I am invisible, understand, simply because people refuse to see me."⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In his series of four prints, @GlennLigon highlights and obscures passages from Zora Neale Hurston’s 1928 essay "How it Feels to Be Colored Me" and Ralph Ellison’s 1952 novel "Invisible Man." ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ Dense layers and deliberate smudges visualize themes of legibility and illegibility, prominence and erasure, and blackness and whiteness. ⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ In the viewer's efforts to read the texts, Ligon mirrors the struggles of black Americans to claim agency and voice in white America—an all-too-relevant message today.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣ 🎨 Glenn Ligon (American, born 1960).
