LaKela Brown
Visual Arts Lecture Series (VALS)—Fall 2024OPEN TO THE PUBLIC | LaKela Brown is a Detroit-born, New York-based visual artist. She received a BFA in 2005 from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit. Her sculptural relief works evoke ancient art forms such as hieroglyphic wall carvings or cuneiform relief tablets, with imagery that references 1990s hip-hop culture. Brown's works are presented as artifacts from another era that have been discovered and placed on display for an examination that is as much anthropological as aesthetic. By hearkening back to ancient Greco-Roman methods of mark-making, Brown presents a meditation on how objects are historicized, represented, and abstracted in a museological context.
