Portrait of Uman in her studio by Meka Boyle
"Albany - Uman is a prolific painter whose kaleidoscopic artworks transcend space and time. Her technicolour, large-scale paintings draw from a rich vocabulary of symbols that have accumulated over her life and crystallised in her dreams, from visits to her aunt in the Chalbi desert of Turkana in northwestern Kenya as a child to the vast starry skies and pastures of her home in Roseboom, New York. Her current exhibition, I Want Everything Now, which runs until June 17th at Nicola Vassell Gallery in Chelsea, presents a sweeping survey of her recent paintings as an entry point into the artist’s world."
