WHAT DOES REPRESENTATION MEAN TO YOU?
Named after an iconic scene from Spike Lee’s film “Do The Right Thing”, “Brothers On The Wall” is a celebration of Black representation in pop culture.
Running from August 25th to 30th at Liss Gallery in Yorkville, this group exhibit featured the work of 6 Toronto based creatives: Alicia Reid, Gerda Boateng, Hammed Abimbola Babatunde, Johnathan Ball, Mir Asoh, and Tyler Tabobondung Rushnell. Additionally, Brothers On The Wall features artwork from actor Billy Dee Williams.
Present and past pop culture figures such as Mohammad Ali, Lizzo, Michelle Obama, Wizkid, Missy Elliot, Tyler The Creator, and LeBron James are depicted in unique styles and striking colours. Through these pieces, the artists reimagine these figures through a variety of media including photography, painting, collage, and digital art.
Brothers On The Wall is for us, by us, and for the culture.
