Nairobi-based artist Kaloki Nyamai\u2019s New York solo debut at James Cohan Gallery<\/a> introduces an artist who uses acrylic paint, stitching and photo transfer to create complex surfaces that suggest complicated histories.\u00a0 This painting\u2019s title, \u2018The one who stole my heart,\u2019 features a figure leaning back into a man whose outward-looking eyes connect with our gaze.\u00a0 In contrast to the couple\u2019s intimate, relaxed moment, partially visible figures in the background raise their arms in what could be celebration or protest.\u00a0 Elsewhere, photo transfers contrast happy moments of communal activity with news articles about political unrest as Nyamai juxtaposes the lives of individuals with larger social happenings.\u00a0 (On view through May 4th<\/sup>).<\/p>\n
