FEATURING

Artist Statement for Bryant T. Bell

My artwork takes a critical view of social, political and cultural issues regarding inclusion and representation in our society. I enjoy stories that celebrate diverse and remarkable people. My work examines the realities of the American dream for different cultures.  I engage diverse subjects that may include Caribbean, African American, Muslim, American Indian, Caucasian, HBCU’s, the Homeless and Veterans.  My work shares a look at some Americans that make up the very fabric of our society. They are often unseen and overlooked in their daily struggle for equal rights, opportunity and their piece of a dream that we call freedom in America. Some broke the rules and changed the world. They continue to teach us to remember our history and honor our past.
Painting is a great stress reliever for me. I paint what I know and what I like. Sometimes I create something unique. Many of my paintings are cultural and their facial features often express the stress and experiences of their every day lives.  I tend to paint facial features more realistically, while their attire may sometimes seem more abstract.  Many of the objects found in my paintings (crosses, fans, cigars, headdress, etc.) assist in establishing the diverse attire and traditions often seen across cultures.
The subject matter of each body of my work determines the form and materials of the work.  Each of my projects consist of multiple ideas, using a range of different media, grouped around specific themes and meanings.  It requires me to research history, other artist, color choices, concepts, materials and approaches to produce new works of art. I thank you for the opportunity to contribute and share!

Jimmy Thompson City Painting “I’ve always liked to snap pictures. I’ve been doing that for over 20 years. Then I take the photo and put it on canvas. I love painting old photos because people get nostalgic. Many of my paintings are of ghost structures, businesses, and buildings that don’t exist now, or are renovated…”
