In honor of Black History Month, weâre spotlighting âThe Intuitionistâ, a two-person exhibition currently on view, curated by Charles Moore and featuring artists Natia Lemay and Xavier Daniels.
Rooted in an exploration of interiority, memory, and perception, âThe Intuitionistâ resists fixed narratives of identity. Lemayâs paintings situate figures within domestic spaces rendered almost entirely in black, where visibility and invisibility coexist. Black functions not simply as color, but as condition, allowing her work to shift with light and proximity, oscillating between figuration and abstraction. The home becomes a site of intuition, disruption, and generational reckoning.
In conversation, Danielsâ work turns toward the politics of looking and being seen. Drawing from his experiences with brotherhood, labor, and Black masculinity, his large-scale portraits assert presence while refusing performance. His figures hold complexity, quiet power alongside vulnerability, challenging the limited ways Black men are often depicted and discussed.
Curated by art historian and writer Charles Moore, whose work examines color, abstraction, and social justice, âThe Intuitionistâ asks viewers not for certainty, but for attunement. These works do not explain; they invite. They sit in the space between the seen and the felt, offering identity as something fluid, intuitive, and deeply human.
