This exhibit features three St. Louis artists, who each explore a different approach to the fundamental concepts of drawing.

The Sheldon Art Galleries funded and sent five cameras along with a mission team to Malema, Mozambique in March 2020 who worked with the youth choir from the Malema evangelical station of the United Methodist Church to produce the photography included in this exhibit.

The third in a series that celebrates St. Louis’ multicultural communities, this exhibit offers a glimpse into the dramatic and regional traditions of Eastern cultures – China, Korea, Japan, Mongolia and Tibet, and into the lively masquerade traditions of Oceania – Papua New Guinea and New Zealand.

Exploring the significance of mankind’s relationship to nature, Newth’s work examines the often overlooked and intimate effects we have on our surroundings.

Approached through a lens of reordering and discovery, sculptor and installation artist Carlie Trosclair’s site-responsive installations create new topographies and narratives to highlight structural and decorative shifts that evolve over a building’s lifespan.

Everett’s recent work considers the relationship between rupture and Black interiority through an investigation of the materials we collect, the information we hold in our bodies and where the two may converge.

“Relief” consists of two separate bodies of work, drawings and wall sculptures, dissimilar in media and subject but similar in their basis in observation and artistic focus. They are also similar in the context in which they were made: in the city of St. Louis during the COVID-19 pandemic.
