Member Tour: Devan Shimoyama: Cry, Baby
Explore the first museum solo exhibition of local artist, Devan Shimoyama in a tour led by Warhol curator Jessica Beck.
In figurative painting and self-portraiture, Shimoyama creates vulnerable yet resilient depictions of African American boyhood and masculinity. While canvases feel joyful and celebratory, they also present commentary on pain and sorrow. Shimoyama illuminates a world where race, sexuality, and identity can operate from a point of freedom generated by inner strength.
