Cousin Shirley - Albert Chong
One of my faaaaaaaavorite artists is Jamaican mixed media artist - Albert Chong. I was first introduced to him in 2002, at the African American Museum in Philadelphia. The museum displayed his color still life photography series (seen below). The pieces spoke to me - so much so, that I attempted to recreate his vision by photographing my own color still life at my grandfather's birthday party some months later (see below). I love the simplicity of his use of mixed media - black & white photos against vivid colored flowers is breathtaking. Meet Albert Chong.
