Featuring work by Dominique Joiner
Mulberry Gallery presents an art exhibition by artist Dominique Joiner exploring the untold story of Roald Dahl’s original “Charlie’s Chocolate Boy.” This thought-provoking collection delves into themes of identity, representation, and the power of storytelling through vibrant, candy-inspired paintings.
This exhibition brings to life the little-known black Charlie Bucket, offering a fresh perspective on a beloved tale. Dominique’s vivid artworks challenge viewers to reconsider familiar narratives and examine the impact of representation in children’s literature.
“Through this exhibition, I aim to spark conversations about diversity in storytelling and the evolution of beloved characters,” says Dominique. “It’s a celebration of imagination and a call for more inclusive narratives.”
