Alumna Brenna Youngblood is now represented by Los Angeles gallery Roberts Projects. Trained as a photographer, Youngblood expresses herself through abstraction, integrating found objects and materials into her work. Her practice currently spans painting, mixed-media collage, assemblage, sculpture, and installation.
"After featuring two works by Brenna Youngblood at Art Basel OVR: Miami Beach, the digital art fair held in December, Roberts Projects in Los Angeles announced its representation of the multidisciplinary artist yesterday.
Artist Brenna Youngblood discusses her Gwendolyn Knight | Jacob Lawrence Prize exhibition at the Seattle Art Museum. | Video by SAM Youngblood expresses herself through abstraction and often integrates found objects and materials into her work, many with personal significance. Trained as a photographer, her practice currently spans painting, mixed-media collage, assemblage, sculpture, and installation.
Describing her work, the gallery said Youngblood “takes as her subject the distilling and revising of an alternative Americana as seen through a dry art historical lens. Her work incorporates both autobiographical and fictional narratives to explore the iconography of the Black experience, the methods, politics and ethics of representation, and the legacy of abstraction.”
