Somaya Critchlow: Time Never Mattered

Exhibition News

Maximillian William is pleased to present Time Never Mattered, a solo exhibition by Somaya Critchlow at Efrain Lopez Gallery, Chicago. The exhibition will run from 17 November – 29 December 2018.

Time never mattered evokes the immersive reverie an artist can attain through drawing and painting, and the imagistic world-building these processes advance. In a new series of miniature paintings (all works 2018) Somaya Critchlow presents heroines who are themselves unmoored in time and space, emerging starkly against backdrops of thinned oils evocative of the atmospheric monochromatic backgrounds found in early modern European portrait miniatures.
