Painting

Most well known for his textual paintings, which mine the words of recognized figures such as Gertrude Stein and Richard Pryor, Glenn Ligon’s artistic practice examines American culture from a conceptual vantage. His work too is recognized for its incisive exploration of social issues today, most commonly related to racism and homophobia.
