Beschreibung
Frank Morrisons (b. 1971, lives in Atlanta) dynamic urban-mannerist images celebrate Black Americans resilience and dignity in everyday life. A child born into the realities of Americas structural inequities, the painter and illustrator knows firsthand that creativity and community have always found ways to rise, thriving even in the face of exclusion. Hip-hop and graffiti are resistance. Rather than repeating the old stories of struggle, this book celebrates the beauty, ingenuity, and strength that have always lived in marginalized neighborhoods. The book documents Morrisons recent exhibitions, one of which is dedicated to young people, with frame-braking images that interweave narrative forms of pop art: an explosive tribute to genius flourishing in the architecture of exclusion.
