- Опубликовано: 4 окт 2024
- Step into the studio of artist Bisa Butler as she discusses her background and artistic process. Her exhibition, Bisa Butler: Portraits is currently on view (virtually) at the Katonah Musuem of Art. Butler is more than just an amazing artist, she is a beautiful person with a tremendous heart for her people.
"In my work, I am telling the story- this African American side- of the American life. History is the story of men and women, but the narrative is controlled by those who hold the pen."
My community has been marginalized for hundreds of years. While we have been right beside our white counterparts experiencing and creating history, our contributions and perspectives have been ignored, unrecorded, and lost. It is only a few years ago that it was acknowledged that the White House was built by slaves. Right there in the seat of power of our country African Americans were creating and contributing while their names were lost to history.
My subjects are African Americans from ordinary walks of life who may have sat for a formal family portrait or may have been documented by a passing photographer. Like the builders of the White House, they have no names or captions to tell us who they were."

Ms Butler, Thank you for sharing your beautiful quilts and know of AfroCobra esthetic.
Fell in love the first time I ever saw Bisa's quilts. Now it has been many years and I'm still stunned at how absolutely stunning they are. As a painter my hat's off to her technique, composition and color the combination is just mind boggling because it's painting with fabric!
Phenomenal artist, I love her passion for Quilting and color

Using white paint, and painting on a white canvas is a european standard......hmm ok i guess, painting on black grounds and using high key colors was done by European artist hundreds of years ago but ok
art is not about skin color. this could have been a good story.
In today’s world a black artist’s work has to be about race if they want the art world to pay any attention
You just don’t understand….sometimes you have to listen with your 💜 heart.
Art IS about creatives defining and story sharing based specifically on who they are and the journey they are on. I respect what artists share.
