| Event Description |
From Abstraction to Activism, presents the first major retrospective of this important artist's work since his passing in 2022. The exhibition, presented by the Hyde Art Gallery at Grossmont College where Lum taught for over two decades (1972-1995), showcases his most politically charged works, created during the last twenty years of his life.
Spanning six decades, Lum's powerful artistic legacy culminated in works that directly confronted pressing social and political issues: the Jim Crow South, Asian American discrimination, forced institutionalization, post-9/11 American foreign policy, and the Middle East conflicts. While these later works represent his most overt political statements, themes of social justice thread throughout his career, beginning with his earliest abstract paintings of the 1950s. |
