Hampton Boyer b.1988, US

“My works and practice are ever evolving, mostly finding inspiration from the black body and the environment that provides conditioning. I use saturated color, escapism provided imagery and reverberating emotion from perspective. Pulling references from African literature and folklore, juxtaposing it with a present artistic voice. This voice accompanied by flow state, allow me to generate not only imagery, but give a sense of purpose to why I create.”
