Juxtapoz Magazine - Library Street Collective Kicks Off 2025 with "Sacred Masses" Group Show
Briefly

Egyir's work captures the diasporan journey, weaving together the fraught history of Black America with spiritual reflections on tides as symbols of transition and renewal. His figures, depicted in moments of fellowship and quiet perseverance, are bathed in luminous light, suggesting the presence of unseen forces, spirits, or divinity guiding them toward transformation.
Exploring notions of selfhood, Smith's depictions of cosmic realms hint at moments of transfiguration, where forces of creation and destruction converge. Hybrid, polymorphic figures occupy her landscapes, while an imaginative, futurist approach to the canvas imagines alternate worlds of liberation and hybridity beyond the constraints of linear time.
Through the layering of bright, transparent pigment, Lupton-Reinhard's painting introduces a contemporary feminine sensibility to ritual and biblical narratives, depicting sisters, nuzzled together under the cover of floral shadows, protecting each other from the unknown world.
Lunday's bright palettes and her dynamic visual language welcome viewers into spectacles where individual and environment are in constant, cyclical dialogue. She probes the constant stream of digital images to uncover the modern-day narratives.
