More than 70 Iconic Works by Kerry James Marshall Shape a Major Survey in the U.K. — Colossal

Kerry James Marshall’s vibrant paintings challenge the past by delving into themes of race, identity, legacy, and representation. In a new exhibition titled “Kerry James Marshall: The Histories,” the Royal Academy of Arts presents the largest survey of the artist’s work outside of the U.S. The show features over 70 works spanning Marshall’s career, including a monumental oil painting commissioned for the Chicago Public Library.

The exhibition is organized thematically, inviting viewers on a journey through Marshall’s exploration of visibility, stereotypes, and the African American experience. Marshall often references historical events and social movements, such as slavery, the Civil Rights movement, and the omission of people of color from Western art traditions. Through his work, he elevates everyday activities and interactions, using the past as a tool to shape the future.

One of the key pieces in the exhibition is “The Academy,” a painting from 2012 that features a male model in a life drawing class giving the iconic raised fist of the Black Power movement. This piece sets the tone for the rest of the show, highlighting Marshall’s commitment to challenging stereotypes and addressing the lack of representation of Black figures in art history.

Visitors to the exhibition can expect to see a range of works that touch on themes of community, history, and cultural identity. From vibrant portraits to scenes of everyday life, Marshall’s paintings offer a powerful commentary on the complexities of race and representation in contemporary society.

“Kerry James Marshall: The Histories” opens on September 20 at the Royal Academy of Arts in London and runs through January 18. For more information about the exhibition and to plan your visit, please visit the RA’s website.

Through his colorful and bold paintings, Marshall invites viewers to reflect on the past, engage with the present, and imagine a more inclusive and equitable future.
