  • It is problematic to mention that Brenna Youngblood is an artist of color. First we are still debating what that designation means and why it is relevant to mention it, and second it sounds like affirmative action.

BIOGRAPHY

Brenna Youngblood's photographic collages are drawn from her everyday life, broken apart and re-assembled. Figures, architecture, and decorative backdrops are fragmented, multiplied and layered to form dynamic, chaotic rhythms. Youngblood uses her own archive of photographic images and details, from which she pieces together mosaic-like versions of her environment and community. Police cars, storefronts, and people in the artist's life intertwine, conjuring up personal, social, and cultural situations that are sometimes sinister, sometimes humorous.

Brenna Youngblood is represented by Honor Fraser Gallery, Los Angeles.
