EXHIBITION: Purvis Young
September 13, 2019 @ 12:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Purvis Young was a self-taught artist known for his expressive collages and paintings. Made on found objects, including scrap metal, book pages, and discarded envelops, his richly colored depictions of trucks, figures, and coil-shaped abstractions described a fraught, yet inspired experience of living in the poverty stricken Overtown neighborhood of Miami.
