Thomas Blackshear Ebony Vision |
Blackshear’s elegant style is a blend of both Art Nouveau and African culture. Blackshear calls his style Afro-Nouveau. In his own words, “Ebony Visions reflects not only my own visions as a black man, but also unique visions of black people. The designs reflect visions we all share, regardless of the color of our skin. Emotions like hope, love, tenderness, faith, and serenity know no boundaries. My work is meant to transcend all racial and cultural lines, because in essence the physical and spiritual expression in my sculptures are all part of the human experience.”
