(N)EON The New Eon: Delgreta Brown
Jan 26—Feb 19, 2015
The discipline that the exhibition represents is painting. Delgreta Brown is an African American woman Contemporary artist, she uses acrylic paint on canvas and also on Masonite. The theme that is represented in the exhibited works is African American culture and its roots to Africa and Egypt. The imagery presented in this artist’s exhibition is figurative. The theme is both visual and conceptual in that she uses beautiful bright colors to catch the viewer’s attention and to get them to take a closer look. Once you are captured by her use of color you began to examine her work more closely and begin to consider the content. The content is conceptual in that if focuses on African American culture in the present sense but that it also links the history of African American culture to its history and roots of origin. It also focuses on both the individuality of African American women and African American men as well as their relationships with one another. Delgreta Brown’s work is both beautiful and captivating. Upon seeing it I spend a lot of time examining both the aesthetics of her paintings as well as the content and the messages that are implied. I think that her work is very successful because it forces the viewer to really stop, look and think. What I learned from this exhibit is that an artist’s work can be both visual and conceptual. In the past I have usually seen work that is either visual or conceptual but not both.
