Three works by Shikeith have joined Newark Museum of Art's permanent collection. Each of the three works, O' my body, make of me always a man who questions!, Kris (in blue), and Kris (in ecstasy) further Shikeith's exploration of Black spirituality and paths toward healing. They are representative of the artist's broader practice, which dives deep into experiences of ecstasy as it manifests in both corporeal and spiritual forms.
