New Works - Chris Watts
Wednesday, Dec 26, 2012 10:00a
to
6:00p
Artspace Visual Arts Center
Raleigh,
NC
Chris Watts appropriates imagery from vintage popular magazines such as Ebony, Life, and Essences to create commentaries on the peculiar nature of his present-day social reality as an African American man living in the American south. In reframing these narratives to comment on sociopolitical issues that are simultaneously singular and universal, these images sarcastically seek to expose the hypocrisy of the “glam” and “artificial” backdrops from which these media constructs are pulled.
