Uman now lives in upstate New York but her work draws on childhood memories in Somalia and Kenya, before diasporic experiences in Europe and the United States.
Uman's colorful paintings were hung against rich red walls, a terrific curatorial decision.
I am not the person to interpret contemporary non-representational paintings, especially those done by an artist with a very different background from mine. But, I can say that they made a strong positive impact on me and on the others who were in the gallery at the same time.
