Hurvin Anderson — Green umbrella
Hurvin Anderson

Green umbrella

1994

A lush, verdant scene rendered in oil, pencil, and glassine collage on paper, in which a green umbrella becomes a focal point amid Anderson's characteristically layered exploration of leisure, memory, and belonging. The translucent quality of the glassine collage adds depth and a dreamlike ambiguity to the composition, evoking a sense of looking through time or water. Anderson's signature interest in the quieter, often overlooked moments of Black social life and recreational spaces resonates throughout the work.
