Darkness

Gallery
— 

Examining the
ways in which
we attempt to
reconstruct the
past via personal
and collective
memory...
” 

Born:
 
1964 – New York (NY),
United States. 

‘Dancing in Darkness’: 
For this exhibition, 
Simmons presents 
a series of new works 
comprising drawings
and a painting, which
continue the artist’s
ongoing exploration into
the politics of race and
identity through his
signature ‘erasure 
drawings’. 

For Simmons, the 
act of erasure reflects 
on black social and 
cultural narratives, 
providing a means 
by which to retrace, 
reclaim & reconstruct 
African American 
histories.”
