Jonathan Carver Moore Hours
The gallery is now open by appointment. Regular hours begin in June.
Overview
Black as an Experience, Not as a Color, is a FANTASTIC group show currently on view at Jonathan Carver Moore. The artists include Aplerh-Doku Borlabi, Christopher Adam Williams, Odinakachi Okoroafor, Glenn Hardy Jr., STEELO, and Sesse Elangwe.
The moderately sized gallery opened back in March and occupies an exceptional space at 966 Market Street in downtown San Francisco’s Tenderloin district, which is Bart/Muni accessible, a 3-minute walk from the Westfield Mall. Jonathan Carver Moore is a Black-owned business supporting BIPOC, LGBTQ+, and women artists (sad to have missed his first show featuring Kacy Jung).
I found See It Differently, 2023 by Cameroonian artist, Sesse Elangwe, to be particularly striking as Elangwe’s stylized eyes and robust colors harmonize in perfect surrealist ease. His work was also recently featured in Some Dogs: A Curated Selection of Dog Art from the Hornik Collection, another terrific San Francisco show.
It’s exciting to see art flourishing again in San Francisco, which was evident during the opening for Black as an Experience, Not as a Color. People may not be leaving their homes for work or for shopping in downtown San Francisco, but they are certainly coming out for art (as they should be IMO). Jonathan Carver Moore is the city’s hot gallery right now, that’s for sure.
🗓 Black as an Experience, Not as a Color runs until June 3, 2023 at Jonathan Carver Moore.
