RELIGIOUS ART | NEWS OF WEEK

ALPHA OMEGA ARTS
By Gregory & Ernest Disney-Britton

Nick Cave’s Augment (2019) at Boston Art Center through September 13.

Most people turn 60, and they don't feel different. Ernest turned 60 this week, and feels like he's begun a new chapter titled "silver sexty." His trademark blue shirts are no longer enough, and he's coveting pink and white. After a ten year fixation with Kehinde Wiley, his new artist crush is "Soundsuits" fabric sculptor Nick Cave, who also turned sixty this year. For decades, Cave's colorful work responded to racial violence, but at 60, he is turning to pure joy in a new show in Boston. Beginning God's next chapter, that makes Nick Cave our artist of the week.
