Roberts Projects is pleased to present Between Two Suns, a solo exhibition of recent paintings by Chicago-based artist Luke Agada. As if mapping the blurred and sinewy terrain of his psyche, Agada paints in pursuit of visualizing the “third space”: an internal precipice at which interdependent forces of anxiety, bravery, stability, chaos, survival and collapse must be wrestled with. In a palette reminiscent of the rusted rooftops, rugged roads and gleaming sun of his native home in Lagos, Nigeria, the artist carves lithe, liminal forms—mental and spatial abstractions—that depict the tension between memory, experience and theory. Through his practice, Agada dissects the anatomy of adaptation, pictorial planes wherein his individual study of complex sociopolitical systems seeds chimerical visions of migratory bodies.
