Very cool show from artist Louis Cameron at I-20 in New York. In my humble opinion, there are few subjects that have as much cultural significance as the American Flag, so it doesn’t surprise me that artists continue to try their hand at reinterpreting the ‘Stars and Stripes’. The paintings in this show depict flags that were created in the 1960’s as a response to the Pan-African Flag (designed by Marcus Garvey), and were meant to symbolically represent the African-American experience. So there, you get some art and a little history lesson on a wonderful sunday afternoon!

    Have you seen John Sims’ work? He did something VERY similar in 2002 but with the Confederate flag (and also the Israeli and Palestinian flags, among others) The work is called the “Recoloration Proclamation”. Seems a little too similar for comfort, in my opinion. http://www.johnsimsprojects.com/clients/jsims2/timesculpture/flags/
