About

About this piece: “This is a picture of my friend Shamir, a Philly-based musician. We made this image in Shamir’s apartment, and he is seated at his dining table. I draped fabric over it, creating a solid block of color. The butterfly piece in Shamir’s hair is important. After he was diagnosed with bipolar disorder, his mother called him ‘butterfly.’ That story is beautiful to me and it’s essential to the context of the picture.” 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." -Marcus Maddox Artist Bio: Marcus Maddox is a photographer (b. 1994) living and working in Philadelphia, PA.
