Description: "Visible Man" [i.e. "Invisible Man"] provides an in-depth look at the work of Atlanta-based artist Fahamu Pecou (born 1975) from the past two decades, showing how Pecou's work investigates the concept of black masculinity and provides new modes for the representation of black bodies. Starting with his self-assumed persona "Fahamu Pecou is the Shit!" and his early NEOPOP works, in which he places himself on the covers of prestigious art and culture magazines, the catalog shows the trajectory of his work, ending with the "DO or DIE" and "#BLACKMATTERLIVES" series.
