Haines Gallery at EXPO CHICAGO 2024
At EXPO CHICAGO 2024, Haines is pleased to present a cross-generational conversation between four artists at different stages of their careers: Adrian Burrell (b. 1990), Mike Henderson (b. 1944), Adia Millett (b. 1975), and Stuart Robertson (b. 1992). Reflecting divergent personal histories and experiences, thematic interests, and artistic influences, their work is united by a concern for community and a utopian vision of our shared future.

Adrian Burrell -
Adrian Burrell (b. 1990) is a multidisciplinary artist and third generation resident of Oakland, CA, whose photographs, films, and installations examine the intersections of race, class, and intergenerational dynamics, inviting moments where collective storytelling creates space for remembrance. Burrell’s photographs at EXPO CHICAGO are part of an ongoing body of work that investigates his own untold family history, merging the archival, speculative, and fictional. With references to matriarchies and kinship networks, the transatlantic slave trade and the afterlife of slavery, his images give witness to Black life, history, resistance, and liberation in the United States.

Mike Henderson -
For over four decades, pioneering Bay Area artist Mike Henderson (b. 1943) has created abstract, highly gestural paintings that harmonize vivid palettes within their thick impastos. Also an accomplished filmmaker and blues musician, the artist’s lived experiences — those moments that “stick to your retinas” — are conjured up in his work through his skilled use of texture, form, and color.

Adia Millett -
Adia Millett’s (b. 1975) abstract paintings are inspired by craft traditions, the landscape, Afrofuturism, and emotional resiliency. Her work investigates the fragile interconnectivity among all living things, weaving threads of African American experiences with broader ideas of identity and collective history. Images, ideas and materials are deconstructed and reassembled to shed light on the parallels between the creative process and the nature of personal identity.

Stuart Robertson -
Stuart Robertson (b. 1992) skillfully combines acrylic paint with a surprising array of everyday materials and post-consumption waste such as aluminum, bubble wrap, and textiles to create his closely cropped, metallic-skinned portraits — reflecting Black life as resplendent and irresistible. Depicting family members in his birthplace of Jamaica and elsewhere around the world, Robertson’s latest portraits explore notions of migration and diaspora, indigeneity, identity, and belonging.
