A Black History Month Tribute to Contemporary Voices in Art

SILICON VALLEY , CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, February 2, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a compelling showcase for Black History Month, Fine Art and Real Estate Broker Anna D. Smith brings to light the vibrant and transformative works of five African American artists thriving in the underground art scene. This celebration not only highlights their unique contributions to contemporary art but also underscores the dynamic and evolving landscape of African American creativity beyond the conventional art world.

BLADE, THE "KING OF GRAFFITI"
Blade has left an indelible mark on New York City with his pioneering graffiti work, spray painting over 5,000 subway trains and creating iconic styles that have influenced generations.

GARDEN OF JOURNEY, A VOICE IN AFROFUTURISM
From North Carolina, Garden of Journey's murals, such as "Salt Water," blend her scientific background with a rich narrative of Afrofuturism, offering a fresh perspective on African American futures.

C-NOTE, THE PRISON ARTIST
C-Note's art, created within the confines of a prison cell, challenges perceptions and highlights the most censored form of underground art. His work, "During the Flood," serves as a poignant commentary on social and environmental issues.

VAKSEEN, THE NFT INNOVATOR
Vakseen has revolutionized the digital art space with his NFTs, blending his multifaceted talents as a music executive, producer, and visual artist to create pieces that resonate with contemporary audiences.

VASHTI HARRISON, THE ILLUSTRATOR AND STORYTELLER
Harrison's interdisciplinary work spans illustration, writing, and filmmaking, capturing the imagination of audiences with her enchanting narratives and illustrations that celebrate African American heritage.

This Black History Month, Anna D. Smith's exploration of these five artists not only celebrates their achievements but also invites us to reconsider the boundaries of art and the diverse ways African American artists contribute to our cultural fabric.
