Torkwase Dyson

Torkwase Dyson is an abstract painter and sculptor whose work examines the relationship between architecture, infrastructure, and the natural environment through the lens of black spatial liberation. Her geometric abstractions draw upon the history of the Underground Railroad and black geographies to explore how space can be both confining and liberating. Dyson has exhibited widely including at the Studio Museum in Harlem, the Whitney Museum, and represented the United States at the 2019 Venice Biennale collateral events.
