Sojourner Truth Parsons’ paintings have a powerful sense of narrative intimacy, where we, as viewers, experience highly personal yet fictional slices of life. Like classical film noirs, her works combine dark surfaces, shadows, and fractured personas in a mix of illusion and desire. While her marks and brushstrokes highlight her painting process, her fields of color, repetitions, reflections, and her figures’ minimal forms engender a visceral, emotional subjectivity.
