About the Item

About this piece: “One of my personal favorites. Jessica Willis, the New York stylist, is wearing her Bottega Veneta dress in her Brooklyn apartment. I was honored to make her portrait, considering her brilliant work in the fashion industry. I believe she is one of the best style directors of our time, and I wanted to immortalize her in this image. Part of what came to mind was the Michelle Obama portrait. I wanted to make something elegant and grand. Royal in a way. She told me she likes ‘jeweled colors’ and I feel we achieved that. Like most shoots for Figures of Color, it was just the two of us. No crew. It allows me to focus solely on the subject without any distractions. I think there is a quiet intimacy in some of the pictures because of that.” 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.
