Omari Douglin’s works lead a cast of millennial avatars through narrative associations on canvas planes, mapped like pathways through intuitive desires. Subjects, for Douglin, often arrive in the form of images from the recent past that raise questions about race, form, and identity.

A presentation of Douglin’s work opened at the Rubell Museum, Miami, in 2024.
