L'Space exhibition of Conditions of Inheritance , artists Bobby Hill and Coby Kennedy opens tomorrow

The Fine Art Magazine Blog offer diverse cultural perspectives. All cultural artistic language is important to an open dialogue to connect the human effort to communicate with one another. Art showcases 

 perspectives, hopes and dreams. This exhibition is focusing on conditions of inheritance. Jamie Ellin Forbes , publisher, Fineartmagazineblog.blogspot

OPENING RECEPTION TOMORROW Conditions of Inheritance Bobby K. Hill and Coby Kennedy February 19th, 2026 6 - 8 pm Join us tomorrow, from 6 - 8 pm, for the opening reception of Conditions of Inheritance. L’SPACE Gallery, in collaboration with ARTMoney Society, presents an exhibition featuring works by Bobby K. Hill and Coby Kennedy that engages questions of cultural inheritance, material legacy, and the systems that shape both. On view from February 19th to April 11th, 2026.  Conditions of Inheritance brings together two distinct yet resonant artistic practices rooted in figurative language and material intelligence. Working across layered narratives of family, memory, and inheritance, the artists construct complex visual languages that engage questions of lineage, pressure, and continuity. Shaped by lived experience and cultural inheritance, these narratives reflect the power of ancestral legacy and family to withstand ongoing systemic pressures—revealing resilience as constructed, not assumed, and creating space for empowerment and celebration. Together, the works of Hill and Kennedy demonstrate the power and persistence of artistic vision that surpasses social and political boundaries. Drawing viewers into the nuances of each artist’s personal history, the exhibition invites a dialogue that resonates with universal understanding.
