Can't Turn Around

Please join us on Friday March 8th for the opening reception of Can’t Turn Around, Ta-Coumba T. Aiken’s second solo exhibition with Dreamsong. Showcasing recent paintings, collages and drawings, the exhibition reveals the full range of the artist’s practice. By refusing to isolate singular figures, and through multiple layers of painting which coexist on the same plane, Aiken’s works – like the complex, resilient communities they honor – offer multiple points of entry and vantage. Rhythmic and sinuous, Aiken’s line doubles back on itself in the infinite manner of a Mobius strip, nesting one body or visage inside another, and paying homage to the multi-generational, ancestral histories they depict.
