We Are the Black Gold of the Sun

Martha A. Wade solo exhibition is now on view at Blanc Gallery Chicago through November 30, 2020. The Exhibition Catalog is also now available.

We Are The Black Gold of the Sun, explores the richness and complexities of black people. Martha Wade's recurring motifs - the sun, stars, and strong spirit animals such as bears and whales - personify strength, grandeur, longevity and vitality. This is especially embodied in these times of social unrest, distress and duress, that often fall at the feet of black people. Wade asks us to remember there is always light in darkness ... we are always the brightest stars.
