Hebru Brantley Art Work “Yesterday Losers”
“I didn’t want to use anything traditional because I don’t feel like my work is traditional,” he says. “Given that I have this space, I didn’t want to use drywall and just hang paintings. I wanted to make it interesting and keep the feel of this space, because it’s very industrial. The opportunity arose to get some of this old hardwood and I felt like it was kind of ideal to put into this space. I use a lot a Nike iconography. Certain older artists would use birds for freedom. As we grew up, we didn’t see many birds. If I did, they were pigeons. The closest I’ve ever seen to flight is what these guys can do.”
