Jerrell Gibbs, Come home with me

Jerrell Gibbs: *Come home with me* is an exhibition of 32 new paintings by Baltimore artist Jerrell Gibbs. Inspired by the people, places, and experiences that have shaped his life, the exhibition explores memory, family, community, and the lasting feeling of belonging.

At its center is the home of Gibbs’s Aunt Ella, a cherished gathering place where family and friends came together. Gibbs transforms these personal stories into richly expressive reflections on home and the connections that link people across generations, backgrounds, and communities. The exhibition is curated by Antoinette Roberts, BMA Assistant Curator of Contemporary Art.
