PER CAPITA, on view at Transformative Arts in LA and created from Rashid's 2021 COLA Fellowship, features sculptural works and paintings, highlighted by an inspired Babylonian Ishtar Gate work in deep Dodger blue. with iconography that turns lions into pitbulls, asps into rattlesnakes. Rashid always does a deep dive into history when he takes on a suhject, and his dichotomies of what is and what isn't in history is always a fascinating experience. As the gallery notes, Rashid's strength is how he "uses these contradictions to stretch visual narratives," and PER CAPITA is the artist at his absolute finest once again.

PER CAPITA is on view at transformative arts in Los Angeles through June 30, 2021.
