Marc Straus presents Truth-telling, Renée Stout’s second solo exhibition with the gallery. Stout’s work evolves from personal journals filled with doodles and notes, exploring how simple sketches transform into public sculptures and paintings. While not purely political, her art responds to the current cultural climate, affirming the importance of thoughtful expression and truth. Influenced by her Southern roots, Stout’s work blends African American folklore, spiritual traditions, and themes of healing, race, and identity.
