Anthony Armstrong: Fragmented Idioms
Exhibition: February 5th– February 28th
Opening Reception: Friday, February 6th 6-8PM
The social, political and economic struggles of the past are still present and just validity for artists of color who still search for definitive representation. Anthony Armstrong’s work reflects social conscience and technical excellence. Armstrong strives to create images inspired by African American people and their real life experiences. There are three distinct categories to his work. Definition…images that deal with the past. Identification…images that relate to the present. Direction…images that look into the future.
Anthony Armstrong’s mixed media on paper or collages faces the dilemna of race in art as faced by past artists such as Hale Woodruff, Jacob Lawrence, Aaron Douglas, and Romare Bearden. Unveiling of “First Day”, a limited edition hand pulled serigraph by Lou Stovall.
