The title of the duo exhibition 'Look, Listen and Respond' by Sedrick Huckaby and Riley Holloway refers to the moment of time when someone has to contemplate, when being confronted with new ways of seeing.
LOOK, LISTEN AND RESPOND
RILEY HOLLOWAY, SEDRICK HUCKABY
26 JUNE - 31 JULY 2021
Sedrick Huckaby is an American painter whose practice explores themes of community and tradition through figurative painting. Within oil painting, Huckaby seeks to reveal the Afro-American cultural landscape of his own community by creating connections between the past and the present. In his portraits, his Texan background is often a reference, both conceptually and pictorially which investigates the cultural link between his subjects and himself.
In the exhibition Look, Listen and Respond, figures are isolated, covered by anonymity, yet represent a moment of contemplation. Dissatisfied with the inability of such images to represent the complexity of the historical moment, Huckaby created large format paintings of paintings where he was using motifs for his paintings on photographs — the view itself— contained just such a complexity. Here was a place with its own history that could be coaxed into an image by deliberate observation and ex*****on, a place that bore the marks of history and psychology in the people and facial expressions of individuals.
Sedrick Huckaby, born 1975 in Fort Worth,Texas, US, lives and works in Fort Worth, TX. He received his MFA from Yale University in 1999. Huckaby has been the recipient of numerous awards including a Guggenheim award, Joan Mitchell Foundation Grant, American Academy of Arts and Letters Award, and a Lewis Comfort Tiffany Award. His works are in the collections of the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Amon Carter Museum of American Art, Fort Worth, Texas, African American Museum, Dallas, Texas; McNay Art Museum, San Antonio, Texas; Minneapolis Institute of Arts, Minneapolis, Minnesota; the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts; and Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, New York; among others.
Riley Holloway, born 1989 in Los Angeles, US, lives and works in Dallas, TX. Holloway attended The Art Institute of Dallas and the Florence Academy of Art, where he focused on traditional drawing and oil painting techniques. His works are in the collections of the University of Oregon, Stanford University, and the Dean collection, among others.
