Woodrow Nash creates spiritually charged, colorful, alive sculptures of African influence, blending many different influences from the vast continent.
“I’m looking for that expression that cuts across a cultural grain.”
For Woodrow, the search led him to the very foundation of mankind -
Africa and world tribal culture.
Tajah Olson was born in Lilongwe, the capital of the African country of Malawi. “My artwork is inspired by my memories of home and my maternal grandmother, Aswesi: strong, tough, yet kind-hearted.
Most of all, my art celebrates the strength and beauty of tribal African women. My body is my canvas." Tajah paints her face and her body in the tribal patterns and in the spirit of her ancestors.
Clifton Webb came to realize that the African American Community were vastly under-represented in the art world. Webb set out to create works that would say to the world “This is me and all the people around me who don’t get to see themselves, who don’t get to see the royalty and sacredness of who the African American is.”
