    Hampton Boyer’s paintings create an expanded view of the African American diaspora, incorporating spirituals, historical sayings, religious symbolism, and songs from his childhood.
  • Paying homage to generational building blocks, avenues within the African American experience and the form of the black body, Boyer’s highly-expressive works probe the relationship between the past and the present. A self-taught artist, Boyer has been expanding and refining his process to create a sustained body of work that signifies strength and depth.
