Calvin Pressley: Only People Know Me
Spanning 15 years of relentless creation, this exhibition unfolds as both a retrospective and a transition point. Pressley, once defined by prolific output and unrelenting artistic momentum, now stands at a crossroads, grappling with the weight of past work and the challenge of what comes next. The show brings together a selection of paintings and drawings that chart the evolution of an artist who, despite the feeling of diminished productivity, remains fiercely committed to reinvention.
鈥淚n recent years I鈥檝e been haunted by my own past work,鈥� says Pressley. 鈥淭his exhibition isn鈥檛 about nostalgia鈥攊t鈥檚 about facing the echoes of what I鈥檝e made and a step into something new.鈥�
Through layered brushwork, fragmented compositions, and a dialogue between past and present styles, Only People Know Me reveals the tension between artistic identity and transformation. The works on view, some never exhibited before, offer a raw, unfiltered look at an artist who refuses to settle into repetition.
