Local artist Theresa A. Brown’s latest exhibition, “Racial Inequality” opens in Norfolk Arts’ Offsite Gallery at MacArthur Center with a reception on August 27, 5-7pm. The event and gallery are free and open to the public.
Through a series of abstract acrylic paintings, Theresa A. Brown expresses feelings of pain, love, hope and progress for the future related to issues of racial inequality. Her uniquely unified technique evokes emotion while challenging the mind to see the unseen and unspoken. Representing a step forward for her ancestors and children, a red footprint is incorporated into each painting.
Brown received her BFA in Commercial Art and Design from Virginia State University. National exhibitions include Chicago WCA Woman Made Gallery’s Intersectional History and Young Women’s Caucus, Stockley Gardens Art Festival, Virginia Museum of Contemporary Art Boardwalk Art Show, The Newsome House Museum and Cultural Center Technology Series, The Charles H.
