german, vanessa (American, contemporary), Power Figure, c.2010, mixed media assemblage, 23 x 17 x 6 inches. Steve says: vanessa german is voice to be reckoned with! I first knew her as a spoken word artist when she performed at the gallery for several events. No one was left unmoved by her performances. Then I saw her powerful artwork: semi-autographical caricatures of the strength of both the female and the black experience. Her dolls are a mix of African power figures and tar babies. I did a one woman show of hers at the gallery and sold every work for the first time in her career. She has left Homewood and bought a farm in North Carolina after winning numerous awards and grants for her work. Although we no longer work together, I salute her enduring talent and message.
