The Museum of African American Art (MAAA) will present a collection of his stunning art with the exhibit, “Evolving Art Practice, Rags to the Revival Series,” a thirty year review which opens Sunday, July 2 and runs through Sunday, September 24. The presentation will juxtapose two of Hoyes’ defining methodologies. His “Rag Series” is a spontaneous technique, using a rag laden with ink, cast onto paper as a fisherman would cast his net in the sea. When lifted a print remains suggesting and delineating forms, mass and movement. Hoyes then adds details that further lift the imagery into compositions with vitality and power. In contrast, his popular “Revival Series” reflects the vibrancy of his Jamaica roots in living Primary Colors. Hoyes conveys rhythmic movement, deliberate intensity and spiritual forwardness that splashes across the canvas. The Museum of African American Art is located on the third floor of Macy’s in Baldwin Hills Crenshaw Plaza, at 4005 Crenshaw Blvd. in Los Angeles, CA.
