Congratulations to Rashod Taylor whose work is on view now in Love Languages at The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston. Two of Taylor’s works were included in this group exhibition: Reflection of Me and Hold On. These intimate portraits of father and son are part of an ongoing project, Little Black Boy. The Museum of Fine Arts, Houston now has been following the project for three years, and has nine of Taylor’s Little Black Boy prints in their permanent collection.
The exhibition considers how art-making itself is a type of love language, exploring conceptual concerns and narratives beyond reductive perspectives that center eros as the ultimate form of attachment and offer insights into the question, “How do we prioritize tenderness against debilitating social conditions?”
The exhibition engages the necessity of intimacy in interpersonal and collective relationships; Love Languages includes works by Dawoud Bey, Francesco Clemente, Nicole Eisenman, Louis Fratino, Ron Nagle, Anna Park, Joyce J. Scott, Rashod Taylor, and Billie Zangewa. Organized by Anita N. Bateman, Associate Curator, Modern and Contemporary Art.
