Description
Tender yet compelling, Johnson's portraits of herself, her friends and her relatives are touchstones of Black figuration.
A founding member of the Black British Arts Movement, Claudette Johnson (born 1959) creates large-scale drawings of Black people that are intimate and powerful. Working across many mediums, Johnson seeks, in her own words, “to tell a different story about our presence in this country.”
