Byron Rogers

My work is a collection of pieces that express the human condition through the perspective of African -Americans and people of color. My goal in my work is to give a different insight and glimpse of my life and heritage from my cultural standpoint, which has historically been ignored or not seen as important. My style of work has been inspired by many artists from the Harlem Renaissance. I depict strong facial expressions and exaggerated gestures to emphasize the content of the subject matter. By honoring the traditions, spiritual beliefs and cultural experiences of my life. I strive to inspire conversations, share allegory and connect emotionally to the viewer, regardless of race, connecting our humanity.
