"Blackness POLITICS Human activity ONE"
Opening November eighth six:00 to 9:00 pm

Work past Frank Schroeder©2019
Oct 30, 2019, Atlanta, GA – September Greyness Art Gallery is proud to nowadays Black Politics, Human activity One, a solo exhibition past artist Frank Schroeder. This exhibition explores black identity through the lens of an Afro-European son of a French woman and an African man from the Ivory Coast. Like many bi-cultural artists, Afro-Europeans' piece of work is often excluded from discourses about Black identity, with parallel colonial histories throughout the African Diaspora in Africa, Asia, Europe, the Caribbean, South Central and North America. A classically trained creative person in the tradition of Cericault, Delacroix, Picasso and Matisse, Schroeder creates a dialogue between classicism and Art Brut with hip-hop inspired neo-expressionist graffiti art from the 1970s and 80s. He integrates deliberate, rapid brushworks combined with vivid colors and contrasts that are reminiscent of fauvism on sheet, cardboard and acrylic. His option of material expresses the juxtaposition betwixt European and African sensibilities gleaned from a colonial history, that is at the forefront of this trunk of work. Schoeder creates a potent expressive aesthetic that tells his story speedily and viscerally with an urban cadence. Gallerist, September Gray asserts, "Frank's paintings are an affidavit of Black identity in which fighting for emancipation and freedom is intricately intertwined with the mail service-colonial blackness experience."
In the spirit of classical theatre, Schroeder has dividedBlack Politics into two acts, of which the first is on view until January xix, 2020. Like classical theatre, the ideas and procedure of painting parallel the activeness on a stage. His inquiry about identity every bit a Black man in the world is the top of his narrative, and the resolution is within the imagery that gives definition to the African mask.
Symbolically Schroeder'southward use of the mask is gleaned from a history in which the Dan people of Republic of liberia and the Ivory Declension sewed modest masks onto a piece of fabric and carried them in a leather pouch, hence called, passport masks. " This trunk of work is rooted in my experiences growing up betwixt ii continents during a tumultuous war born from French colonial history that inspired me to try to change the world with each brushstroke. This is personal work that addresses silence, endless waiting, loneliness and invisibility that shaped the development of how my identity was defined by others and myself."

This exhibition is a political act equally it responds to the violence and negative views towards blacks every bit seen in mass incarceration, systemic racism and U.Southward. policing. It is our rich stories that build new beginnings. The masks in Black Politics are honorable equally they are a symbol of transformation.

In my own artwork, the folklore of flying Africans has recurred in my paintings for over twenty years, but I never quite knew why this theme compelled me then much. To my utter amazement, while researching my ain ancestry roughly five years ago, I plant Peter O'Banyoun, my third bully-grandfather who escaped from bondage in Kentucky and fled to Canada to exist free. Imagine my astonishment to learn that I have a Flight African in my own family tree and that I could discover his proper noun.

"All fine art is, on some level, autobiographical, providing insights into the artist's persona, virtuosity, preferences, vision, available technology, and the context within which he or she lives. While many of the works here are portraits of people I know in the arts, the exhibition in its entirety is a self-portrait. It reflects the straddle I alive over painting and photography, and over art history and studio fine art, and marks my personal development equally an artist from early quilt forms and the filigree, to occasional multiple image works today." – Michael D.

Art Investment
The Business of Art: Can art withal be an object of passion? With the financial markets then volatile and our earth in a caput spin, people are weary of spending in an unknown future. Politics is wreaking havoc of what's true and what'south non. At that place's even a new term called, "culling facts". As a outcome, people throughout the world are looking for change, answers and a better way to alive. Artists of our times are a big part of this picture, showing us who we are and how we are living –essentially giving us a mirror to reflect. Times of political turbulence create opportunities for collectors to seek solace in art. Given we are constantly bombarded with negative news, one might expect people not to be open to buy luxury goods, but interestingly, it is times like these when people need beauty and truth from the art they acquire. With these acquisitions, we are choosing to decide how nosotros view the world. Through meaningful fine art, you focus your thoughts on a wonderful work that allows the pleasure of honoring personal truths and meaning and so we may speak in our own narrative, ' my globe still reflects the values and things I hold beloved no matter what is happening around me or the world I alive in'. People who collect art desire beauty and cultural intellect in their lives. With the business of the art market in the well-known auction houses prices have spun out of control. We now have works from Jean-Michel Basquiat that sold for $l.00 to $3500.00 during the lxxx"s. Recently, Sotheby's prepare a tape for an American artist and his piece of work as it sold for $110. million. This cost surge not too long after an article that discussed how the Whitney Museum didn't think Basquiat'south work was suitable for the storage room! Conspicuously, we are left to presume that there are many markets and socio-economic factors when it comes to determining what is valuable and what is not. With this properties, we are witnessing extremely high prices paid for art and new coin from the BRIC countries that are overvaluing the piece of work in their eagerness to bear witness their status in the global society. Despite this toll surge, I continue to discover testify that virtually collectors are becoming more thoughtful about their purchasing of work. As a gallery possessor, it is important to me to have work that has meaning also every bit value. The added value comes from existence knowledgeable about the work, it'southward creative person, and continued support of artists ascending on the global stage. Art is intensely personal. Equally long equally you are living and passionate nigh life, this approach will permit for collecting with meaning. We need not allow the exterior world of politics or mass marketing of latest trends dictate what has significant in our decisions of art collecting. Collecting fine art is about your passion, your feelings, and what connects y'all to the piece of work or the artist. For me: I collect art, I offer art, and I connect with art. Information technology is the ultimate connection of life and significant– how I encounter others and myself. That is perhaps what I love most– the notion of bringing people together through beautiful works of art. This concept is ane that the political world seems to not grasp. If y'all connect with the world– you can make better decisions and hopefully bring people together for the common good no matter your politics. Quote: "Of grade information technology is possible to live to live without the arts, just to do and so would compromise the very art of living." | ||||||||||||||||
