The Houston Museum of African American Culture (HMAAC) is proud to announce "David-Jeremiah: Early Career Survey," an exhibition of the Dallas-based artist’s work which spans a brief three-year period beginning with the series Hamborghini Rally in 2019, and culminating with the most recently exhibition of paintings from his "I DriveThee" series in Dallas. The show is curated by HMAAC’s Chief Curator, Christopher Blay and marks Blay’s first exhibition with HMAAC. From 2019 - 2022, the years that cover David-Jeremiah (DJ)’s exhibition history, the artist has had no fewer than nine solo exhibitions including an exhibition at Project Row Houses in Houston. David-Jeremiah: Early Career Survey pieces together works from the artist’s early series of paintings, sculpture and video. David-Jeremiah reflects on the frenetic pace of his growing body of work. “Hamborghini Rally was my first painting series, and it was exactly what it was supposed to be,” David-Jremiah stated. “It was during my ‘Staycation’ (the artist spent four years in prison) that I became a conceptual artist, because the physical was very limited, and the material was very limited, so I had to internalize and flesh out concepts. When I came out, I had composition notebooks full of bodies of work, and that’s why I have been able to execute the work versus experimenting and contemplating.” This exhibition, so early in an artist’s career, is a demonstration of trust in the artist’s work, and true to HMAAC’s commitment to sharing the works of artists with extreme promise who are well on their way to becoming a big part of the national and international conversations around contemporary art. In the April issue of Artforum magazine, art critic Michael Corris writes “The depth and authority of David-Jeremiah’s entire practice stems from its origins in lived experience, in a lifeworld ingeniously portrayed through a sensitive and resourceful intertwining of medium and content.
