“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.”
