Krasl Art Center

Preview Party: Sculpture in the Direct Method
2026-05-15 18:00 - 20:00 (America/Detroit) | Krasl Art Center, 707 Lake Blvd, St. Joseph, MI, 49085, United States
Sculpture in the Direct Method presents a dynamic conversation between generations of Black artists, exploring abstraction, representation, and political engagement in modern and contemporary practice. Featuring Isaac Duncan III, Ajene Cetawayo Williams, Richard Hunt, and Albert LaVergne, the exhibition highlights how material, form, and concept intersect to reflect both personal and collective histories.
The works on view range from bold abstraction to nuanced representation, moving between politically engaged statements and more meditative explorations of gesture and form. Across sculpture and painting, the exhibition demonstrates the breadth and complexity of Black artistic expression.
By bringing together artists from two generations, the exhibition invites consideration of how ideas, techniques, and perspectives evolve while remaining grounded in cultural experience and artistic inquiry. Throughout, material and process serve as key points of connection, shaping how artists engage identity, history, and culture.
