episode 75: Episode 75 - McKinley Wallace
Hailing from the humid, sun baked shores of Florida, McKinley Wallace uses geometric shapes and negative space to empower the black figures he portrays in his work. He describes his works as "mixed media" and has worked on a few murals in the city. While he's incredibly talented, he knows the key to success is getting down pat the "schmooze" aspect of the art world. Listen as we talk about his time in South Florida, how he came to begin painting black figures in his work, and how those black figures represent a future he sees for his people.
