ARTIST BIO

Majorly influenced by the South Side of Chicago’s AfriCOBRA art movement of the 1960s and 70s, Brantley uses the lineage of mural and graffiti work as a frame to explore his inquiries. His work challenges the traditional view of the hero or protagonist, insisting on a contemporary and distinct narrative that shapes and impacts the viewer’s gaze.
