About the Item
"Red Line" is one of eight pieces in Nashville based artist Omari Booker's series for his solo show “Red Line” at Channel to Channel.
Booker’s new series of work is centered around the discriminatory housing practice of “redlining.” The name refers to the federal government’s creation of color coded maps from the 1930s seeking to expand homeownership in America’s metropolitan areas. The maps delineated areas preferred for investment based on racial and ethnic populations. Those deemed suitable for investment were outlined in blue or green while areas less desirable or considered hazardous were outlined in red.
The new collection of paintings by Booker explores this history both physically and metaphorically through the use of red razor wire, figures, and color. Of the series, the artist stated: “As [it] progressed, I investigated how division based on race has affected nearly every aspect of society in the United States.”
Booker’s work has been exhibited throughout Nashville including the Frist Art Museum, Fisk University, Vanderbilt University, and Tennessee State University, among others. He has completed several murals across the city and is a founder of North Nashville’s Jefferson Street Art Crawl.

Omari Booker
Omari Booker, visual artist based in Los Angeles, CA and Nashville, TN, began his journey as an artist his senior year of high school at Montgomery Bell Academy. While attending Belmont University, Omari studied Mathematics and other more traditional curricula before he finally focused on studio art and graphic design. He later earned his B.S. in Graphic Design from Tennessee State University. Oil paintings are Omari’s predominant medium, but mixed media including charcoal, ink, and found objects are essential building blocks of his work, and are used to create finished pieces. Large scale work has been a constant creative outlet for Omari, and murals have also become a consistent part of his creative practice. Omari takes a process-oriented approach to his art, embracing it as a therapeutic modality through which he is able to express his passion for the freedom and independence that the creative process allows him to experience. His art is his personal therapy, and his desire is that those viewing it will have personal experiences of catharsis. The philosophy that undergirds Omari’s work is FREEDOM THROUGH ART and he aspires to create work that communicates to his audience their unique and intrinsic ability to be free.
