SSG ARTIST SONYA CLARK FEATURED IN CVILLE WEEKLY
POSTED ON 10.11.2016
Sonya Clark's "Bitter, Sweet and Tender" is on display at SSG through October 20, 2016. In a new body of work comprised of photography, currency, sculpture and textiles that engage auto-ethnographical research on Clark’s various lineages, this Richmond-based artist examines social, practical and existential concerns ranging from how sugarcane is produced and consumed to how value is assigned to human life. Read an article about her work and the exhibition at Cville Weekly.

Up Next at SSG - “Lady Painters: Inspired by Joan Mitchell”! Become a sponsor now and join us for a special Sponsor Preview Party on May 30 to meet the artists and celebrate in the company of friends and fine art. Featured below: Janet Bruce,“Firefly”, 2019, oil on canvas (diptych), 48 x 48. Bruce’s paintings are a conversation about displacement and memory. Each piece is a dance between chaos and control, about fixing a gesture without losing the energy of that gesture. She explains, “I take pleasure in layering washes, weaving verticals and horizontals, scumbling, scraping, all the while being mindful of the overall composition.” https://www.eventbrite.com/e/sponsor-preview-party-for-lady-painters-tickets-59191858442?aff=ehomecard
