Elliott Jerome Brown Jr.
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In 2017, Brown graduated with a BFA from New York University[3][4] at the Tisch School of Arts. They also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in 2017.[4]
Work
Brown's work is inspired by Deana Lawson, Carrie Mae Weems, and Lorna Simpson.[3] Their work started with a focus on self portraiture to examine the complexities of gender and identity.[4] Brown's work speaks to the black queer body by using the intimacy of portraiture as a means to question preconceived notions of maleness and blackness.[5]
Brown has been commissioned by media outlets and fashion designers, including New York Magazine,[3] Gayletter Magazine,[3] The New Yorker,[6][7] Vice,[8] Teen Vogue, Dazed, W Magazine,[9][10] and Telfar Clemens.[11] Their work has been featured by W Magazine,[12][13] Vice,[4] and The Fader.[3]
In 2017, Brown co-curated the seventh annual "Zine and Self-Published Photo Book Fair" with Devin N. Morris, titled Rock Paper Scissors and a Three-Armed Shovel.[14]
