RENEE COX (1960 - ) Atlas.
Silver print, 1995. 254x254 mm; 10x10 inches. Edition of 50. Signed, titled and dated in pencil lower edge verso.
The inspiration for Atlas stems from Renee Cox's analysis of a black Adam figure to explain the origin of mankind. In this image and throughout her practice, Cox uses photography to question the systems of power, gender, and race to explore black identity and displace the white-centric paradigm.
Born in 1960, in Colgate, Jamaica, then, later settling in Scarsdale, New York, Renee Cox received a BA in Film Studies from Syracuse University, received an MFA from the School of Visual Arts, New York in 1992, and attended the Whitney Museum of American Art's Independent Study Program in 1992.
