For years, Sherald has analyzed American culture and who it chooses to project or represent it. With the use of grisaille, a paint technique that only uses grays, blacks, and whites, she bluntly challenges that representation.

“Bringing American Sublime to the High Museum is exciting because it is where my story began as a young art student in Columbus, Georgia,” said the artist. “As a former Atlantan, I’m looking forward to returning to celebrate the cultural and artistic power that is born in this city,” she added.

“You can't talk about birth without talking about God; and God is a Black Woman.” - Dr. Fahamu Pècou

On the first weekend of May, Atlanta contemporary artist, Dr. Fahamu Pecou, debuted God Snapped When She Made Water… And Black Women during the city’s “Original First Saturday Art Walk” at Arthur Roger Gallery in New Orleans.

Birthed from his mother’s love, this body of work explores the appreciation and understanding of the Black Women as the building block of human existence. The declaration that She, like water, is an essential element that bends, nurtures, and replenishes.

In this exhibition, Pecou circles back to a pre-pandemic idea that had original intentions for a New York Gallery, but was intercepted by unforeseen circumstances. A few pieces from "God Snapped" debuted in 2025, but the overall concept and tribute to his mother was incomplete, until now.
