DARREL ELLIS – REGENERATION
2023-04-17Ellis created a multifaceted body of work that merges painting, printmaking, photography, and drawing before he died of AIDS-related causes at age 33. During his lifetime, his work was included in important contemporary surveys but only now is garnering the posthumous attention it deserves.
The exhibition includes works from major public and private collections, as well as loans from artists for whom Ellis’s work serves as a crucial influence. Among the most poignant and historically significant works are a group of portraits that demonstrate how Ellis documented the experience of living with the AIDS virus. The largest body of work in the exhibition encompass variations on portraits of family members that he pictured and re-pictured in varied media.
Exhibition runs through to April 23rd, 2023
