Kara Walker was born in November 26th 1969 in Stockton, California. At the Rhode Island School of Design, she began working in the silhouette form. In 1994 her work appeared in a new-talent show at the Drawing Center in New York. Her work caused a stir. In 1997 she received a John D. and Catherine T. MacArthur Foundation “genius grant.” Her work was exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide.
Kara Walker's work explores the raw intersection of race, gender, and sexuality through iconic, silhouetted figures. Here is my version of one of Kara Walker's work. The longest part while making it was painting. I used black acryling paint and a brush. I have also done it negative, to make it a little bit different. I enjoyed making this piece of wark as this is a first artist I saw making her work completly unique e.g. using only black nad white coulours. However its not easy to say whast it is actually about.
