99% NO.32 2013

Curator: Sedrick Huckaby's "99% NO.32," presents a powerful portrait, rendered with bold, almost frantic lines. Editor: The materiality is striking— the raw, textural quality of the ink on paper emphasizes the vulnerability of the subject. Is it a lithograph, perhaps? Curator: More like a controlled frenzy, it feels like the boy's essence, his inner world, is bursting forth. Those dark, knowing eyes... Editor: It speaks to the hand, the artist's labor. The quick, iterative marks— a process rooted in capturing a likeness but also about the very act of making, consuming materials. Curator: Absolutely, a fleeting moment, and yet, something eternal captured on paper. Editor: Agreed. It prompts reflection on the relationship between artist, subject, and the very means of representation.
