A VISUAL EXPRESSION OF WHO WE ARE"

Commissioned and Presented by
House of Art Gallery in Brooklyn

Jamel Shabazz:
"It's an honor to have Frank use my images as inspiration," said Shabazz. "We both appreciate the beauty of the Black experience, and I welcome any collaboration that furthers this understanding, that documents our struggles and triumphs for posterity, and that exposes new generations to the power of the fine and photographic arts."

Frank Morrison:
"The wonderful 'slice of life' photographic images that Jamel has captured over the years can not be recreated," said Morrison. "As a huge fan of his work, I look forward to creating, not a derivative or a copy of his work, but to using it as a jumping off point in the creation of inspired works that art enthusiasts will enjoy for years to come."
