Hannah Traore Gallery is pleased to announce a solo presentation of new and old works by the trailblazing multidisciplinary artist, Renee Cox.
Renee’s photographs, both the new and the iconic, wed analog and digital photographic technologies to facilitate a viewing experience centering joy and reflection. As a celebrated artist for the past thirty years, Renee Cox has used her background in fashion photography, graphic design (for Spike Lee, the Jungle Brothers, and Gang Starr) and modeling to forge an artistic path joining photography, conceptualism, and performance. In all her work, she creates another universe and metaverse where Black folks maintain control over their representation.
By presenting both new and old works, Hannah Traore Gallery hopes to highlight Cox’s steadfast devotion to self-portraiture and social commentary, while also shining a light on her growth as a person and artist. As an artist embracing new technologies, Cox describes, “When you’ve been working for thirty years, it’s imperative to stay current! I want my work to rule the world and have that world created by me.”
