"Reflections" unites recent works by LA’s Lanise Howard and Oklahoma’s Robert Peterson, each known for their stirring Black portraits. Both artists possess Lucien Freud-like ability to reach into their subjects and reveal something particularly visceral or vulnerable. Howard’s ‘Waiting on a memory’ and Peterson "Saint Gregory" are genuine emotional tours de force - while the latter’s unusual application of color in Skin Noir and Soulful seems rife with metaphor.
