Keisha Prioleau-Martin’s work delves into the warmth and harmony of community, drawing on memories of joy and humor to explore deeper layers of consciousness. Through a practice that merges painting and sculpture, Prioleau-Martin allows the two mediums to inform and shape one another. Each piece begins with memory—whether real or imagined—and celebrates values such as beauty, romantic and platonic connection, and the grounding strength of solitude.
Keisha Prioleau-Martin earned her BFA from SUNY Purchase (2017). She has had solo exhibitions at Olympia (New York, NY, 2025, 2022); ArtShack (New York, NY, 2022); and the former Art of Our Century (New York, NY, 2020). Selected group exhibitions include DC Moore (New York, NY, 2023); Contemporary Art Now (Ibiza, Spain, 2023); Dinner Gallery (New York, NY, 2021); and Zurcher (New York, NY, 2020).
Her work has been featured in Artnet, Hyperallergic, Art Spiel, and The Coastal Post.
