New Masters: In Awol Erizku's portrait series, "Forces of Nature," the artist pictured attendees of @afropunk in poses reminiscent of the Old Masters – offering both a critique of black representation in art history and a meditation on contemporary black subjectivity. The brilliant orange background of Erizku's series is replaced by a carousel of shifting color fields from @stanley.whitney 's abstract paintings.
