Gallery Particulier Presents Unboxed: Black Fathers Are Present A New Exhibition by Visual Artist Dáreece J. Walker Opening May 1, 2026
Brooklyn, NY — Gallery Particulier is proud to announce the upcoming exhibition&nbsp; Unboxed: Black Fathers Are Here, featuring a powerful new body of work by acclaimed visual artist Dáreece J. Walker. The exhibition opens May 1 2026, and will be on view through June 30 at Gallery Particulier in Brooklyn, New York.
Unboxed: Black Fathers Are Present is a poignant celebration of Black fatherhood through intimate and evocative visual narratives. This series captures Black fathers with their children in everyday moments of affection, care, joy, and strength. These artworks challenge distorted portrayals of Black masculinity, and focus on stories of love, care, and presence.
Walker’s work blends mixed media techniques, including inkjet prints, charcoal drawing, and collage mounted onto cardboard and other materials often associated with masculinity and utilitarian labor. This approach gives both material and emotional weight to the subject matter. His use of cardboard not only references objects familiar in everyday life, but subtly symbolizes the dignity of ordinary Black lives and their familial bonds.
“This exhibition speaks directly to our mission,” says Justin Freeman, Executive Director of Gallery Particulier, a Black father himself. “We are committed to presenting work that reflects the lived experiences of our community with honesty and pride. Dáreece's portrayal of Black fathers is powerful because it puts love and presence, qualities that are too often overlooked in dominant narratives..”
About the Artist Dáreece J. Walker is a Brooklyn-based visual artist whose work investigates sociopolitical themes through figurative and narrative imagery. Trained with a B.F.A. and M.F.A., his practice has been featured in major publications and exhibitions, and his work is held in public and private collections. He creates images that not only respond to historical and cultural narratives but also assert a counter-narrative rooted in everyday Black life and joy.
Gallery Particulier’s Mission This exhibition aligns with Gallery Particulier’s mission to present work that is relevant to our communities.. Unboxed: Black Fathers Are Present invites viewers into everyday intimacy and reflection, creating new spaces for connection and visibility.
Opening Reception Date &amp; Time: May 1, 6-8PM, Free&nbsp; 	 Location: Gallery Particulier, 281 Maple St, Brooklyn, NY
