JESUS IN THE WILDERNESS

JJ Pinckney

JS: As a fellow artist, I understand the desire to want to break the chains that control many artists based on Eurocentric ideas of what is considered “High Art” or just what is considered art and how that can affect us creatively. Its why I like the fact that you call back to 1980s expressionist graffiti artists. What do you want people to come away with from your artistry?

JJ: Breaking the barriers is a fluid situation, it’s different for everyone but that’s the greatest part. We’re inventing our own ways to dismantle status-quo, our ideas are being synthesized as demolition. Black people around the world are creating there own tools used to break a very familial chain. The work I hope has the space to be received from wherever you are mentally, the compositions erodes classical principles & ageism. My work will hold space for all people, anywhere, throughout the course of time.
