African-American Icons

Gallery owner and African-American art missionary Stella Jones has devoted most of the last year to showcasing superb black artists who haven’t gotten their full measure of public appreciation. To finish the series, her stylish gallery is presenting the work of sculptor Richard Hunt and painter Richard Mayhew. Both are art school trained and came of age in the 1950s. Their work makes for some interesting compare and contrasts, with Hunt’s hard-edged steel sculptures serving as an interesting counter-point to Mayhew’s lyrical, dreamlike landscapes.
