About Me:

Kevin Sipp is currently the curator at Hammonds House Museum and Resource Center of African American Art. Kevin Sipp was born in Harlem, New York in 1966 and raised in Daytona Beach Florida. Mr. Sipp graduated from the Atlanta College of Art in 1991 with a B.F.A. in printmaking. Since graduating from college Mr. Sipp has been exhibited in several solo and group exhibits throughout the country and abroad. Mr. Sipp is also a published poet and writer and was a featured performance poet during the 1998 National Black Arts Festival, sharing the stage with such luminaries as Amiri Baraka, Sonia Sanchez and the poets of the Nuyorican Poets Cafe. He has also appeared as a featured poet on a hip-hop music production by rap and R& B music producers Organized Noise. Mr. Sipp has been an artist–in residence at Caversham Printmaking Press in Balgowan, South Africa, at Brandeis University, and Babson College in Boston and other art and educational institutions. Mr. Sipp has also worked as a set designer for Ballethnic Dance Company, a rap video prop designer, and a set designer for movies. Kevin Sipp’s art has focused over the years on his lifelong fascination with the history of African spirituality and alchemy, particularly their symbolism and visual diagrams. That early interest has been the seed at the foundation of much of his work dealing with the convergence of mathematical and metaphysical ideas from around the world. By combining the metaphysical visual systems of various cultural groups with the aesthetics of contemporary music culture Mr. Sipp has attempted to show the continuum of African religious practices in modern times.
