Otis Kwame Quaicoe offers a new perspective on American history and African culture celebrated through the form of portraiture. With his bright and luminous portraits, Quaicoe engages with ideas of empowerment, a subject embodied in the postures of his sitters. In Rancher, Quaicoe takes subject the lesser-known history of the Black diaspora on the American frontier, conveying the complexities of the experiences of both himself and his subjects.
On public exhibit only for Art Santa 2022.
