Anxious Man
Description

Porcelain.

10.5" diameter.

Limited edition of 175.

Sold in mint, unused condition, as issued.

Originally produced by the Artist Plate Project to raise money for the homeless.

 

A restless face fills the circular surface, its looping eyes and gridded mouth emerging from a dense black field. Pale, scratch-like lines and irregular marks at the rim keep the image in motion, making the contrast between a familiar domestic plate and an unsettled expression particularly striking. Johnson condenses a powerful emotional presence into a spare, graphic arrangement.

All works are supplied with a Certificate of Authenticity issued by Dovehouse Contemporary.

The Artist

Rashid Johnson

Rashid Johnson is an American conceptual post-black artist born in Chicago in 1977. He is a painter, photographer and sculptor whose work is known for combining natural and spiritual sciences to depict and augment black history. In his early career he used an innovative photo printing process that gave his prints a textured finish reminiscent of paint, a process that led the New York Times to describe his work as “spectacularly rich”.
