What's up Glorifiers! I'm Moriah Alise, and this is another Dear Glory Conversation. Join us for an inspiring chat with Demetrius Wilson, an artist who paints the dance of emotions and the invisible threads connecting abstract art with lifelike figures.

Today, we're diving into Wilson's key role in the "In Tender Peaks, Grace Unfolds" group exhibition, featuring talents like Megan Lewis and Crystal Yayra Anthony, presented by Mitochondria Gallery right here in Houston, Texas.

Wilson's creations, "Watch from Afar" and "Flash," painted in 2023, have captivated hearts to the point of finding new homes—one of which I'll happily visit myself! With his recent spotlight in ARTSY as one of the emerging Black artists to watch, and his ongoing collaboration with Harpers Books, it's clear: Demetrius is a name to remember.

Born in Boston and now a force in New York City's art scene, Demetrius is internationally known, with shows from Rome to the Big Apple. His latest solo, "Begin the End," is making waves, and his commission for Houston's biggest airport is a soaring testament to his talent.
Demetrius's art is a dynamic fusion of bold strokes and poignant figures, challenging the conventions of black abstract art. Our conversation peels back the layers of his process, from the integrity of art collecting to embracing Rashid Johnson's approach of didactic art, where questions hold more power than answers.

In this episode, we're not just talking art—we're experiencing it. We'll share the installation video of the exhibition, and trust me, you don't want to miss it.

So, let's settle in for a journey through memory, identity, and the beauty of abstract storytelling with Demetrius Wilson. Stay tuned!


This exhibition invites a conversation about the transformative power of grace in fostering personal growth and understanding. It's an ode to our ability to uncover grace and beauty amidst the turmoil of our lives, offering attendees a moment to reflect on their own resilience.

Taking on the role of curator for "In Tender Peaks, Grace Unfolds" has been a profound chapter in my journey. The opportunity provided by Mitochondria Gallery has reignited my passion for curation, a field that had taken a backseat in my career focused on artist management and art business education. This experience has been a blend of excitement, slight nerves, and immense anticipation. The faith that the artists and the gallery have placed in me to bring these narratives to life is both humbling and exhilarating.

This exhibition is deeply personal, exploring the notion that within the tender moments of our existence—the peaks of vulnerability and significance—lies the potential for grace to reveal its most beautiful aspects. Through the lens of personal experiences, family, and friends, we've delved into how grace unfolds at the emotional heights of life, manifesting as inner strength, a fresh perspective, or a silent resilience in the face of life's trials.

As the curator of "In Tender Peaks, Grace Unfolds," I invite you to join us at Mitochondria Gallery to engage with this remarkable collection. If you're interested in discussing or collecting any of the works, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected] or contact Mitochondria Gallery at [email protected]. I'm eager for you to experience the profound emotional and artistic journeys that this exhibition offers. Together, let's explore the landscapes of grace and resilience that shape our lives.
