Hebru Brantley is an artist who explores personal and cultural memory. Using tropes from his 1980s upbringing and characters of his own creation, Brantley uses a process akin to free-form journaling with paint, working on a variety of surfaces, including walls, canvas, and found objects. Often highlighting injustices and social issues in his narratives, he has a playful aesthetic that also explores the optimism and possibilities of youth.
