关于此艺术品
The Broken Five — Rashid Johnson
Johnson began his career as a photographer in his native Chicago in the late 1990s with poignant portraits of Black male acquaintances whose strength and vulnerability were echoed in his prints’ deep brown hues. Since then, he has expanded his practice to include wall reliefs and sculptural environments that display an array of cultural artefacts (Richard Wright novels, Sun Ra records) and masses of shea butter and black soap (products widely used and admired by Diasporic Africans for their ties to homeopathic traditions on that continent). More recently—beginning with the artist’s personal commitment to sobriety in 2014 and continuing with the violent rhetoric of the 2016 presidential election, endless police killings of unarmed Black Americans, a burgeoning world refugee crisis, and countless other sources of sociopolitical and emotional turmoil—Johnson has turned his focus to paintings on mosaic ground of figures whose kaleidoscopic raiment and sparkling surrounds belie their seemingly anguished, shocked countenances. Are Johnson’s Broken Men the stand-ins for a fragile self, shattered by loss and worry? Are they watchmen and witnesses to the world’s horrors? Or are they angelic messengers on the threshold of some other strange and wonderful place?
艺术家与博物馆
出生地 Chicago, United States of America
Born in the heart of Chicago in 1977, Rashid Johnson emerged as a defining force in the contemporary art world through a practice that seamlessly weaves together personal narrative and broader historical inquiry. His journey began with the lens of a camera, capturing poignant, deep-hued portraits of his community in the late 1990s, where the strength and vulnerability of his subjects were echoed in the very tones of his prints. This early focus on Black masculinity provided the foundation for what would become a much more expansive, multi-disciplinary exploration. A pivotal moment arrived in 2001, when Johnson was featured in the landmark Freestyle exhibition at the Studio Museum in Harlem, curated by Thelma Golden. This introduction to the global stage established him as a vital participant in the discourse of post-black art, a movement that seeks to navigate identity without being confined by it.
Johnson’s work is a profound meditation on materiality, where the very substances used to create his art carry heavy historical and cultural weight. He does not merely paint or sculpt; he assembles layers of meaning using elements that bridge the gap between scientific inquiry and the lived experience of the African Diaspora. His practice often integrates specific, evocative components:
Pigmented resins and mirrored tiles, which reflect both the viewer and the fragmented nature of identity.
Shea butter and black soap, materials deeply rooted in West African traditions that ground his conceptual explorations in physical, ancestral reality.
Cultural artifacts, such as Sun Ra records and literature by Richard Wright, which serve as intellectual anchors within his sculptural environments.
Through celebrated series like the Bruise Paintings and Surrender Paintings, Johnson utilizes layered surfaces to evoke a sense of resilience amidst trauma. The textures are often visceral, bearing the marks of process and gesture that invite the observer to contemplate the intersection of biological reality and social history.
As his career has progressed, Johnson has moved beyond the boundaries of traditional media, embracing video, audio installations, and large-scale sculptural environments. His ability to move between the abstract and the autobiographical allows him to address the searing realities of race and class while maintaining a sophisticated formal vocabulary. Whether he is creating kaleidoscopic figures on mosaic grounds or constructing immersive rooms, his work remains a testament to the power of art to act as a witness to sociopolitical turmoil. By testing the limits of how visual language communicates across cultural boundaries, Johnson has secured his place as an artist whose vision is as much about the enduring strength of the human spirit as it is about the complex histories that shape us.
