Now more than ever, the dialogues of the day play out through the visual arts. Here, the artists who lead the cultural conversation and ask the important questions that push us all forward.
Quiet, contemplative, introspective, meticulous—that’s the work of Chicago-based artist Nate Young, whose works hint at meaning without explicitly conveying it. It’s an approach that has won Young, who is represented by Monique Meloche Gallery, accolades in Chicago and across the art world, as the artist received The Joyce Foundation 2021 Artadia Award, and his work is featured in the permanent collections of institutions like the Walker Art Center; the Milwaukee Art Museum; Flint, Mich.’s Mott-Warsh Collection; and the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture.
