\"\"<\/a>Atlanta, GA (January 8, 2018) – Bright Black, an exploration of American Black identity, will have its opening reception on Friday, January 26, 2018 from 6-9 pm at the Southwest Arts Center. The collection will include woodcuts and mixed media works that articulate an intricate host of common experiences, set backs, and triumphs, that are a part of the African American experience within America. It is a solo exhibit presented by printmaker Jamaal Barber.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

A part of the exhibit focuses on the \u201cAmerican Color Theory\u201d. American Color Theory is presented in a series of 10 serigraphs that are bound in an accordion book. In addition, prints from the book will be on display. The prints and serigraphs on American Color Theory use torn images on paper and text to illustrate the different principals that are used to govern color and its interpretation in America. The book seeks to define black since the value of black must be controlled and contained.<\/div>\n
