Florine Demosthene
This series explicitly examines how stereotypical images have been internalized by both black and white cultures. This mixed media piece, a textural melange of toner, urethane, ink and graphite, features stooped primates or pre-men, the Victorian idea of blacks as savages. These pre-man images are configured in complex interplay of sex, violence, rage and suffering. Florine Demosthene Brooklyn, N.Y. |
