Abigail Ekue Photography presents the first exhibit of her fine art portrait series, Black in Black and White. The ongoing series features Black creatives and visionaries in dynamic black and white portraits. This first large-scale exhibit of 48 portraits featuring Black artists, artisans and creatives from various disciplines ranging from music, film, publishing as well as fellow photographers.
B&W photography is a timeless medium to display the array of Blackness that exists in the diaspora. The tactile quality of B&W photography also makes it a great medium to display the richness and beauty of the subjects' features. The white background creates a high contrast to the subject. Everything is stripped away and we're left with the subject and their story.
During the Opening Reception on Saturday, September 28, guests will be able to meet the artist and artists photographed for the series.
Enjoy a glass of wine, sparkling water or a specialty cocktail created by Brunch God Garvey Alexander, as seen on NBC's Today Show.
