Esmaa Mohamoud

Press Release

Esmaa Mohamoud’s inaugural solo exhibition with the gallery, What Does Webster’s Say About Soul?, will present a new body of sculptural work that expands upon the artist's distinctive visual language. Renowned for a conceptual practice that engages familiar objects and iconography rooted in Black culture, Mohamoud recontextualizes these source materials through shifts in scale, material and the layering of nuanced cultural references. Her work is held in several prominent public collections, including the Art Gallery of Hamilton, Ontario, Toronto; the Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; and the Eli and Edith Broad Art Museum, East Lansing, Michigan.
