The Power of Pride
Guest Artist: Vincent Frimpong
April 23-May 8
Reception: Thursday, April 23 | 11 a.m.-1 p.m.
“The Power of Pride” is a culmination of Vincent Frimpong's exploration of assemblage, installation, and a tribute to his Ghanaian heritage. Each work relies on mixed media for an interactive, dynamic, and multidimensional approach. Vincent uses ceramics, found objects, wood, metal, textiles, resin, and light to bring the narrative of his culture to life. The exhibition shares the story of an African man's intentional journey through an American landscape that challenges him to remember his people, power, and the ways he can elevate himself and his community. An aspect of the exhibition that the audience can follow is the work's titles; many have embedded meaning, give a point of reference, and are introspective. The Power of Pride is about the evolution of Frimpong's livelihood. Each artwork hints at what it means to play, take risks, and make a name for oneself in a new country while honoring your homeland. Vincent invites the audience to spend time with each work and remembers a proverb, "When the going gets tough, the tough get going."
