About the Artist

Raphael comes from Philadelphia art royalty and along with his siblings was considered an art prodigy from a very early age. With an extremely impactful career as an oil painter and pen and ink artist already secure, Tiberino has branched out into teaching and curating exhibitions.

Raphael Tiberino was born in Philadelphia in 1969 the son of iconic Philadelphia artists Joseph Tiberino and Ellen Powell Tiberino. The Tiberinos created artistic gathering spaces, such as The Bacchanal and the Ellen Powell Tiberino Museum, which have helped to define Philadelphia's art scene for decades.

Raphael started painting at the age of four. The style of his most recent works can be traced back to his love of comics as a child. Raphael Tiberino describes his work as figurative impressionism. He graduated from the High School of Creative and Performing Arts with the fine arts major. He then continued his mother's legacy, graduating from the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in 1991. Later, Tiberino was a founding member of the subculture gallery in Nolita.

Tiberino has been involved in countless solo and group shows including the iconic First in the Heart is the Dream show at the Philadelphia Art Alliance and Silent Voices Loud Echoes at the African American museum in Philadelphia.

Tiberino is by far one of the most sophisticated people we have ever met. He is also one of the most engaging, approachable and down to earth, as demonstrated by his popularity among his loyal following of art students at Rush Arts Philadelphia.

Visiting Raphael Tiberino at his home in Powelton village offers one entree into his personality and his pedigree as an fine artist. Raph lives in an artist residency at the Tiberino Museum which is probably one of the coolest places to live imaginable for any artist. He can often be found on the front porch painting in the sunlight and is quick with offers of the finest wine, olives and cheeses.

Ainsley Burrows: Astonishing the Gods

October 9th, 2022

Throughout his career, Burrows has coined terms such as "Rakitism" and "String Theory" to continue to push his practice. Rakitism explores the 4th dimension in paintings such as Minotaur (2021). "These paintings are characterized by bright colors and soft shadows that often include abstract figures whose movements and features are choppy, creating the perception that we’re seeing them at different moments in time from various perspectives," says Burrows.

About the Artist

Ainsley Burrows (b. 1974 in Kingston, Jamaica; based in Brooklyn, NY and Baltimore, MD) is a multidisciplinary artist who explores untold stories and unspoken emotions. He is a poet, musician, and performer, as well as a painter, and his different creative pursuits influence each other. Raised in Kingston, Jamaica and Brooklyn, NY, Burrows paints with his upbringing in the foreground, referencing the many lessons and stories, historical figures and events, and movements and diasporas that have shaped his perspective.

Kester Messan: Significant Other

About the Artist

Kester Messan (b. 1998, Lomé, Togo) is a visual artist and writer. He holds a BA in Studio Art from Williams College and is an incoming MFA candidate at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Messan’s practice is born out of observation, or sometimes even, an obsession, over the words, colors, materials, and gestures that are experienced in the day-to-day. He approaches his work through the lens of performance, mining language from theater as a tool to make sense of the repetitions in his environment. An audition, a cast list, rehearsals, scripts, costumes and sets are all used as frameworks to track an individual’s long-term relationship with various institutions of power.

Learn More About Kester Messan

Lookbook

Kester Massan's "Significant Other", is a collection of works that continuously challenge the status quo and oppressive nature of institutions through visual culture.

Featuring 12 works, this collection is in practice an extension of his senior exhibition at William College where he engages intense research to inform the art he makes.

"Through text-based works and sculpture, performance and public activations, Messan’s work employs poetic devices to consider just how easily oppression can be made aesthetic. He explores the possibility of personal agency, free from institutional agendas, from that of religious and academic institutions, prisons, advertising agencies, social networking sites and even dating apps, like Grindr. Messan’s research-based practice points to the potential consequences of marrying materiality with digital devices, and digital devices with desire."

July 9th, 2022

A curation of suggested realities

About the Artist

Richard J. Watson, an alumnus of the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts, in Philadelphia, is a multi- faceted artist who is widely recognized as a representational, and collage artist. He has to his credit many public and institutional murals throughout the city of Philadelphia.

Learn More About Richard Watson

Lookbook

Richard Watson’s “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” is a collection of new and past works ranging from 1996-2022, showcasing Watson’s artistic career and evolution.
Featuring 25 works, “My Country, ‘Tis of Thee” utilizes historical and contemporary motifs. Paying homage to his rural heritage informed by his childhood in North Carolina, throughout the exhibition, Watson uses this as a backdrop to both appreciate the beauty of America but to also socially critique the country. Throughout his collages, Watson successfully portrays what dreams must be like, “...issues of social politics are presented with fragmented elements of "real life" collaged and collapsed, as dreams are prone to do. If connections are made, all the better. Life should remind us of our dreams.” Each collage portrays the social dichotomies that persist in American history and culture, black and white, function and dysfunction, freedom and slavery, good and evil.

