“Kevin’s ceramic work speaks eloquently about our culture,” Kaplan says. “His narrative drawings are about race, ethnicity, color — all those things that we find difficult to talk about. Yet when placed as a narrative on a vessel, the work transcends those artificial barriers. Kevin is a masterful ceramic artist and elegant draftsman, and he makes us look at issues of color and race in a humorous way.”
Color Blind, featuring twenty new vessels by Snipes, opens November 6 with a reception from 6 to 9 p.m.; the evening will include a program with local poets Ashara Ekundayo and Ayinde Russell, plus spins by DJ CaveM. Snipes will also host a community talkback at 3 p.m. on November 7 at the Blair-Caldwell African American Research Library. The show continues at Plinth, 3520 Brighton Boulevard, through November 30; go to www.plinthgallery.com or call 303-295-0717.
