Nelson Steven's art is a reflection of elements both physical and spiritual which have their grounding in the African-American experience. His rhythmical, multi-layered reassemble of form and color can be likened to the quality of syncretism inherent is most aspects of our African-American culture. When we were brought over here, we were forced to give up our African culture and adopt a wholly different system of philosophy. But our captors were not entirely successful in destroying all that was African and much of what today is considered "American" is really African-American--religion, language, dance and music--a blend-of two opposing systems into one. |

This is the book they say will make me famous. Download the AfriCOBRA Liberate Images book here. I recently went to an exhibit for Goya Lopes and took a number of photos at that exhibit. I highly recommend you download them and take a look. Also, I've moved my photos from France to individual pages because there were too many of them to leave on my home page. Select a set from the list below. |
