Ronnie Mae Painter, self-taught, multi-talented artist, will hold her first solo exhibition of her groundbreaking series of paintings titled, Cadillacs and Crosses. Ms. Painter's sculptures will also be included.
Ms. Painter, a controversial and outspoken published writer and classically trained musician, uses raw, discarded materials from the streets of New York to create edgy paintings and intriguing sculptures embodying the observations drawn from her experience as a woman of mixed descent. Her works are powerful, emotional and highly personal reflecting the controversy and questions surrounding gender, race, religion and cultural identity. Her art speaks of her parents' complex and fertile relationship and Ms. Painter's own struggle to define her identity in a society lacking cultural definition.
