Color Theory by Quan Apollo 

in the Slane Lobby UNCG Auditorium

About Color Theory 

Color Theory is an amalgamation of works curated on the ongoing conflict of race relations in the American landscape.  Featuring and expounding on the many aspects of this conflict each stage calls upon the personal experience of the home and that of the public at large, calling into question and establishing a visual language that is provoking, illusory, and easy to understand. Using intersectionality and identity as a launching pad, a unique language of materiality and visual cultures mesh, creating something not only unique but diverging from the practices of African American and Asian art. Collaging and gathering imagery, the immediacy of the topic, and analyzing the well-documented and established history of minority suffering are present in each work as well as the critique of self and the multiple systems that allow for such conversation.

Additionally, Quan uses his platform to connect and create opportunities to give underserved communities access to fine art and avenues to establish careers in artmaking by curating and taking residential commissions along the east coast.
