Vielmetter Los Angeles is thrilled to announce the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego’s acquisition of Rodney McMillian’s work double rainbow, (2025) as part of the Louise R. and Robert S. Harper Fund.

Included in McMillian’s solo exhibition Some lives in the sunshine at the gallery earlier this year, the painting features a black double rainbow constructed from chicken wire and duck cloth used in his sculptures, its arcs anchored by a dramatic sky swirling with teal, pink, and black house paint. The rainbow appears as a thick, monochromatic, intestinal form, ruptured and cleft in places. McMillian’s practice spans painting, video, sculpture, and installation and is grounded in research into the intersections of race, class, and power as they shape both the history and present of American lives and land.
