⢠For 45 years, Billy Clifton has used his gift as an artist to portray Black life.
It started in 1976. Years prior, Clifton discerned he had a gift from God, but he kept running from it, he said. Once he realized he didnât have a purpose for being here, he took inventory of his own life.
âI had a conversation with God one night, and (said) that I wanted to spend the rest of my life on this planet painting my people in a positive light,â Clifton said. âWe had a lot of misleading information concerning Black people and the contributions that they have made, whether they credit for it or donât get credit for it.â
Studio visit: Alexis McGrigg
Examining themes of identity, space and black existence, the contemporary artist works in a variety of media including layered paintings using dye and charcoal to explore ideas of Blackness as a multidimensional entity
When Alexis McGrigg (b. 1989) was a young girl, she would sit on the front porch of her home in Omaha, Nebraska, and think that ‘somehow there was an alternate space I was supposed to exist in’.
After graduating with a BFA in painting from Mississippi State University in 2012, she studied for an MFA at Texas Tech University. And when that childhood memory resurfaced, she began to relate the notion of an alternate space to the ideas she had started to develop on the subject of black existence and how it manifests in physical and non-physical forms.
