It's My House!

Alex Asher Daniel and Adia Millett have come together to create a body of work inspired by their artistic practices and spiritual journeys. 

At the beginning of 2021, they began an in-depth conversation around their art making process as it relates to human interconnection, multidimensional realms, and the constant emergence of who we are. The endless parallels in their lives united their vastly different creative styles. Questions about space, our bodies and energetic fields became the starting point for their collaboration. 

Through the exploration of how to integrate their visual voices, the artists developed a series of paintings that intertwine the human figure within a celestial abstract space.

Adia Millett received her BFA from the University of California, Berkeley and an MFA from the California Institute of Arts. She was an artist-in-Residence at the Whitney Museum Independent Study Program and the Studio Museum in Harlem. 

She has exhibited at prominent institutions including the New Museum, New York; P.S. 1, New York; Museum of the African Diaspora, San Francisco; Oakland Museum, CA; Crocker Art Museum, Sacramento; Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, San Francisco; Santa Monica Museum of Art, CA; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Atlanta; The Contemporary Art Center, New Orleans; Barbican Gallery, London, San Jose Quilt and Textile Museum; and at the California African American Museum, Los Angeles, which hosted a critically acclaimed solo exhibition of her work in 2019. 

Millett has taught at Columbia College in Chicago, UC Santa Cruz, Cooper Union in NY, and California College of the Arts. Millett currently lives and works in Oakland, California. 
 

Alex Asher Daniel is an American-born artist with a career spanning over three decades working in multiple disciplines with a practice ranging from vibrant portraits, figurative paintings, experiential audio installations, and musical collaborations rooted in the study of nature and mysticism. 

Daniel’s oeuvre of work explores the human form and its relationship with the spirit world, starting with paintings that blur the lines between realism and abstraction and continuing with his music compositions born out of his spiritual practice, channeling and meditation. His work effortlessly builds a bridge between the ethereal and the physical layered dimensions of the Universe/Cosmos, thus giving the compositions a ceremonial, even medicinal quality and an ability to create a space to hold the spiritual being.

Daniel’s work has been showcased in exhibitions internationally, and resides in permanent collections including The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, the Rothschild Collection and the English National Trust. He lives and works in Oakland, California and London, England.
