Ashanté Kindle is a multidisciplinary artist most known for her abstract sculptural wave paintings. Originally from Clarksville, TN, she received her BFA from Austin Peay State University (2019) and MFA from The University of Connecticut (2022). Kindle's work is grounded in the textures and science of Black hair and her personal healing journey back to self. Repeated gestures over time manifest as abstracted waveforms and become an act of labor and meditation that engages her body and emotions. She conjures feelings of autonomy and freedom, utilizing improvisation in her work as a vehicle for spiritual exchange. She was a NXTHVN Cohort 04 Fellow and has exhibited her work at Philadelphia's Magic Gardens, The Benton Museum, Red Arrow, Johnson Lowe Gallery, and Sean Kelly. She recently has had solo exhibition at Belmont University and Austin Peay University. Ashanté's work was recently acquired by The Wadsworth Atheneum Museum of Art in Hartford, CT. She is represented by Red Arrow.
