Mason Exhibitions Arlington collaborates with HOMME Gallery for a movie night amongst the painting and poetry works by Bennie Herron. Specialty snack vendors will be on-site for an enhanced experience.

On view at Mason Exhibitions Arlington from January 13-March 11. Bennie Herron’s creative output in poetry, painting, and social advocacy reflects on the often paradoxical conditions of being. His poetry presents a prismatic lens on his upbringing as a Black man, including close observations of the familial, interpersonal, and cultural forces that have shaped him. Herron’s paintings channel and concentrate the currents of his poetry. Using a consistent formal vocabulary, he depicts emotionally charged busts of figures in dramatic contours, filled with dynamic and often fractured interiors. He has characterized these larger-than-life figures as “mirrors.”
