Collection

Tim Tadder / Black is a Color

Creator

Tim Tadder

Description

When primary colors are mixed at equal parts, black is ultimately the precipitating color. During the process, an imperial display of tones appears in the swirling to mirror powerful structure & emotion from the subjects. At a crucial time for the nation to unite, I hope this collection encourages empathy, unity & a non-binary view of race. Black is a color challenges one to see past profiling & foresee the beauty that is capable of elevating the human experience. Black is a color demands that we look past skin tone, & into beautiful, infinitely complex humans. Each piece in the collection is named in tribute to African Americans whose lives have inspired change. This piece is named Basquiat, in honor of Jean-Michel Basquiat, an American artist emerging during the 1980s leading the Neo-expressionism movement. Basquiat's art featured dichotomies such as wealth versus poverty, integration versus segregation, and inner versus outer experience. In 2017 his 1982 work Untitled sold for $110 million and at the time was one of the most expensive paintings ever sold. This collection of fine art photography has been exhibited in gallery shows New York and Miami, as well as featured at 2021 Art Miami. A collection of press about the work can be found here, https://www.timtadder.art/press 100% of net proceeds are being used to support artist of African descent. (25% to the models 75% to artists)
