Carolyn Lawrence

Carolyn Lawrence is an African American artist born in 1940 and is active in Chicago Illinois, she is a founding member of the artist collective Africoba an African-American artists'collective formed in Chicago of 1968. The subjects her work seems to be based on are rather political such as Racial Views, Cultural Issues and many more. I really like how her work has a message behind it and how its out there and political, I love how its carefree. I like how she incorporates phrases in her work, it adds emphasis to the otherwise blank background. Her work also has a lot of movement to it. I also love the bold and contrasting colors throughout all of her pieces.
