MoAD is pleased to present “!!!!!,” a new body of work by acclaimed British visual artist and painter Rachel Jones. Curated by Erin Jenoa Gilbert, “!!!!!” premiers a new series of vivid oil pastel landscapes which continue Jones’ ongoing exploration into Black interiority and personhood. Following solo museum exhibitions in the U.K. and China, this is the first solo museum exhibition for Jones in the United States. In this new body of work, Jones remixes her usual lexicon of aesthetics to create complex images that oscillate between the figurative and abstract. Inspired by the poetics of Black writers and the sonic and visual languages of cartoons, these compositions demonstrate masterful mark making that render images that are both seen and heard.
