January 14 – February 17, 2022 In 2009, the FGCU Art Galleries first presented its collection of Purvis Young’s work to the university and community as a celebration of a gift from Miami’s Rubell Family Collection. This year, in celebration of African American talent, history and art, the galleries are presenting Purvis Young’s work in two arenas: the FGCU ArtLab and the Black History Museum of Fort Myers. Purvis Young worked with materials that he found, recycled, put together, recreated and constructed. His contextually uncluttered approach to art made no assumptions about what should or should not be used to produce his works, or how such materials should be combined. Born in 1943 in Miami’s Liberty City neighborhood, Young is most associated with the Overtown neighborhood where he settled in his 20s. Young’s work touched on social and racial themes, depicting the struggles and joys of Miami’s poor black community, but the story he recorded in paint is the story of everywhere. His concerns were universal. His view from the street was the view of the people. Heads, figures, animals and icons appear within the abstractions of his layered and complex compositions. Sponsored by Gene and Lee Seidler; the State of Florida, Department of State, Division of Arts and Culture and the Florida Council on Arts and Culture; and WGCU Public MediaThe Galleries are open Monday-Friday from 10:00 am-4:00 pm, and closed weekends, all FGCU hollidays and breaks, and for the summer.

January 28 – March 3, 2022 Social injustice and the economic and political structures that perpetuate oppression, racism in America, the refugee crisis and the current global political environment, are all issues that have been subjects in Travis Somerville’s work. He often uses stereotypical and confrontational racial imagery for its nostalgic familiarity, asking the viewer to confront their internal feelings about racism and class struggle. Somerville grew up in the Southern United States in the tumultuous 1960's and 70's surrounded by the Southern gentility that harbored underlying racism and hostility. These social dualities, contradictions and hypocrisies are exposed in his work paintings, drawings, sculptures and installations.
