The fourth iteration of Our Orlando features local artists Tasanee Durrett, Martha Jo Mahoney, and Mado Smith. Durrett explores the intersection of ethnobotany, history, identity, and psychology within the Black Diaspora through continuous line portraiture. Mahoney evokes emotive memories of landscapes and the natural world through poetic arrangements by painting abstracted, ephemeral elements that come into being, evolve, and transform in dynamic color. Mado Smith focuses on studies of the human figure in harmony with nature. From mural work to small, intimate paintings, he creates new, striking, and positive juxtapositions where both the human figure and its environment are honored, illuminated, and slightly exaggerated for emphasis. Our Orlando works to support and provide platforms for local artists, advancing excellence in creative practices.
Mennello Museum of American Art and its exhibitions are generously supported by the City of Orlando and Friends of the Mennello Museum of American Art. Orange County Government provides additional funding through the Arts & Cultural Affairs Program and United Arts of Central Florida.
