glen ligon


On Sunday (March 13th) I went to the Whitney Museum with my family to see the Edward Hopper show they had up. Needless to say I have fallen in love. Not with Mr. Hopper, but with the amazing artist Glen Ligon. I spent almost the entire time on the third floor looking at his work. I didn't even make it to the second floor to see Edward. His work is so raw and inspiring to me.
This is his self portrait.

This is titled "Invisible Man". It's made with oil on canvas along with gesso and charcoal.
