Profiles explores the lived experiences and aspirations of Black people in contemporary society through two distinct series: Periphery and Weight. Together, these series aim to unveil Black narratives, bringing to light the intersections of identity, politics, and dreams in America.

Kirk Maynard is an artist and educator who is originally from Brooklyn, New York. A second-generation Guyanese-American, Maynard’s paintings and drawings detail the political undercurrents of culture and identity in America through portraiture and composition. Often referencing American social history, his work explores the intersection between identity and politics through juxtaposition and the use of the profile.

Kirk Maynard has exhibited at multiple institutions, including The Newark Museum of Art, Montclair Art Museum, and Everhart Museum. He has completed artist residencies at The Studios at MASS MoCA, Virginia Center for the Creative Arts, and Mana Contemporary. He has also been awarded the CFEVA Fellowship and the Mid-Atlantic Arts Foundation Fellowship.
