Superman Self-Portrait
2004, 2005
In Superman Self-Portrait, the artist employs strategies of hybridization and void to invent characters, personas, and scenarios in an effort to recontextualize his experience with these pop-icons and, in effect, complicate contemporary views on race and culture.
With plywood cutout paintings I isolate forms, allowing me to play with negative space as I employ strategies of exclusion and invisibility.”
