Tilton Gallery presents their first solo exhibition of work by Tomashi Jackson, titled “The Subliminal is Now”, on display through January 7, 2017.“The Subliminal is Now” investigates color as a vehicle for painting, complex narrative, and emotion around a nexus of materiality, figuration, and light. This body of work interrogates the subliminal impact of color perception on the value of human life in public space. Color operates as projection, reflection and obstruction, as both subliminal and sublime. Catalyzed by an interest in the history of school desegregation in the United States, against a contemporary backdrop of explicitly illustrated dehumanization of Black people and specifically Black children, Jackson’s research is the narrative framework from which her own language of abstraction emerges.The exhibition is displayed at Tilton Gallery, 8 East 76 Street New York, NY 10021.
