Khalif Tahir Thompson's first institutional solo exhibition in the United States features eight large-scale paintings that explore themes related to identity, memory, and emotion. Imbued with a sense of nostalgia yet charged with a contemporary energy that bridges the tangible and the imagined, Thompson creates layered compositions that invite viewers into intimate spaces, drawing from the artist's personal experiences, family archives, and broader cultural narratives.
Cherry: Khalif Tahir Thompson is on view from January 31 - August 17, 2025, at The Harvey B. Gantt Center for African-American Arts + Culture in Charlotte, NC.
Produced by the Gantt Technology & Innovation Group
