pt. 2: Oakland is pleased to present Self Reliance, a solo exhibition by Lenworth “Joonbug” McIntosh. Internal dialogue can lead us to grow or create cognitive dissonance. What we believe to be wrong can be right and vice versa. The process of creation is just as important as the thing created. Unlearning and relearning. Acceptance. A fascination with something that seems new, but really isn’t. In this show, McIntosh explores the subjective nature of perception, the duality of simultaneously being right and wrong, and what you accept based on your experiences.
Lenworth “Joonbug” McIntosh (b. 1987 Jamaica, West Indies) is a visual artist, photographer, illustrator and designer based in Oakland, CA by way of Dallas, TX. His quirky wit, warmth, and diversity of pursuits give his work vibrant soul while his approach is indirect; he portrays things as they are without revealing all of the answers. McIntosh received his MFA in Fashion Merchandise from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco CA and has exhibited throughout the western United States.
