The Ability of Art to Affirm our Common Humanity
Nov 15, 2024
Biography: Andrea Packard, Director of the List Gallery at Swarthmore College, wrote this statement in an article about Mr. Huckaby: “Although Sedrick began the series by drawing subjects he encountered near his neighborhood in Fort Worth, Huckaby's ongoing series focuses less on locale than on the process of affirming people who might otherwise remain unseen or unimportant… Although racial and economic biases persist within a globalized consumer culture and often reinforce stereotyping, The 99% affirms the ongoing ability of art to affirm and extend our common humanity.” In commenting on location Huckaby states, “I was born in Fort Worth in 1975 and I continue to live and work in the same area today. It has been an inspiration to come home to serve my community after being given the opportunity to study art at Boston University, Yale University and at museums all over the world. After learning about the global art world I also learned another simple lesson. The art that I am most often occupied with is about the themes, people and places of my home-town. I found that I could address the issues of global importance through dealing with the same issues within my local community. So, I decided to move back home. Since returning I have married Letitia, who is also an artist, specializing in photo-based art. Our creativity is not limited to art, we also have three creative children: Rising Sun-17, Halle Lujah-15, and Rhema Rain-7.”Huckaby is represented by Talley Dunn Gallery in Dallas. |
