Complexion is a collection of different African American youth who’ve volunteered to be painted and displayed at the gallery. With each painting, the color/doodle/composition all resembles each models’ personalities and interest.
The word ‘complexion’ was chosen for this collection to help emphasize the differential in skin color. We as a people come in many different shapes and sizes; Taking each of the models individuality and re-contextualizing them in different motifs and aesthetics
was an attempt to specify the differences. And hopefully, highlights the beauty of the differences.
