Artwork of the Week: "Junkanoo Cosmic Dancer" by Brent Malone

02/22/2018

This week, we highlight the artwork of the late Brent Malone in preparation for our upcoming exhibition for Transforming Spaces, MUSE. Throughout his life's work, Malone drew inspiration from a select number of models that nourished his profound interest in the figure. In "Junkanoo Cosmic Dancer", Malone not only draws inspiration from the figure of the cowbellman - grounded in a shroud of Junkanoo garb - but also draws from the historic ritual of Junknaoo itself.
