Kori Newkirkâs artistic practice is startlingly diverse in media, subjects and themes, but all share his unique perspective on identity and African American cultural politics. The Pasadena Museum of California Art is proud to present Kori Newkirk: 1997-2007, the first major retrospective of the Los Angeles-based artistâs work. Using popular culture and personal experiences as a foundation, Newkirkâs oeuvre is both visually stunning and intellectually challenging. His early work focuses on themes of black masculinity, but later begins to encompass wider notions of gender, race and social geography. In particular, Newkirk has earned acclaim for a set of worksâhis pony-bead curtainsâthat anchor this exhibition, which is comprised of more than thirty works completed since Newkirk received his MFA from UC Irvine.
