NOIR RENAISSANCE
Upcoming Shows
FIRE!!
AUGUST 22ND, 5 PM - 10 PM, 181 US - 1 METUCHEN, NJ
The Harlem Renaissance magazine FIRE!! A Quarterly Devoted to the Younger Negro Artists was a publication devoted to providing a place for young black artists to express the taboo subjects of the world. The magazine's title referred to burning up old ideas, and Fire!! challenged the norms of the older Black generation while featuring younger authors. The endeavor was plagued by debt, and its quarters burned down, ending the magazine after just one issue.
FIRE!! Is a show focused on doing the same. Come party with NOIR RENAISSANCE this April to read poetry, look at art, and be immersed in the beauty of black community that has been historically denied.
OPEN CALL IS OPEN
Meet the artists!
ETERNITY
Eternity not only shows what it means to be inspired by black excellence but also what it means to embody it. Her work touches on the multifaceted nature of black woman and references powerful black artists that came before her. She is the creator of the Creative Soul Art Club.
NANA
As a Black creative woman, art has become my voice. It is a way to express the complexities of my emotions and experiences. It allows me to celebrate the beauty, strength, and diversity of women, while also capturing the rawness of their struggles and pain. My style often features women of color portrayed through realistic, cartoon-like imagery, using vibrant and exaggerated hues to highlight features that resonate deeply with me.
Through my art, I aim to tell stories that honor the resilience, vulnerability, and individuality of women. Each piece offers a space to explore emotions authentically and meaningfully.
SHONOBI
Shonobi is a highly skilled artist currently completing his master's at Pratt after graduating from Eastern Michigan University. His website describes him as "A young Nigerian artist based in Michigan trying to cut his way into the world art scene." With 32.k followers on TikTok this artist captivates people with the depth of his work and the self-reflection behind his pieces.
