Purvis Young: A Visionary of Miami's Cultural Identity
As a self-taught visionary, Purvis defied traditional boundaries, carving out a unique place for himself as one of the most significant outsider artists of the 20th century. Through his singular voice, he captured the essence of Miami's cultural identity and the challenges and aspirations of its people. The exhibition showcases works preserved in Martin Siskind's private collection, many of which have remained unseen since the artist created them.

From his earliest years, with his Goodbread Alley street display of hundreds of small paintings, it was Young's ambition to share his work with as many people as possible. His images cry out to be savored by a large audience, not locked up in storage. (…) Visitors to this exhibition will be beguiled by images that look as fresh as the day they were painted. They remain forever Young. -Dr. Adrianne Von Lates
Born and raised in Overtown, one of Miami's historically Black neighborhoods, Purvis drew inspiration from his surroundings, imbuing his work with the raw energy and vitality of his community. His studio—a treasure trove of salvaged materials, functional objects, and historical artifacts—became a reflection of his life, filled with evidence of his relentless creativity.
At the heart of Young's work lies a profound engagement with social issues, articulated through deeply personal narratives. Themes such as freedom of expression, the role of women, religion, migration, and political realities feature prominently in his paintings and assemblages. These subjects, while rooted in his local environment, resonate universally, making his art both timeless and deeply human.
