Hebru Brantley is best known for his unique approach to Afrofuturism. His narrative-driven work revolves around his conceptualized iconic characters Flyboy and Lil Mama. Influenced by the AfriCOBRA movement of 1960s and ‘70s Chicago — as well as comic books and animation — Brantley utilizes these characters to address complex ideas around nostalgia, the mental psyche, power and hope.

In this conversation with Derek Collins, dean of the faculty of arts at the University of Hong Kong, Brantley discusses his work, influences, and growing popularity in Asia.

Right now, Phillips X in collaboration with Bloom Galerie is presenting Solus by Hebru Brantley, a virtual private selling exhibition dedicated to the acclaimed Chicagoan artist. Learn more about the sale here: [ Ссылка ]
