Recovering Secrets: The Art of Jeffrey Kent
November 21, 2024-June 26, 2025
In Recovering Secrets, Jeffrey Kent, a dynamic and multifaceted artist from Baltimore, invites viewers on a journey of revelation and introspection. The exhibition title reflects Kent's artistic process of uncovering hidden truths, both personal and societal. Through his work, Kent peels back layers of paint and meaning, exposing concealed narratives and challenging viewers to confront uncomfortable realities: the dismissal of the Black body, systemic violence against marginalized communities, the intersection of race and the criminal justice system, and the struggle for identity and dignity in the face of oppression.
