Join us for an all-day brunch and artist-led tours with African-Canadian artist, Jan WADE, for her inaugural exhibition COLORED ENTRANCE at Richard Saltoun Gallery New York.
COLORED ENTRANCE will be Wade’s first solo exhibition in the United States, on the occasion of the acquisition of her work iconic work, Epiphany (1994 - 2012), by the National Gallery of Canada, as well as her upcoming retrospective Soul Power opening at the Art Gallery of Hamilton, Ontario in June 2024. Previously touring from Vancouver Art Gallery (2022), this marked the first solo show by a Black woman artist in the museum’s ninety-year history.
The exhibition COLORED ENTRANCE spans both historic and new work, continuing Wade's exploration of Black identity in a post-colonial landscape, drawing from her heritage, African diasporic spiritual practices, and the history of Southern Slave Cultures. A main highlight is her new series of Memory Jugs, inspired by traditional vessels found on African-American graves in the American South.
COLORED ENTRANCE is on view between 2 May - 22 June 2024.
