Oasis

Ludovic Nkoth

2020

The work of Cameroonian-born artist Ludovic Nkoth is informed by events in his life that led him to migrate to the United States at the age of thirteen. Having left his family in Cameroon, Nkoth found solace and comfort in the creative process while being raised primarily as a stranger in a strange land, where he began to reconsider his own culture to (re)locate his identity. Nkoth's work presents a highly personal view of Africa, his family history, and the immigrant experience of displacement in one's adopted country.

Flight of the Butterfly No. 1 (Vol de Papillon)

1955

Stanton Macdonald-Wright

As exemplified by Flight of the Butterfly, Macdonald-Wright's late style is, concerned with light and translucency. One can partly attribute this lyricism to the artist's devotion to Buddhism and Japanese art. Even the title alludes to a Zen-like appreciation of fleeting beauty.

As a young American artist in Paris, Stanton Macdonald-Wright co-founded a short-lived but influential art movement called synchromism, which proposed an abstract art based on a musical/mysti-cal interpretation of color. Returning from Europe, Macdonald-Wright eventually settled in southern California, where he became an impassioned advocate for modern art. In the last decades of his long career, he returned to color abstraction.
