Fan Warren's weighty works evoke the Black Madonna in all her glory - 48 hills
Briefly

"My work is not merely a social commentary but a profoundly personal odyssey through the colonization, assimilation, and disfranchisement of my people in the Americas. It reflects my ancestral and childhood memories of growing up in Birmingham, Alabama and being part of the last great migration North to Chicago, Illinois. These experiences, woven into the fabric of my art, invite you to share in my journey and understand the complexities of our shared history."
"This was my way of pushing the boundaries of art and exploring new ways to create my historical documents or handbills. Since the 1980s, Warren has embarked on her own peregrination, one of creative exploration with both subject matter and materials, working on thick paper and experimenting with a mix of traditional and nontraditional materials and methods."
