New FUN work by #JanivaEllis @ #47CanalGallery “Tip Drill” Sep 13 – Oct 20, 2019 #47CANAL “There is an inconvenient level of dread when you suppress the desire to have physical space reflect mental space. Renovating comes with the seductive promise of harmony. Renovators are driven by the goal of finishing but there is always room for pause, undoing, place-holding and replacement. Customized points of entry and exit give your threshold a boost. Handle what you have in your hand.” ~ Janiva Ellis #figurative #figurativeart #figurativesurrealism #surrealism #femaleartist #africanamerican #blackfemaleartist #blackwomeninthearts #blackness #blackexcellence #americanart #blackportraiture #representationmatters #blackart #blackculture #blackgirlmagic #blkcreatives #whitneybiennial #newmuseumtriennial #remahortmannfoundation #stanleyhollanderaward #artlover #artcollectors #artcurators #artadvisory #destineeross @desti.knee & #joakimvonditmar (at 47 Canal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2Z2v9HFQrC/?igshid=o8tn3yyq38li
