LaKela Brown’s sculptural relief works evoke ancient art forms such as hieroglyphic wall carvings or cuneiform relief tablets with imagery that references 1990s hip-hop culture. By hearkening back to ancient Greco-Roman methods of mark making, Brown presents a mediation on how objects are historicized, represented, and abstracted in a museological context. Brown has recently been featured in exhibitions at galleries such as Reyes Projects in Detroit and Lars Friedrich Gallery in Berlin.
