For the 2024 edition of The Art Show, Inman Gallery is pleased to present a solo booth of work by Houston-based artist David McGee. Sponsored by the Art Dealers Association of America (ADAA), The Art Show is presented at the Park Avenue Armory in New York City, October 29 – November 2, 2024.
Installed in the booth are selections from McGee's Avenging Angels portrait series. Working primarily in watercolor –with supplementary interventions in graphite and colored pencil– McGee presents the viewer with a cast of empowered women who take matters into their own hands as agents of their own existence. Armed and dressed for high society, the women known as the Avenging Angels pay homage to the strategies Black women implement to survive and flourish, past and present.
