Strachan reinterprets traditional portrait busts to highlight historically overlooked Black figures, challenging established narratives and celebrating diversity.
His innovative use of light, especially neon, creates a striking contrast between brightness and shadow, enhancing the storytelling in his installations.
Scale and space play crucial roles in engaging viewers with Strachan's art, transforming ordinary settings into luminous, shrine-like environments rich with historical and cultural symbolism.
Strachan's works featuring real figures like King Tubby and Marsha P. Johnson emphasize connections to ancestry and the sacred, offering a platform for remapping communal narratives.
