Devin Troy Strother Uses His Art To Wrestle With Issues Of Identity | FREETHINKERS
Channel: UPROXX Video
Date: 2018-06-27

As a man with the coveted mantle of “art world darling” — a blog post by Kanye West famously sent his career to the stratosphere — Strother often wrestles with ideas of identity in his work. Naturally, those topics include race, though he’s vehement about not being pigeonholed or forced to focus solely in that lane. As a black man, he both understands the difficulty of escaping race in modern America and the difficulty of avoiding that conversation in the art scene.