Wanda Payne: Art is Love

March 5th - April 9th, 2022

“Art is Love” reveals the conversation an artist has with the medium while in the process of creating and discovering self.

Meet the Artist

To define who she is, Wanda Payne searches through the lines and marks she makes on the canvas, scratchboard, or pastel paper to uncover those hidden truths about her own identity. “My work is about me finding truth within myself. Society and or people around you will always have an opinion of you and what you should do. Art and the arts (painting, writing, music) … this is where you can be free.” Moving from the figurative to the more abstract, Wanda demonstrates the inner workings of her artistic expression. Even the materials used – from scratchboard to chalkboard board to your typical mediums like canvas and panel – reflect Wanda’s desire to define herself outside of the confines of convention. This is her art and her art is love.

The Brothers Johnson

February 5th - April 2nd, 2022

The Brothers Johnson is the brainchild of Danny Simmons and co curated by Dawn Stringer and Noah Smalls. All three artist are members of the FB group Black Abstract Artists. Al Johnson, Chuck Johnson and Femi J. Johnson are a trio of dynamic Abstract Artists, although unrelated, they are brothers in art. They collectively display passion, drive and not to mention matched creative wisdom. As teachers and mentors they see the value in passing creative support to their artistic communities. Each artist believes in allowing the viewer the opportunity of developing their own interpretation of their work which in turn can lead to a strong emotional connection.
The works selected were based upon line placement, texture, shape, form and colors. I was immediately drawn in by Al Johnson’s use of bold bright colors, his signature “cosmic splatter” and the intuitive movement and markings of his work. Chuck Johnson's intricate and well calculated line placement, geometric shapes and texture develop into multiple layers of wonder. Femi J. Johnson’s works displays his great use of rich deep passionate colors and deliberate placement of markings, lines, shapes and contrasting colors. This deliberate placement creates concise layers and well defined texture. Although this triad of artists have varying techniques and styles their work is extremely cohesive and “three times DOPE!”

Al Johnson

Al Johnson is a mixed media artist, NFT creator, educator and mentor. His signature style is heavily influenced by the contemporary yet intertwined with classic training received from Pratt Art Institute, the Art Students League and The Albert Pale School of Commercial Art. Al states, “to some my work is abstract, this is dependent upon the viewer's interpretation. Every piece of art has a story and the final chapter is what’s felt after viewing my work. I am merely a vessel.” Al's work has been acquired in public, as well as the private collections including Danny Simmons and corporate collections including Brooklyn Borough Hall and the Georgia Aquarium. Some of other clients include HBO, MGM, and Paramount. He's also received invitations to exhibit at the Tokyo Metropolitan Museum, Susan Bently Gallery in London as well as Maison de Arts in France. Al is a resident artist at the Banana Factory in New York. More of his will be seen on the upcoming CBS television show, “Star Trek: Picard.

Chuck Johnson

Chuck Johnson is a mixed media artist who resides in Memphis, TN. He received a Master of Fine Art from Memphis University. Chuck's medium includes oil on canvas or wood along with a host of multimedia materials. He takes an approach to creating that explores the often conflicted relationship between decorative traditions in geometric patterns found in other cultures and Western Modernism. His abstract works deliberately avoid culturally specific subject matter and creates more elusive contemporary abstractions. Chuck finds art to be extremely useful and necessary to the health and well-being of society. “I find the relationship between our spiritual well-being, physical bodies and our state of mind is paramount- so it should be with our approach to art.” Chuck has been in a host of exhibitions throughout the country. His work has been acquired for many private collections including Danny Simmons as well as public collections including: Lupton Company in Chattanooga, TN, Department of the Navy at the Pentagon in Washington DC and The City of Memphis just to name a few. Chuck resides in Memphis, TN where he enjoys cultivating Bonzai Trees.

Femi J. Johnson

Femi J. Johnson is an Abstract Artist raised in Easton, PA. He completed a two year art program at Hudson Valley College in New York, in which he explored contemporary and modernist art. Femi's work represents a complete embodiment of abstraction as seen in his ongoing series titled, “ Abstract Story-Scapes. His work combines raw and figured elements with line drawing and mixed media collages which blend with fragments of memory, places, formal and self-education, personal and media -influenced world views. "I use imagination and deliberate bold gestural strokes, deep passionate colors and multiple layers to challenge the viewer's perception.” Femi has exhibited work nationwide including the private collection of Danny Simmons as well as internationally. His work was acquired by the Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art located in Asbury, NJ. Mr. Johnson’s creative space is located at Expressions Studio and Gallery located in Allentown, PA. Femi is a teacher, mentor and ardent supporter of the arts community.

