Top of the World Observation Level

Baltimore native Ernest Shaw Jr.'s solo show “Continuous Line” is on view at the Top of the World Observation Level through Sunday, April 17, 2022.In this exhibition presented by the Baltimore Office of Promotion &amp; The Arts, Shaw examines the uninterrupted, unremitting connection between continental African traditional culture and Africans dispersed throughout the diaspora, with a particular lens focused on the United States of America. Through his layered images, Shaw dispels the myth that the Black American has been totally separated and stripped of their name, culture, language, and history.Contemplating his pieces, Shaw says, “My artworks are more reflective of my observations than my words, hopefully.” It is this balance and optimism Shaw embodies that makes him the epitome of what Baltimore City curator Kirk Shannon-Butts calls “The Baltimore Movement.” The Baltimore Movement is a group of Baltimore-based artists whose work reflects the creative morals and social expressions deeply rooted in the Baltimore City landscape — family, community, body, spirit, and reckoning. At this movement’s forefront, Shaw’s broad vision encapsulates and manifests the global story taking place up and down blocks all over the City. Regarding Shaw’s selection for this exhibition, Shannon-Butts says, “It was a no brainer for me. Shaw is the cornerstone of The Baltimore Movement, which the entire art world is only just beginning to recognize.”Go to https://www.viewbaltimore.org/ to plan your visit to Top of the World Observation Level.
