About the Item

Grey portrait of woman with white polka dots and a swath of green collaged media "Becca" by Ransome 2023 graphite, acrylic and collage on panel 8 x 8 x 2 inches, unframed Piece can be hung attractively with or without a frame "Becca" is a small, square portrait rendered in graphite upon a grey surface. The character stares at the viewer, surrounded by white polka dots that have been painted on and around her bust. Across her chest, the artist has collaged a piece of green paper with a floral design. Statement from the artist: Ransome is a contemporary artist whose practice is both personal and universal. His work focuses on images that center on his African-American lineage, traced to sharecroppers of the American South who migrated to northern cities along the east coast. The pictorial narratives are personal, yet the symbols used are universal and interplay with larger social, racial, ancestral, economic and political history that speaks to current issues. While combining acrylic paint and an array of found, created and purchased paper, the materials he uses makes conceptual statements and offers commentary on an often overlooked society through the employment of paintings, drawings, and sculptural objects. The history of his family is the history of black Americans, which is the history of all of North America. He uses representational and abstract works that incorporate symbols, patterns and marks to assimilate powerful images that possess rhythmic properties of music that weave throughout his oeuvre.
