Royalty Without Riches: Bisa Butler's Portrait Quilts at the Richard Beavers Gallery

demetria lucas February 15, 2016

I've been having a lot of "love at first sight" moments with art lately. Such is the case when you're actively looking for beauty; you seem to find it everywhere. Such was the case with the work of artist Bisa Butler's latest exhibition in Brooklyn, "The People Who Could Fly: Royalty Without Riches". Butler uses everyday materials denim, cotton, silk, vintage flour sacks, etc. to create intricate portraits of the people who surround her such as her father, a friend's daughter, or her grandmother, along with famous women who inspire her such as Lauryn Hill, Nina Simone, and Zora Neale Hurston.
