Wishful Thinking is Karon Davis’ meditation on the complicated, all too often absent role of the Black figure within the canon of art history. The exhibition presents new life-size, nude sculptures created from body casting friends, muses, and models. Incorporating and expanding upon the classical tradition of sculpture, Davis reconsiders the nude through a contemporary lens. Drawing from visual art, mythology, and theatre from antiquity to the modern era, Davis creates figurative tableaux that reflect on and reimagine Western traditions of representation.
