April 10 - June 21, 2025
From Nicole Longnecker Gallery:
“Nicole Longnecker Gallery announces two events with interdisciplinary Afro-futurist artist, Anthony Suber: an Artist Meet and Greet Thursday, April 10, from 6-8pm along with an Artist Afternoon, Saturday, April 12 from 12-2pm at Nicole Longnecker Gallery, 1440 Greengrass. Dr. The artist will be in attendance at both events.
Nicole Longnecker Gallery is proud to feature a solo exhibit “Anthony Suber – As Vast As We Need It To Be” in our primary viewing room which is open daily from 9 to 5.
“The opportunity to feature Anthony Suber to our collectors is very exciting as a gallerist,” said gallery owner Nicole Longnecker. “Anthony is well known in the community as both a professor and artist. His diverse art vocabulary, in which he describes himself as a ‘visual griot’, pulls from both historical and futurist perspectives. Each piece reveals a deep connection to these stories and takes you on a journey of reflection and growth.”

ARTIST STATEMENT
“Narrative and ritual are essential pillars in connecting the past with present and future. With an intentional link to history, my practice utilizes an Afro-surrealist vocabulary as an offset of Afro-futurism while symbolically exploring the echoes of our perceived reality as it relates to conditions of growth through hardship. Through creating reimagined artifacts and mixed-media drawings that feature figures posing as “conductors” or time travelers, I’m fabricating an extended story that transcends time and cosmic location. At the core of this exercise, is a foundation of my personal curiosity and experience of the tension that exists between loss, joy, elation, mysticism and expression. Ultimately, I am looking to discover whether the collective voice of our ancestors mirrors our own.”
