Blue Black by Jimmy James Greene

Description

Impermanence is a guiding principle in the work of Jimmy James Greene. The lusciousness of love of the Black family, beauty and ‘re-membering’ is the focus of his work. You will sense Romare Bearden in his work – the collage of soundscapes on canvas. Appreciation of life. There is no mistake that one of the most pivotal moments in his life involved a tornado. The purity of a new beginning is Oshun ever present with her ritual, tradition and engagement. Jimmy James Greene in those acts of ‘re-membering’ remind – while diasporic in composition – we are all one.
