DrawNow! Online! with Nadia Parfait

April 23, 2020, 12:30pm

Toyin Ojih Odutola, Paris Apartment, 2016–17. Charcoal, pastel, and pencil on paper, 59 3/8 42 inches. Private collection, New York.

Join artist Nadia Parfait for a participatory drawing workshop centered themes from our 2018 exhibition For Opacity: Elijah Burgher, Toyin Ojih Odutola, and Nathaniel Mary Quinn.

Sharing the work of these three contemporary artists, who each explore identity through portraiture in their own distinct approach and personal background, Parfait will draw connections between each and then lead a portraiture drawing activity.
