Corey Haynes
Growing up, most of the “Black art” I encountered depicted Black people in conflict or struggle, with somber colors reflecting their experiences. However, as a child, I was captivated by bright, bold colors and rainy nights, where the streets and buildings reflected a beautiful, almost supernatural array of hues. Additionally, I have always admired the strength and beauty of Black women in all their diverse forms. My challenge became how to combine these elements and share my vision. My pieces are a humble attempt at this, featuring Black women with skin tones stripped away, allowing me to explore and play with color freely.
