Janiva Ellis

From Deana Lawson's cosmic portraiture at the Guggenheim to Christina Quarles splayed out figures at MCA Chicago, these are the must-see shows in America right now

At the Institute of Contemporary Art, Miami, the artist presents a suite of new works that confronts the notion of 'white angst' in western iconography

Ellis’s paintings are spring-loaded with overlapping references to film and television, current events, art and cartoons.
