Renee Green and Roberto Lugo employ traditional European forms of decoration to add the stories of African Americans to to the canon, elevating their works to high art in the act. Brilliant of Green to interrupt the fairy tale scenes of toile with pictures of the brutal torture of the slaves used to pick the very cotton the scenes are printed on. Lugo’s works are gentler on white privilege but accomplish a lot by leaving no medium left out of a much needed balancing of representation. #artbasel #wexlergallery #robertolugo #reneegreen #fabricworkshopandmuseum Renee Green’s work can be seen now through April 18th at The Fabric Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia. Roberto Lugo can be found in the Wexler Gallery, Philadelphia. Green’s work is Mise en Scene, 1992 and Lugo’s is Big Pun and I, 2015. https://www.instagram.com/p/CLHj6gCDqmH/?igshid=1dv3bdiko8r6f

2. This is Roberto Lugo. He is one of my favorite artists. He is an American potter. When making his ceramic pieces he incorporates hip-hop, history, and social problems around the world. Some may say some of his work is like putting graffiti onto a ceramic work. I say his work is “beautiful”.
