Join us online for a conversation with curator Angela Carroll about the development of and highlights from the exhibition, Jerrell Gibbs: No Solace in the Shade.

This upcoming exhibition surveys the first decade of contemporary Baltimore artist Jerrell Gibbs’s (b. 1988) career and marks his first solo Museum show. A painter with astonishing creativity, Gibbs’s dynamic, large-scale figurative paintings explore facets of Black life, including family, friends, and community. Across his career, Gibbs has challenged the near invisibility of Black life in American art. He does so by celebrating identity and culture with profound compassion and insight, often weaving in elements of his own upbringing.
