The Time is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure at NCMA
April 23 @ 10:00 am - June 29 @ 5:00 pm
Experience “The Time is Always Now: Artists Reframe the Black Figure”, a powerful and timely exhibition organized by the National Portrait Gallery, London. Featured artist Amy Sherald—widely known for her portrait of First Lady Michelle Obama—invites reflection with “She was learning to love moments, to love moments for themselves” (2017), a striking oil on canvas that redefines Black representation in contemporary portraiture.
This exhibition brings together visionary artists who reimagine the Black figure in art, creating space for stories often left untold. Presented by the North Carolina Museum of Art, with support from the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources, the NCMA Foundation, and the William R. Kenan Jr. Endowment for Educational Exhibitions.
Research for this exhibition was made possible by Ann and Jim Goodnight/the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation Fund for Curatorial and Conservation Research and Travel.
On view through June 29
