Tyrone Geter has forged a unique artistic practice spanning multiple media platforms including drawing, painting, and sculpture. His ongoing series entitled \u201cPurgatory Ain\u2019t Nothin\u2019 but the Blues\u201d is most often executed with the most basic and humble of mediums, charcoal on paper. These initial compositions are then torn, cut, collaged and layered, creating works that generate a powerful dialogue questioning the slippery and illusive aspects of identity, race, and power in contemporary culture today.<\/p>\n

Using imagery culled from memory and imagination, as well as close observations of everyday life, much of the inspiration for Geter\u2019s work comes from his reactions to, and interpretations of, the events unfolding around him on the personal, as well as on the national and more universal level. He tackles vast emotional and political issues, culling images from events and experiences that he has witnessed himself and through the myriad media outlets available to us today. His immediate surroundings \u2013 family members, students, friends and acquaintances often serve as the jumping off point for his visual lexicon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
