Current
Arthur Timothy is an architect and painter whose works depict close family members and autobiographical events, specifically in Accra, Ghana where the artist was born, and Sierra Leone, where he lived until the age of 9. The paintings are inspired by small black and white family photographs and are imbued with vibrant colour, added from his memory and imagination, which update and bring life to the original imagery.

THE TIME IS ALWAYS NOW

PHILADELPHIA MUSEUM OF ART | USA | 9 NOV – 9 FEB 2025

2600 Benjamin Franklin Pkwy
Philadelphia, PA
19130, USA
November 9th – February 9th, 2025

This exhibition features 28 Black and African diasporic contemporary artists who use figurative painting, drawing and sculpture to illuminate and celebrate the nuance and richness of Black contemporary life.

 

Curated by British writer and curator Ekow Eshun, The Time Is Always Now takes its title from an essay on desegregation by American writer and social rights activist James Baldwin. It highlights a sense of urgency around contemporary artistic expression, while acting as a reminder that Black artists exist within an always-evolving artistic lineage.

The exhibition includes two of Arthur Timothy’s artworks which have both been acquired for the PMA’s permanent collection: And the Clamour Became a Voice (“e il clamore è divenuto voce”), 2024 and At The Doors with Stones (“Alle porte coi sassi”), 2024.
