The Answers Are Often Found In The Questions, 2021

Artist: IMANI BILAL 

Bilal often paints while seated on the floor to pour her whole body into the composition, using her hands, found objects, and hand-crafted brushes, to create an array of effects. Islamic art focuses on the spiritual essence of things rather than their physical qualities, a concept which is at the heart of Bilal’s practice. 

Bilal also admires the graphic artist and sculptor Elizabeth Catlett, Color field painter and lyrical abstractionist Sam Gilliam, and Color field painter Morris Louis but finds creative insight in everyday people as well.
