Robert Anthony Ketchens

Robert Ketchens’ colorful paintings reflect the social complexities of the African diaspora, that are part of a larger story of dignity and humanity in people. Originally from New Orleans, he now lives east of St. Louis continuing to paint stories of symbolism, building a bridge between tradition and modernity, memory and vision. The exhibit will culminate at our annual Juneteenth Celebration at which Ketchens will speak about his work.
