A Brooklyn native artist, Christian Moses works primarily in clay, utilizing memory as a foundation to explore the evolving identity of their city. Intrigued by the concept of the souvenir cup and the emblematic figures shaping urban character, Christian Moses creates clay pieces that immortalize their recollections of New York City. His creations, ranging from functional pieces to sculptural representations, pay homage to iconic underground movements and the distinctive styles of dress synonymous with the city. Through cartoon imagery and humor, he delves into pressing issues such as gentrification and discrimination, seeking to preserve the essence of New York City's cultural heritage amidst rapid change. His work is a tribute to the enduring symbols of community and resistance, safeguarding the semiotics of dress that embody stories of generations past and present.

Christian Moses's exhibition at Keepsake Gallery will open in July 13th, 2024
