Hectic trip

“Generations” (acrylic and collage on unstretched canvas), by Boston-based artist Karmimadeebora McMillan, at Montserrat Gallery, Beverly, Mass., through March 6.

The gallery explains that the image is in the show “Karmimadeebora McMillan: Wandering stars…for whom it is reserved…the blackness…the darkness…forever,’’ a "kaleidoscopic journey through time that draws inspiration from sci-fi, speculative fiction, and Afrofuturism. McMillan's strong visual style of bold geometry and figures pulls from all aspects of Black history to examine the power of memory and how Black histories are held and carried."

“View of the Beach at Beverly, Massachusetts,’’ 1860, by John Frederick Kensett
