Black Rodeo (Special Edition)
by Otis Kwame Kye Quaicoe
2022
Each special edition book comes along with Otis Kwame Kye Quaicoe's print 'Jon Gray' - an edition of 50, signed and numbered by the artist.
Features ‘BLACK RODEO: Cowboys of the 21st Century’, a press release by Larry Ossei-Mensah and an interview between Otis Kwame Kye Quaicoe and the author.
Otis Kwame Kye Quaicoe (born in 1988 in Accra, Ghana) presents his subjects in the form of portraiture where he engages with ideas of empowerment through his bright and luminous depictions of African men and women. This is embodied in the postures of his sitters, who appear set against bright, vibrant monochromatic backgrounds.
This book is published in conjunction with the artist's debut European solo exhibition, BLACK RODEO: Cowboys of the 21st Century, held between March 10 and April 16, 2022 at Almine Rech Brussels.
