Robert Owusu III
Opening Reception
August 1st
6:00pm-8:00pm
From the era of 2006-2010, there was a paradigm shift developing in society. This transition was an induction for open-minded individuality to finally have a voice in contrast to what the culture was accustomed to in music, art, and fashion. Pharrell’s “IN MY MIND” and Kanye West’s “GRADUATION” are the soundtracks that changed III EYE VIEW’s perspective forever. You can be true to yourself without sacrificing who you are for anyone. This exhibition is a tribute to the nostalgic space and time that birthed a generation of creatives and dreamers.
Robert Owusu III is a New York-based, Ghanaian-American contemporary artist. His use of mediums such as neon glass, photography, videography, garments, and digital art are all influenced and driven by intimate ideological conversations. Robert’s goal is to continue to innovate concepts that leave imprints on our current paradigm that represent the millennial and African-American culture.
“As a creative, I seek to continuously create an emotive dialogue between the nostalgia of millennial’s and the wisdom of the more mature. I make art for those who accept and participate in black culture regardless of what race someone is. I want my authenticity and transparency of concepts to be relatable to the spectrum of all ages. To be able to communicate my sense of the world for someone to understand is all the satisfaction I need because nothing is worse than the truth untold.”
