BEDMINSTER, N.J. - eMusicWire -- The Center for Contemporary Art ("The Center") is pleased to announce two fall solo exhibitions on view September 27 through December 8. The opening reception will be held on Friday, September 27 from 6-8pm, and is free and open to the public.
Angela Pilgrim: New Growth presents the work of Angela Pilgrim whose studio is in Newark, New Jersey. She explains, "My work explores the Black female gaze through figurative imagery of the body. Utilizing portraiture, printmaking, pattern making and mixed media, I investigate themes of beauty, spirituality and reflection. By creating visual stories that invoke critical thinking processes regarding interiority, my work aims to reverse and rebuild how black women see themselves, both within their communities and expanded to a much larger world-view."
Pilgrim's art has been featured in prestigious publications such as The Creative Independent and The Getty Archives. Her contributions to the art world extend beyond print, as she has also been actively engaged in guest residencies and lectures across the nation. Her work is held in both public and private collections both nationally and internationally, including the Newark Public Library, Petrucci Family Foundation Collection of African American Art, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art. Pilgrim's participation in group exhibitions is noteworthy, particularly her inclusion in Black Histories, Black Futures at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA and Gadsden Museum of Art in Gadsden, AL. Additionally, Pilgrim chairs the art and graphic design departments at Warren County College.

Barbara Wallace: Sculpture showcases the work of sculptor Barbara Wallace. Wallace, who resides in Elizabeth, New Jersey, is a sculptor known for her figurative art works and innovative use of recycled materials. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Pratt Institute and Master of Fine Arts in Sculpture from the University of Pennsylvania. Wallace is an Adjunct Professor at Passaic County Community College and Adjunct Distinguished Professor at Kean University. Wallace is a previous Union County Honoree in the Arts for Women's History Month, awarded by the NJ Senate and General Assembly.
When discussing her work she explains, "Shape, form and structure are essential aspects of my sculptures created with a paper mache technique in recycled paper, cardboard, wire, metal and acrylic paint. The concept for each sculpture relies on individual forms that come together to create a unified geometrically shaped structure such as a circle or rectangle…. Using up-cycled resources addresses my concerns about climate change and the environment. We have, it seems, enough materials now in existence to create, to express our points of view."
