Is a multi-part art exhibition by Rafaela Santos.

Rafaela (Ella) Santos is a multi disciplined teaching artist from New York City. Her education in Urban Legal Studies and Sociology has allowed her to bring a unique perspective to her work. She has published works in this field and creates social expressionistic artworks from this point of view..

Seeing Red, is a multi-part series of works that will be exhibited in several spaces including Yellow Springs Ohio, The Bronx New York in 2022, to name a few.

The works all feature a central theme, the color red. She chose this color because it conveys so many emotions about her life and ancestral roots. The color red is used in her paintings to express anger, irony, hate, pain, love, anger, sadness and pride.

REPRESENT

@Knowhere Art Gallery
91 Dukes County Ave, Oak Bluffs, MA 02557

In the culminating exhibition of our third season, Knowhere Art proudly shares Represent, a group exhibition celebrating Knowhere’s diverse community and inclusive mission. Through an amalgamation of emerging, mid-career and established artists based on and off Martha’s Vineyard who vary in styles from figurative to abstract to conceptual, this exhibit highlights the growing network that has established Knowhere as a space that builds connections through art.

The artists range from self-taught and trained and hail from a spectrum of ethnic histories. The work ranges from painting to mixed media. Unifyingly, they use their craft as a vehicle of healing, relationship-building and story-telling, chronicling people and events in recent and ancestral history.
