About Alexis Pye Alexis Pye explores the tradition of portraiture to express the Black body outside of its social constructs. Placing her subjects in leisurely, luscious, nature-rich and even fantastical settings, her works evoke playfulness, wonder and Blackness, as well as the joys amidst adversity. Her formal strategies include an integration of mixed media within painting, including embroidery and punch-stitch needlework. Combining mediums, Pye challenges distinctions between art and craft by juxtaposing faster image-making with labor-intensive embroidery. Upcoming Programs View Calendar
