About

About this piece: “Here is Ommahdi in 2018 in a studio in Nashville. This was the first image in the series to incorporate natural light and it produced great results. I painted those panels with the help of my friend Jamison. It was a long, active day involving a lot of Nashville creatives, and I believe that the most definitive picture from that session is this one. It reminded me that the best approach for this series is quiet intimacy, a sort of one on one collaboration between me and the subject.” Exhibition Statement: "Figures of Color" is an ongoing project that looks closely at how black skin is represented in works of art, and the relationship between this representation and elements of light and darkness. Taking inspiration from painters such as Kerry James Marshall and John Key, the images contain a painterly quality which pushes the boundaries of photography. The work focuses on the marriage between color and form, engaging with stark Blackness as a symbol, while leaving room for creative interpretation. In a world that's constantly changing, it's interesting to think about all the ways in which black and white work together. This visual concept paired with the fundamental issues of race, make for a life-long personal project. Artist Bio: Marcus Maddox is a photographer (b. 1994) living and working in Philadelphia, PA. His work is characterized by a natural tone, guided by intuition and empathy. He became interested in making images while growing up in Nashville, TN, getting his start by observing local musicians. Drawn towards the personal, Maddox sets out to capture the human condition in a meaningful and cinematic way. His work has appeared in select publications including The New Yorker, NPR, American Chordata, Atmos Magazine, Wire Magazine, She Shreds Magazine, The FADER, New York Magazine, Philadelphia Magazine, The Independent Photographer, and The New York Times. His prints have been exhibited in the United States and internationally.
