COLLEGEVILLE, PA
.- A new exhibition on view online at the Berman Museum features photographer Kris Graves’ homage to the contemporary Black experience. Eighty portraits and video images of Black subjects reveal uniqueness through brilliant, richly hued color.
The exhibition includes a projected image of George Floyd on a graffiti-covered monument of Robert E. Lee taken at the height of Black Lives Matter protests of 2020. Graves’ instantly iconic image was displayed on the January 2021 cover of National Geographic magazine. Graves’s image poignantly captures the commanding graphic potency of Floyd’s visage—rendered solely in light—visually overtaking the material substantiality of bronze and stone.
