GOD IS A WOMAN
by Paisley Rose
Unveiling Truths: Paisley Rose’s GOD IS A WOMAN Explore Black Identity at the Art Base
Exhibition Details:
GOD IS A WOMAN by Paisley Rose
The Art Base, 174 Midland Ave, Basalt, CO
March 21 – April 18, 2025
Opening Reception: Friday, March 21, 5–7 PM
GOD IS A WOMAN is inspired by Paisley Rose’s lived experience as a Black artist navigating a predominantly white community. Through her art, Rose confronts the absence of Black voices in media while amplifying the cultural narratives often left untold. At the heart of the exhibition lies a sense of exploration–Black culture emerges through familiar Anglo-Christian motifs and portraiture, encouraging viewers to reconsider these symbols from a fresh perspective.
The body of work engages with religious symbolism, questioning the historical relationship between religion and the black community. Several pieces in the exhibition carry titles with religious connotations, including The Father, The Son, The Holy Spirit, and The Creator, encouraging viewers to reflect on the intersection of faith, power, and identity.
The Art Base proudly represent Colorado-based artists; established, emerging, and student. We strive to achieve diversity in topics and media, and we give preference to recent or new work that has not been previously exhibited in the Valley.
This exhibition is proudly sponsored by KA Designworks and an anonymous donor.
