A World Apart – Roger Allan Cleaves

Sheet Cake Gallery is pleased to present a solo exhibition from Roger Allan Cleaves opening Saturday, Mary 9th. Through his prolific painting practice, Cleaves has created the rich and wondrous multiverse called the Land of the Forget Me Nots. He describes it as “a home for the forgotten members of society and a place where the forgotten can rediscover their history.” Cleaves follows the epic adventures of recurring characters using symbolism, abstract figuration, and distortion of his subjects; drawing inspiration and references from Afrofuturism, personal experiences, and contemporary culture.
