM in Tuscaloosa, Alabama
March 7 - May 2, 2025
opening reception Friday, March 7 (5-8pm)

In recent paintings, I blend formal abstraction with poorly rendered figures that recall my primary school days - an intentionally naive and self-taught drawing approach that allows my subject matter to more fluidly inhabit both real and imagined worlds.”

There is just something tragic about growing up, and no one is spared the harsh truths. Before you know it, you can’t remember what it was like wandering down trails that led to nothing or holding your breath underwater. Memory is a push/pull and so is painting alongside art history.

LIZA BUTTS: A SPECTRUM OF ECHOES
August 23 - October 18, 2024
Fantastical landscapes are depicted moving, shifting, and glowing. Tangled spaces that are seemingly untraversable bloom and glisten with vibrancy and energy.
