Negroes in the Trees#6 (AZN in da FLWRS), 2019 |
Currently on view at the August Wilson African American Culture Center in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Amani Lewis: Subjective Nature, presents mixed media portraits of the artists friends and family. Lewis’ goal is to show the humanity of members of the African American community, which often goes unnoticed. As a member of the artist collective, Clr’D ( pronounced “colored”) in Baltimore, Maryland, Lewis and his fellow artists create works that reference the daily struggles of their daily lives, and celebrate the beauty of people of color.
