Adam Pendleton — Afro-Futuristic (bottom type)
Adam Pendleton

Afro-Futuristic (bottom type)

Two large linen panels bear bold, fragmented black text rendered through silkscreen printing, creating a striking visual tension between language and abstraction. Pendleton's composition draws on the aesthetics of protest graphics and concrete poetry, collapsing the phrase "Afro-Futuristic" into a deconstructed typographic field that challenges how meaning is read and perceived. The work reflects the artist's broader engagement with Black Dada, weaving together historical, political, and cultural references into a meditation on identity and futurity.
