The Man of Color Series explores the complexities of black masculinity in America.
His broad practice addresses issues of the complexity of the black male experience in the Western world through exploring the tension between Westernized societal perceptions of and attitudes toward black masculinity and how these perceptions and attitudes impact it.
In his “Man of Color” series, Harold addresses these issues through his use of color, stroke, texture, line, and space.
Harold’s practice is grounded in the social commentary tradition of figurative urban expressionism embodied by artists such as Jacob Lawrence, Romare Bearden, Kerry James Marshall, and others.
His usage of clashing palettes and aggressive strokes creates a visual incarnation of the issues addressed in his work.
