Tobi C is a white, non-binary artist who grew up in San Diego and calls Columbia, Missouri home. Tobi holds a BA in both Structural Violence and Gender Studies from the Metropolitan University of Denver and recently completed a term at Columbia’s Resident Arts. For this body of work, Tobi found inspiration in the words of artists and theorists of color who call upon white people to employ a critical lens and look inward in order to address issues of racist ideology without indulging in the trappings of white guilt, fragility, intent, or denial. Finger-blended oil pastel, ink, and acrylic on stark backgrounds make up large scale compositions that balance qualities of illustration and realism. While the work is thoroughly conceptually imagined, it also holds evidence of a process embracing tension, rawness and vulnerability that is at once academic and intuitive.

By Josette Simon-Gestin
Located in Oklahoma City, OK
In this 16" x 20" ink and pastel drawing on paper, Simon-Gestin depicts what appears to be a young woman isolated within the darkened archway of an architectural setting. The smiling face of a larger female figure looks on from the left margin of the work - a possible 'guardian' or 'protector' of the younger girl. The ground of geometric shapes surrounding the figures are filled with organic shapes and contouring lines in warm tones or dark line.
This work is from Simon-Gestin's "No Way Back...
