Press Release
Each work in the leisure series depicts individuals together, celebrating or enjoying time together. The looseness of figures, juxtaposed with the starkness and clarity of the backgrounds lends space for viewers to hone in on the subjects at rest. Each in their own state of contentment, the compositions provide a narrative often unseen. Gillespie provides a story of the Black family in variations of moments in time that capture a beauty of togetherness and human connectivity.
