Yamilka Portorreal and Robert W. Grant: Introspection: Series of Self Reflections and Icons, Legends & Stars

"This project follows my journey through introspection, with a series of photographs, drawings, and large-scale paintings. Themes of trauma, gender expression, avoidance & escapism are dissected with my body as the unifying thread. This body of work connects inner feelings and behaviors with what is external. With this project, I aim to be vulnerable by taking inventory of my life for the past year by sharing some of my lived experience and inspiring others to be introspective about their own life." - Yamilka

“My exhibition of paintings will tap into the universal appeal of music, the visual power of art, and the cult of celebrity. I depict muses of our modern culture, whose music has provided the soundtracks, dances, and imageries of our lives. I explore the interplay of their race, gender, sexuality, and how their legacy continues to resonate in our modern world. It will be a celebration of the giants on whose shoulders we stand and gaze by." - Grant
