Rico Gatson: Icons 2007–2017

By juxtaposing these found photographs with hard-edge geometric lines in a palette featuring red, black and green—implying Pan-Africanism—Gatson evokes the foundational importance to black consciousness of the people who are depicted, while also emphasizing the cultural, social and political implications of color and pattern.

Rico Gatson: Icons 2007–2017 is organized by Hallie Ringle, Assistant Curator.
