Fourteen to Seventy-Four
James V. Allen
January 7th - January 20th, 2016

“Fourteen to Seventy-Four” can best be described as a haunting and honest interpretation of the lives of African Americans both past and present. The works are visually captivating through Allen’s use of color, haunting facial expressions and repetitive patterns. Each piece has a background story that is unequivocally linked to the visual that even without knowing the inspiration, the viewer can begin to decipher it. The title of the exhibition comes from the age range of African Americans that have been shot by police.
