SAN FRANCISCO
In Their Hands honors the time, skill, and dedication required to be an artist. The years of training, experimentation, and persistence needed to create something by hand embody a rare and courageous pursuit—one that deserves deep recognition. This exhibition showcases the work of seven remarkable artists: Mustafa Ali Clayton, Adrian Burrell, Renee Cox, Dewey Crumpler, Lola Flash, Alex Jackson, and Blessing Ngobeni. Each artist is at a different stage in their creative journey—some are emerging, while others are well-established—but all share a profound respect for the process and a deep engagement with their artistic practice.
Working across painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, and mixed media, these artists demonstrate extraordinary mastery of their chosen forms. Burrell, Clayton, Cox, Crumpler, Flash, Jackson, and Ngobeni command abundant creativity in their hands.
