Aicon Gallery presents The Black-Caribbean School, a debut solo-exhibition of Serge Hélénon in the United States.
Hélénon’s oeuvre emerges as significant within a global art world and intellectual community whose attention has turned increasingly toward transatlantic histories and postcolonial theoretical interventions. The artist’s body of work can also be viewed as a critical engagement with Negritude, a Francophone diasporic modernist movement that originated in Paris in the 1920s and ’30s before gaining wider visibility following World War II.
