Description
Artist's (Chukes) color Monograph and social commentary from the perspective of a contemporary Black African American artist specializing in astoundingly beautiful ceramic sculptures and head forms, multimedia constructions, painting, and charcoal renderings. Sixty artworks are featured, all related to the concept of "identity theft," not computer type, but cultural, sociological, and historical with individual commentary relating to each piece that contain many pithy and insightful musings for the Black community and beyond. His "Identity Theft" essay and additional writings are a "no holds barred" commentary from the perspective of an African American man on the injustices of history for the African diaspora, Africa itself, and the impact on the souls of African Americans and Blacks in America today. In short, a "Black Lives Matter," statement combining art and commentary. The Foreword by David Pagel is particularly revealing.
