Muzae Sesay

Oakland-based painter Muzae Sesay’s vivid landscapes of colliding shapes and colors arise from his fascination with the fragmentation of memory, especially that of places we call home. Through the vibrant Peacemaker Performative Circus (2021), Sesay explores through an unusual architectural arrangement the way in which many of us truly experience memory: as a blending of vignettes and emotions, rather than as a single, acutely detailed image.
