Meet The Artist: Caron Tabb
Caron Tabb’s newest show, Humanity Is Not A Spectator Sport explores many subjects, from her white privilege to how all viewers can engage in social justice through art. Using not only her own works, body, mind and experience, but also gallery walls, Tabb’s feminist contemporary art as a jewish female artist leads to unique creations. Weaving in her South African origins, her Israeli upbringing and her last two decades in the United States, Tabb’s unique yet international style in art sets her apart. Now working from Boston, her conceptual wall art and sculptures continue to grow and evolve.

Though this instinct has been subverted in the last century as art has moved further and further into the realm of the abstract and conceptual, many artists continue to draw on the human form for inspiration. Few contemporary artists, however, have made the figure as focal as Ibrahim Ali-Salaam.
