Some art books recall the careers of storied artists while others delve into humankinds creative legacies. Cleon Greys SHEREN (Sharing) is far more personal; this new tome draws from the artists past two years on Earth to collect his experiences, thoughts, memories and personal moments in one tangible body of work.<\/p>\n
Alongside photographer Adrienne Raquel, Grey departs his basement apartment in the South Bronx for an expedition across New Mexico, culminating in self-discovery and rumination that explores his 30 years of existence. Musings on relationships, family, America and Black identity inform Sheren, accompanied by intimate, color-soaked imagery provided by Raquel and Grey himself. Exclamations like DRAGONFRUIT, YOU GOT MY SOUL and I WANT TO WAKE UP punctuate the prose and photos, granting readers an lucid view of Greys unfurling psyche.<\/p>\n
The goal of my entire existence is to try to do something that creates a feeling or an emotion in someone, Grey explains. I feel thats what were all here to do.<\/p>\n
