Myrtis Bedolla Curates “Renaissance: Noir” for UTA Artist Space

The works in “Renaissance: Noir” present Black artists’ narratives, and address issues like racism, colorism, sexism, capitalism, colonialism, escapism, and criticism through the act of artistic activism.

“’Renaissance: Noir’ is more poignant than ever as we share these thought-provoking works which depict the social, political, and historical journey of the Black experience through intergenerational narratives,” said Bedolla in a statement. “I am excited to be partnering with UTA Artist Space on such a timely collection of paintings, prints, photographs, sculptures, and conceptual works, which span over 40 years of artistic production.”

A portion of the proceeds from the sale of works in the show will go to Artist Relief, a coalition of national art grant-makers that have come together to support artists during this time. The online exhibition is live on the UTA Artist Space website until July 3.
