Kenise Barnes Fine Art is pleased to present the tenth iteration of our exhibition series Cool & Collected. The 2024 edition includes artists identified by gallery director Kenise Barnes and associate director Lani Holloway that are not (yet) represented by the gallery and whose work we are really excited to present to our collectors. The work in this iteration of Cool & Collected feels sort of hand-made and has a certain heartfelt, even naive charm. Each artwork carefully depicts objects and environments with which the artist is intimate. Carefully observed with affection these subjects capture feelings that tug just a tiny bit on our heartstrings and bring a smile of recognition to the viewer.
