Opening — And So We Make Our Own Clouds: LaRon Emcee
Opening — And So We Make Our Own Clouds: LaRon Emcee
A dead giveaway that you’re looking at a LaRon Emcee painting is a head of hair represented by a cloud. Emcee says it’s a symbol of dreams and a celebration of Black hair. His work fuses cartoon portraiture with surrealist painting, allowing him to project subjects’ inner lives on their outward appearance. “My goal is to make pieces that are relatable to the people in my community,” the artist says, on his website. The Pearson Community Center Gallery is open weekdays 7a-9p, weekends 7a-6p. The show runs through Dec. 8.
