New exhibit opens at museum in Lancaster
A new solo exhibition by artist Michale James is now open at the Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH).
The exhibit is called “Hands That Feed Us” and highlights the crucial labor of migrant farmworkers in the United States. James has a style he calls “Chromatic Stylized Realism,” highlighting these workers as essential to American life and sustainability. The powerful narratives of migration, the great demands of agricultural work, and the complex realities of border politics and immigration are addressed in this exhibition.
James said that the goal of the series is to consider those whose labor keeps this country going. He wants people to understand the work they perform, the challenges they face on a daily basis, and their overall journey. He hopes that his paintings inspire a place for reflection, discussion, and recognition.
Such new exhibits often rely on poster printing to be promoted throughout a city and surrounding neighborhoods in a region, helping bring attention of them to a wider audience.
James lives and works in Southern California. The Universidad Católica de Chile in Santiago is where he received his training in figurative painting. His work has been displayed in galleries and museums around the world and has been recognized with many prestigious accolades.
The exhibit opened on October 11 and runs through Sunday, November 30.
