In Black and White
“In Black & White” features three artists whose works overlap in themes and technique. Annie Chrissy Burley, who received her BFA in Animation and Fine Arts from the Columbus College of Art & Design, is a mixed media artist who examines and re-envisions images of Black women from popular culture. Ron Stephens, who excels in portraits, some of famous people, others anonymous, renders in a personalized style people and moments that override communal divisions. The work of Aminah Robinson, a MacArthur Award recipient born and raised in Columbus’ historic Poindexter Village, celebrates Black life and community. The works of each artist are inspired by personal experience and a vision of community that is inclusive and accurate in its representations. And all of them, which include mixed media, woodblock prints and graphite drawings, are in black and white.
