The Art of Duality: A Parallel Visions ft. Terrill K. Johnson and Leon D. Finney III

Ultra Silk Gallery is thrilled to present "The Art of Duality: Parallel Visions", an evocative exhibition featuring the works of two celebrated artists, Leon Dewitt Finney III and Terrill Kevyn Johnson. This exhibition delves into the rich and complex theme of duality, where the artists explore the intersections of self and society, past and present, struggle and triumph. Leon Dewitt Finney III brings to life the experiences of African American history and culture through his powerful, thought-provoking pieces. As the Director and Founder of 1Touch of Color, Finney has mentored countless young artists and played a pivotal role in creating murals that reflect the beauty and resilience of inner-city youth. His works, featured in both public and private collections, capture the essence of his subjects with captivating detail, blending realism with abstract elements to convey profound narratives. Terrill Kevyn Johnson merges abstract expressionism with figurative art, creating vibrant, emotive compositions that challenge perceptions and invite introspection. His works, such as "Happy Muse," "Courage Under Fire," and "Ancestral Embrace," offer a visual journey through the complexities of identity, heritage, and human emotion. Johnson's dynamic use of color, texture, and form embodies a celebration of cultural narratives and personal experiences, making his art a powerful voice in contemporary discourse. "The Art of Duality" invites you to witness how these two artists navigate the contrasts and connections within their lives and the world around them. Through their distinct styles, Finney and Johnson reveal the multifaceted nature of existence, where duality becomes a lens for understanding the shared and individual struggles that shape our identities. Join us for the opening reception on Second Friday, September 13th, from 5 PM to 8 PM at Ultra Silk Gallery, 3808 Lancaster Avenue. This evening will offer an opportunity to meet the artists, explore their captivating works, and acquire pieces that resonate with your own experiences and reflections. We look forward to welcoming you to this unique celebration of art and duality, where the parallel visions of Finney and Johnson come together in a compelling and inspiring showcase.
