Undercover / Ayanah Moor

Ayanah Moor deploys abstraction as a way to rethink our inherited modes
of communication and interpretation of visual art. Her method of “social abstraction” reconsiders how abstraction — a practice miscategorized as one that transcends identity — might be precisely the form for centering identity. In Undercover, the viewer is invited to consider how these recent paintings offer a platform for meaningful questions around race, gender, sexuality and the visual.
