Nicodim presents Crossing by Devin B. Johnson, the artist’s most focused body of work to date. Engaging histories of representation, diasporic memory, and urban movement, the series draws on Spivak, Bearden, and Careri. Johnson’s paintings interlace Black memory, movement, and lived experience. Through layered mark-making and material exploration, Crossing becomes a meditation on presence, opacity, and the evolving history of painting.
