Opening Reception: Cool & Collected '23

Kenise Barnes Fine Art is pleased to present the 2023 iteration of our emerging artist exhibition series Cool & Collected, curated by Lani Holloway. Featuring Amanda Acker, the estate of Yayoi Asoma, Kirstin Lamb, and Mary Tooley Parker, the exhibition explores the notion of comfort conveyed in cozy interiors, pictorial hooked rug tapestries, painted embroidery, and the nostalgia of winter lights. As we collectively navigate the third pandemic winter, images carrying associations of warm memories and the sanctuary of home become all the more poignant. This exhibition is dedicated in memoriam to Yayoi Asoma (1980 - 2023)
