My works at Gallery 737 for Black History Month celebration. My idea was to spark imagination by any means at hand, on paper plates, using cardboard, digital tablet and printer, ideas fanciful and practical.
Local and established artist, Margaret Christian, who took part in the Harlem Renaissance, gave me much encouragement. I fret because my stuff does not follow what I see other Black artist doing. If you have already taken the red pill, the blue pill will not bring you back, it will make you purple, but that's another color. It's a big universe and purple has it's moments.
Anyway, Gallery 737 is the display space of Lorain Arts Council Gallery and Arts Center in Lorain Ohio. We are open to all the arts to give our town opportunities to let the arts become a cultural and economic uplift. Reaching out to young folk release their art has been fun. I am hoping to meet other artist (especially Black artist) to are exploring, experimenting and exhibiting this summer. Any Afro-futurist in Lorain?
