Johnny Floyd's "Hyperblack Spectacle" is a meditation on the liminal space that rests between the extrinsic nature of societal perception and the intrinsic experimental reality of Blackness in America. In his first solo exhibition, Floyd presents a series of surrealistic portraits that act as a portal to a world which the Black Body is disconnected from a historically oppressive gaze in an attempt to reclaim the perspective from which traditional standards of beauty and aesthetics have emerged in the classic western artistic canon.
Following the opening reception, the exhibit will be on display through November 13.
