So Icey

A vibrant collage on paper by Rashaad Newsome, *So Icey* layers fragmented imagery and bold visual elements to explore themes of Black identity, luxury, and cultural currency. Newsome draws from hip-hop aesthetics and heraldic traditions, weaving together symbols of status and self-expression into a dynamic, multivalent composition. The work reflects his ongoing interrogation of power, representation, and the codes through which marginalized communities assert visibility and value.
