The Round Chaos, curated by Dexter Wimberly, will feature recent paintings and mixed-media works from Alex Callender, Adin Kachisi, Jackie Milad, and Senghor Reid at SOCO Gallery. The exhibition will run through June 12, 2021.

Alex Callender, Adin Kachisi, Jackie Milad, and Senghor Reid have built their practices exploring complex historical and personal narratives, as well as the delicate relationships between humans and the natural environment. This will be their first exhibition with the gallery.

Figurative paintings by Northampton, Massachusetts-based artist Alex Callender reflect a focus on proposing an alternative Atlantic history performed in scenes by women channeled from colonial painting imagery. With an equal regard for history and materiality, Zimbabwe-born, Harlem-based painter Adin Kachisi’s work is an exploration into the inner world of thought and emotion and the outer world of space and nature. Baltimore-based, Jackie Milad’s symbol-laden mixed-media works utilize a combination of drawing, painting, collage, and textile techniques. While Milad’s process-driven work unpacks the complexities of self, Detroit-based artist Senghor Reid explores interactions between the human body and the environment.
