Kitchen+Glenn Ligon

The inclusion of Glenn Ligon's intimate work on paper, created with oil stick, coal dust, and acrylic on paper, is a contemplative surprise on our client’s marble kitchen counter. Ligon is renowned for his text-based paintings, which are inspired by the influential writing of 20th century titans such as James Baldwin, Zora Neale Hurston, Jean Genet, and Richard Pryor. Ligon describes the materials employed in this artwork as "beautiful, black, and shiny, with all of the racial overtones that trio of adjectives collectively implies.”
