The portraits by Las Vegas-born artist Q’Shaundra James are largely influenced by W.E.B. Du Bois’ idea of “the veil” that obscures how Black Americans see themselves, largely because of racist white narratives and dominant stereotypes.

But James and her subjects’ attempt to cast aside the veil — as well as the legacy of slavery and the canonization of European art — through the sitters’ expressions and the painter’s interpretations of those sitters. The portraits will be on display through both Black and women’s history months, until April 5, at Left of Center Gallery.

Wednesday viewings are by appointment.

Candace Nicol Garlock works in many mediums. The coalescence of printmaking techniques, painting, photography (and sculpture, too!) overlap and converge with color, texture, and line in a collaboration of mixed, experimental beauty. With her appreciation of the interconnectedness of everything, she elevates relationships: human and environment, human and animal, human and human.

Garlock was was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis in 2011, after many years of unexplained symptoms. In her work she explores the effects of the autoimmune disease "and the play between the nervous system and immune system, beginning to find beauty within the acceptance of pain.”

Much of this exhibit is his metal and ceramic vessels, some which look like large gemstone-shaped planters, others look like metal cones, some of them actually holding plants. Luis incorporated found objects and, according to the exhibit preview, the works bridge contemporary design and the visual style known as brutalism. They’re industrial-looking, but they’re also literally holding plants. If you spotted a theme for this month’s art picks, there’s a marriage of the man-made and the natural world in this exhibition, and like a lot of great art, it projects juxtaposition until it doesn’t.

Note: Available through March 31.
