Lavender, 2026
Paradigm Gallery + Studio |
Philadelphia
Paradigm Gallery + Studio is pleased to present Lavender, a solo exhibition of new vibrant oil paintings, sewn collages, and assemblage sculpture by Eustace Mamba. In his first solo exhibition with Paradigm, Mamba will be unveiling a collection that showcases his observations of urban life and reflections on the 250th anniversary of the United States filtered through vivid wonder. In recent years, Mamba has established a studio practice of sewing canvas as a metaphor for making connections between disparate objects to create new forms and narratives. This collection marks a new period for the artist as he improves on his academic training by using more expressive brushstrokes and vibrant pigments in skin and landscape, inserting a magical element into his everyday surroundings. While some of his paintings touch on the tensions surrounding contemporary American life, Mamba hopes to inspire a pedagogical shift that focuses on the everyday American's resilience and perpetual hope.

Yikui (Coy) Gu and Eustace Mamba at Commonweal Gallery
July 2022
In a world that, over the past century, has developed into a truly global society, approximately 272 million people (1 in 30) live outside their country of birth or citizenship as of 2020. In America, as of 2019, 18.2 million children (1 in 4) had at least one immigrant parent. Both Gu and Mamba are recipients of these legacies as first-generation Americans born to Chinese and Antiguan parents, respectively. Growing up between two worlds - one that situates itself in the private space of family and expatriate community and one in the public sphere - has resulted for them both in a hyper-sensitivity to cultural nuance which they engage within their works to interrogate the politics surrounding the construction (or deconstruction) of identity.
