Please join us this evening from 5–7:30 pm for the opening reception of 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘍𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘩, a two-person exhibition featuring new and recent work by Tori Mitchell and Amelia Baxter. Both artists received their MFAs from Virginia Commonwealth University in 2026.

Bringing together Mitchell’s oil paintings and Baxter’s ceramic sculptures, 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘍𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘩 considers how inherited images, histories, and forms can be revised and remade. Mitchell draws from medieval, religious, and mythological imagery to construct a lesbian counter-history, while Baxter creates large-scale ceramic organisms that explore the body as a site of vulnerability, transformation, and becoming.

Opening reception
Tonight, 5–7:30 pm
Main Projects
1625 West Main Street, Richmond

Thank you to everyone who made it out to the opening of 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘏𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨! Over the next few weeks we will be highlighting Tori Mitchell's paintings, but photos don't quite do them justice. Rump will have open hours next Sunday from 12-4 to see them for yourself.

Tori Mitchell's new exhibition, 𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘏𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨, opens this Friday 6-9pm.

Featured artwork: 𝘚𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘵
oil and beeswax on canvas, 18x12 inches, 2026

Tori Mitchell (b. 1996) is a Richmond, VA-based visual artist born in Mesa, Arizona. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts in Painting from Arizona State University in 2018 and her MFA from Virginia Commonwealth University’s Department of Painting and Printmaking in 2026. Influenced by lesbian and queer culture, she reimagines art history and scenes from antiquity through a lesbian gaze.

𝘎𝘰𝘯𝘦 𝘏𝘶𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 is a show brought on by observations drawn from some women’s reaction to the current political climate and how they feel that they may find mercy by clinging to fascism. I think directly of the meme: “I never thought leopards would eat MY face,' sobs woman who voted for the Leopards Eating People's Faces Party.” I wanted my paintings to have the same feeling of absurdity and humor as the tweet while also directly critiquing this kind of act. I find that incorporating eerie hunters, bizarre hybrids, or aggressive scenes of animals turning on their humans to be a way of expressing this.

Come see 𝘚𝘬𝘪𝘯 𝘗𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘪𝘵 and many other new works by Mitchell this Friday! by @tormitch
