Wonzimer Gallery is delighted to announce Cheyann Washington's solo exhibition titled "We Insist On Growing." This exhibition marks Washington's second solo show with the gallery and showcases her ongoing process of making and using her own natural pigments.

Washington is an artist deeply connected to the natural world. Her meticulous practice revolves around creating figurative artworks using only earth pigments derived from rocks, minerals, and other organic materials. This unique process imbues her work with a vibrance and a sense of connection to the earth.
"We Insist On Growing" unveils Washington's latest paintings, sculptures, and her exciting new path into the world of ceramics. The exhibition explores themes of growth, interconnection, and the enduring power of nature. Washington's captivating figures, both human and plant-like, reflect a deep understanding of organic forms and celebrate the cycle of life.
