Somaya Critchlow
PM Catalog
Somaya Critchlow is a British artist whose figurative paintings of women explore facets of race, sex and culture through an instinctive, stream-of-consciousness process of image making. Working mostly on a small scale, her works depict bold, curvaceous and self-possessed female characters, of her own creation, that simultaneously combine and subvert the cultural expectations of race, gender and power in the history of portraiture. Imbued with dark, rich hues of browns, Payne’s grey and purples, and using sensuous brushstrokes, her heroines emerge starkly against atmospheric backdrops of thinned oils evocative of classical European painting – Velázquez, Rubens et al – and David Lynch’s hazy, seedy environs. They are self-reflective and personal, and at the same time commentary of the cultural, class and political dynamics of contemporary society.

Steven Montinar
PM Catalog
Steven Montinar is a black centric and hip hop based visual artist. Steven’s work consists of the elements of poetry, gesture, and fashion encased in interactive/wearable sculptures or a series of video vignettes. Montinar’s concepts touch upon the gestures within black culture, the language of hip hop, and appropriation as an act of reparation. His pieces explore ownership and the unification of thought processes by simultaneously highlighting systematic oppression and paying homage to the contributions of black society. An investigation into how the dominant white gaze plays a role in black existence has led to an evolution of works that synthesize black experiences for a wider audience. The vessel in which a concept lies can always make a topic, no matter how niche, approachable to all audiences. However, this approach also develops a layer within a work that can only be uncovered by an audience who has experienced life as a black body. Montinar’s work has been featured at the Children’s Museum of Pittsburgh, Pittsburgh’s Cultural District, Printed Matter Inc., Hyperallergic, Garage Magazine, and has been acquired for permanent collection at the Whitney Museum of American Art, The Metropolitan Museum of Art, and Museum of Modern Art.
