IMMA presents, Howardena Pindell A Renewed Language

IMMA presents the first solo exhibition in Ireland by renowned American artist Howardena Pindell. Pindell is an artist, activist, and educator working through the media of painting, drawing, print and video. This exhibition is the largest presentation of her work in Europe to date.
The exhibition includes new paintings fresh from Pindell’s studio, just shown in New York in 2022. These new works show Pindell circling back to some of her concerns of the early 1970s and 80s. Returning to her method of painting using a stencil, her new work quotes from work made half a century ago. Pindell’s work encompasses her own story with abstraction joined to a sense of social and political urgency and an understanding that the pressures, prejudices and exclusions she faced as a black artist and a woman needed to be part of the subject of her art.
This exhibition has its origins in Howardena Pindell: A New Language, organised by the Fruitmarket, Edinburgh in collaboration with Kettle’s Yard, Cambridge and Spike Island, Bristol.
