Robert Felker
St. Aretha of Memphis

2023

About the Item

St. Aretha of Memphis displays the soulful icon herself through painted collage of purple and red hues. Felker's process showcases intentional use of the negative while building up vibrant layers of color. "I set out on a journey each time with an infinite number of directions, never quite knowing where it will lead. Getting lost is the objective–existing in an alternate reality outside of time. There is a mystery and magic to how it unfolds that I have no desire to “figure out.” Born in Memphis and raised in Detroit, the Queen of Soul was the first woman inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Aretha's voice was divinely inspired and cultivated in the church as well. When she decided to pursue popular music, the hits (and the Grammy’s) didn’t come until she started accompanying herself on piano.
