Stan Squirewell: Threads of Influence
Various Artists
Stan Squirewell, Hot Curlers and Vaseline, 2025. Artist printed photos collaged with paint and glitter in a hand carved shu shugi ban frame. 72 x 72 x 2.5 inches.
Louisville based artist Stan Squirewell presents his ongoing work focusing on mixed media collage and the generational spirit that flows between our known and unknown ancestors. Squirewell’s work emerges from the labor histories and the importance of family portraiture in African American communities, traditions that drive the continued cultural relevance of fashion and resourcefulness within the African American experience.
Connecting past and present through found photographs, the artist blends photography, painting and textiles to explore the presence of the African diaspora in the United States. Included in the exhibition are several recent works by Squirewell alongside pieces by contemporary artists in his personal collection who have influenced him or who he has mentored.
This exhibition is organized by the Kentucky Contemporary Art Museum.
