| An American Show presents Tyree Guyton’s
American Flag Series. It examines the boundaries of American social consciousness
and patriotism. This exhibit reveals a sobering need to question America,
land of the free, America the beautiful, and Guyton asks, “Is it?” The
flags serve as a medium to inquire: “Where is the opportunity,
for whom does it present itself, and when will every human being have opportunity
and equality in a society of limitations and divisions?”
“My art is for all people,” said Guyton. “I just want to
paint what I see and what I feel…a lot of the time, what I do. It’s
not necessarily pretty, its real life, real life, it’s what I see.” |
