This long-awaited volume celebrates the work of Kerry James Marshall, one of America's greatest living painters. Born before the passage of the Civil Rights Act, in Birmingham, Alabama, and witness to the Watts riots in 1965, Marshall has long been an inspired and imaginative chronicler of the African American experience. Best known for large-scale interiors, landscapes, and portraits featuring powerful black figures, Marshall explores narratives of African American history from slave ships to the present and draws upon his deep knowledge of art history from the Renaissance to twentieth-century abstraction, as well as other sources such as the comic book and the muralist tradition. With luscious color and brushstrokes and highly detailed patterning, his direct and intimate scenes of black middle-class life conjure a wide range of emotions, resulting in powerful paintings that confront the position of African Americans throughout American history. Richly illustrated, this monumental book features essays by noted curators as well as the artist, and more than 100 paintings from throughout the artist's career arranged thematically by subject: history painting; beauty, as expressed through the nude, portraiture, and self-portraiture; landscape; religion; and the politics of black nationalism.

The most comprehensive book yet on this inspired, inventive chronicler of the African-American experience Alabama-born, Chicago-based Kerry James Marshall is one of the most exciting artists working today. Critically and commercially acclaimed, the painter is known for his representation of the history of African-American identity in Western art. Conversant with a wide typology of styles, subjects, and techniques, from abstraction to realism and comics, Marshall synthesizes different traditions and genres in his work while seeking to counter stereotypical depictions of black people in society.

The exhibition provides visitors with the opportunity to investigate painting’s contemporary achievements (approximately 2000 to 2014) by reviewing the paintings of internationally renowned artists that include some of Norway’s established and emerging painters.

The painters included in the exhibition are: Marlene Dumas (South Africa / Holland), Dag Erik Elgin (Norway), Olav Christopher Jenssen (Norway), Analia Saban (Argentina/US), Mari Slaattelid (Norway), Jitish Kallat (India), Chris Ofili (United Kingdom), Gordon Bennett (Australia), Andreas Eriksson (Sweden), Dorothy Napangardi (Australia), Kerry James Marshall (USA), Tomory Dodge (USA) and Brian Blanchflower (Australia). 

On display are 55 painting works, the greater part from external loans and paintings from the museum collection.

Throughout the first half of the 20thcentury, painting was the dominant medium in art practice. By mid century it was regarded as an agent of classical, modernist aesthetics, and an aporia to post-modern epistemologies. By the century’s close it was enveloped in doubt and its achievements pushed to the periphery of contemporary art activity. In the first decade of the new millennium painters, as well as artists producing painted works, have begun to confront this doubt with a desire and a conviction to discover strategies and methodologies that give painting greater value and purpose in cultural discourse. The exhibition provides visitors with the first opportunity in fifteen years to investigate painting’s contemporary achievements. Painting today has become an adventure in which the medium’s purpose as a discursive tool in the production of knowledge is sustained.

The exhibition is the outcome of three years of research and it seeks to align the painters’ research and studio experiments to a different way of looking and reading the world in which the visual has greater emphasis than the theoretical. The focus is on paintings made in the past fourteen years but most works are from the past two years. The exhibition is accompanied by two bilingual hard copy publications: an exhibition catalogue and a Reader on contemporary painting.

The curator of the exhibition is Gavin Jantjes.
