An emerging artist of remarkable talent, Danielle Mckinney (b. 1981, Montgomery, AL) paints sumptuous, meditative portraits imbued with a sensual and spiritual resonance. Danielle Mckinney: Tell me More—the artist’s American museum debut—celebrates Mckinney’s introspective explorations of Black womanhood, illuminating resilience, beauty, and autonomy. Mckinney employs vibrant colors and riveting compositions to tell stories that are, at once, deeply personal and universally relevant. The exhibition brings together a series of paintings that blend art historical motifs with contemporary sensibilities, creating unforgettable images that are both timeless and radical. Mckinney’s portraits offer a bold and transformative vision of leisure, pleasure, and the rhythmic rituals of the everyday, viewed through a unique female gaze.
Danielle Mckinney: Tell me More is curated by Dr. Gannit Ankori, Henry and Lois Foster Director and Chief Curator, Rose Art Museum and Professor of Fine Arts and Women’s, Gender and Sexuality Studies, Brandeis University.
This exhibition is supported by the Ruth Ann and Nathan Perlmutter Artist-in-Residence Award Fund and Marianne Boesky Gallery.
