Roberts Projects is delighted to announce Kehinde Wiley: A Maze of Power at Mohammed VI Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Rabat, Morocco. Initiated in 2012, the unprecedented series explores the staging of power through the lens of African heads of state. The portraits reflect the distinctive cultural elements of each state, thus highlighting the immense diversity of the African continent, and reveal the identity of an individual through the double prism of the artist and his model.

Indo-Caribbean artist Suchitra Mattai unravels stories of the past to imagine new futures. In her work, she is deeply influenced by the history of her ancestors, who were brought from India to work as indentured laborers in Guyana. She works with materials that honor the labor of women—including vintage saris, beads, and embroidery—and uses techniques passed down through generations. At the center of the exhibition, Mattai reimagines her grandparents’ home in Guyana, the core of her migration story. From there, a memory journey told through textiles and sculptures spills out into the rest of the gallery.

The Corridor Foundation is pleased to announce the launch of its spring exhibition, Mystical Me, on March 29, 2025. The exhibition showcases works that either reveal the alienation and inner conflicts of individuals during the process of modernization through distorted forms and vivid color contrasts; or transcend the boundaries between reality and illusion through collage, juxtaposition, and recombination, thereby constructing an imaginative surreal space; or engage visitors into the artists' inner worlds, embarking on a profound spiritual journey centered on themes of loss and discovery.The exhibition explores how contemporary artists construct their own worlds through art, offering insights into self-awareness and spiritual development.

Some artists are drawn to small paintings for practical reasons; when materials, studio space and shipping have never been more expensive, they’re relatively cheap to make and easy to store and transport. Small paintings are also intimate, seductive and unpretentious. As Middleton puts it, they “creep up on you.”  While the artists who make them vary in style and approach, they seem to share a somewhat old-fashioned view of what art is for: individual communion rather than collective spectacle — only one viewer can stand in front of each of these pieces at a time.