Lavett Ballard’s “Roots: From Our Head to Our Souls”  —

November 13th - December 30th, 2021

Lavett Ballard’s “ROOTS: From our Heads to our Soul” is a visual interpretation of what the word “Roots” means to the artist and investigates political and social inequities behind it. While investigating this there is also celebration that comes with the word when she thinks about familial roots.

Lavett Ballard is famously known for her collages on wood. However, in this exhibition she expands beyond this medium and features works that are created with synthetic and human hair including sculptures.

“Roots, dependent on the frame of mind of the individual could bring
up visions of planting something in the earth and the organic arteries and veins that
supply sustenance to that which is planted. For me the word brought forth visions of
my Family and my natural hair. Roots in relation to the state of our natural hair as
it grows from our heads, and how society often forces women of color to decide
how we style our hair as a political or statement of our cultural identity. The other
Roots is our heritage, the ancestors and legacy they leave us, which helps form the
Soul of who we are.

The work in this exhibit includes a not often shown Conceptual body of
work created from synthetic and human hair in mixed media, and sculptural
metaphors of African-American experience. The other body of work is my more
renowned Mixed Media/ Collage art created on Wood slices, reclaimed wood
fences, handmade and archival paper, that has been translated into visual
narratives. These works highlight through two dimensional and Installation art the
histories and stories of specifically females of the African diaspora.”

-Lavett Ballard

About the Artist

Lavett Ballard is an Artist, Art historian, Curator, and Author. She hold a dual Bachelor’s in Studio Art and Art History with a minor in Museum Studies from Rutgers University, she also has an MFA in Studio Art from the University of the Arts in Philadelphia.

Ballard’s art has been commissioned as a cover for Time Magazine special Woman of the Year double edition released March 2020. Among her accolades she is a 2021 Yaddo Artist residency fellow, named by Black Art in America as one of the Top 10 Female Emerging Artists to Collect.

Taj Poscè: Everything and Nothing

August 14th, 2021 - October 3rd, 2021

Taj Posce’s “Everything and Nothing” is a curation of abstract works that seeks to investigate and challenge young, Black thought and imagination through a fantastical lens. Through Posce’s use of vibrant colors, shapes both familiar and unfamiliar, Posce is able to visually articulate the imaginative spirit that is often misrepresented or not represented at all in contemporary mainstream mediums. In the true spirit of artists and intellectuals who utilize Afrofuturism to challenge popular sci fi motifs, Posce is continuing to interject his own perspective in this unique visual collection.

“ [Everything and Nothing is] a series of conceptual, abstract and figurative works that include painting, sculpture, and installation. The exhibition touches on themes that intersect between dichotomies of everyday life and personal experience through a lens of a young black man; The targeting of black history, what is and is not given to us; The representation of black figures in media and art, or the lack thereof; particularly of supernatural representation (black male/child as an angel); and the abstracted pieces are expressions of these same ideas but also a celebration to create and discover ideas freely coming out of urban communities where there aren't many platforms to do so, and in many institutional setting, there is no space or understanding of these viewpoints.
These works intertwine cerebral thought, theory and history, with a visceral and expressionistic style that intrinsically personify black culture in America particularly while also masterfully combining and reclaiming styles from “The History” of art and what is popular or contemporary. ”

Dara Haskins: Navigating Space

May 15th, 2021 - July 18th, 2021

Dara Haskins´ ¨Navigating Space¨ is a collection of works created during the pandemic and includes works inspired by her 2019 trip to Cuba. Haskinś paintings offer insight into the daily lives of Cubans, exploring the dichotomy of being both ¨seen and unseen¨. During the pandemic she was still inspired by her previous collection, ¨Havana Time”, utilizing familiar motifs and colors to depict her own life in quarantine, investigating themes of isolation and closeness.

Featuring 34 works, ¨Navigating Space¨ is a curation of daily life for the African Diaspora. Haskins not only challenges how Black people are represented in the visual arts but also works to provide a glimpse into her own vulnerabilities, both missing Cuba yet drawing upon those experiences on the island to feel closer to it.

“I ask where, and in what way can art influence and create our future to be heard and realized. The people and things I paint reflect this. In my paintings, the hands and fingers are drawn to communicate a nuanced understanding of gender and sexuality. The extended hand or arm gestures toward intimacy, openness, and agency. Most people are drawn to the biggest versions of performance in painting, but I’m interested in the normal and mundane in blackness. I challenge the identity of being seen and unseen connecting historical content to contemporary spaces.”
