Locked in a hotel room recovering from COVID. Bored. Photograph inspired by Imogen Cunningham's Unmade Bed: www.moma.org/collection/works/53557
My photographic interpretation of the recent minimalist work by the new generation of Black painters that are pushing the boundaries of abstract art. This particular photograph is a combined and layered homage to Rashid Johnson’s “Cosmic Slop ‘Black Orpheus’” (2011) and to Mark Bradford’s “Q3” (2020) from his “Quarantine Paintings” that utilizes agitated-looking layers of sanded paint and paper to represent a topographical map of isolation.
This photo was taken from a section of the front of a shut-down local shop, a casualty of the pandemic. The storefront was used by street artists who added layers upon layers of colorful posters and stickers during the pandemic to eventually all be painted over by a shroud of black paint. Glimpses of those colorful mosaics can still be seen just a layer under the black paint.
