Charles Moffett is pleased to announce the representation of artist Kim Dacres, a first-generation American sculptor of Jamaican descent, who lives in Harlem and practices her studio work in the Bronx. The artist’s representation follows the celebrated 2023 exhibition, Measure Me in Rotations, from which the gallery placed Dacres’s sculptures in the permanent collections of three museums across the country, including the Nasher Museum of Art at Duke University, Durham, NC; the International African American Museum, Charleston, SC; and ICA Miami. Charles Moffett will next exhibit Dacres’s work in a two-person presentation at Art Basel Miami Beach 2024 - the gallery’s debut year participating in the fair. Prior to pursuing a career as an artist, Dacres worked for nearly a decade as a teacher and principal in New York City public schools. In many ways she approaches her artistic practice as an evolution of teaching — often beginning her sculptures from a specific personal story or untold history, she translates overlooked and unusual materials into captivating new forms, infusing them with a wider, embracing narrative and assertive, worldly presence.
