Evita Tezeno: Out of Many, is an exhibition of paintings and drawings from the collage artist Evita Tezeno. Working in a technique that combines painting and collage, Tezeno’s tapestry is carefully constructed from a variety of materials that come together in her compositions. Out of Many, is a turn of the phrase “Out of Many, One” and its Latin form E Pluribus Unum, which articulates the ideals of America’s Founding Fathers. In her depiction of everyday scenes from Black Life in American, Tezeno’s collages aspire to those ideals, representing, with fondness, the days in the lives of everyday Black Americans.
