About the Item

Brandon V. Lewis says of his recent body of work… Uninterrupted Black is an extension of my ongoing commitment to honoring the fullness of Black life…its beauty, its weight, and the quiet, powerful ways it endures. My work is rooted in memory, community, and the everyday moments that often go unnoticed but carry the deepest meaning. I am interested in the spaces where joy and sorrow meet, where resilience is not always loud, but steady, present, and unyielding.   Through bold color, exaggerated form, and expressive figures, I aim to capture the spirit of gathering…those familiar scenes filled with music, laughter, storytelling, and connection. These are the moments that have shaped me, the ones that remind us who we are and whose we are. They are not separate from struggle; they exist alongside it, as acts of resistance and affirmation.   My figures often occupy space unapologetically. They are full, vibrant, and alive…refusing to shrink or be minimized. In them, I explore themes of body, presence, and visibility, pushing back against narratives that attempt to define or limit Black identity. There is power in being seen, and even more power in choosing how we are seen.   This work is also deeply personal. It is informed by the people who raised me, the communities that continue to pour into me, and the cultural traditions that have sustained generations before me. Each piece serves as both a reflection and a offering…a way to give thanks, to remember, and to celebrate.   Ultimately, Uninterrupted Black is about continuity. It is about the ways we carry joy forward, how we protect it, and how we pass it on. It is a declaration that even in the face of adversity, Black life remains rich, dynamic, and beautifully unbroken.

Farrokh Mahdavi (b. 1970, Tehran, Iran) is amongst the cutting edge painters of his generation in Iran, with his work being shown in over thirty exhibitions in Iran and abroad. Farrokh's works are easily distinguished with their unique pink hue and recognizable technique. As he once said about his portraits, Farrokh aims to reach “a more material meaning” by “omitting the impurities”, defamiliarization of known facial elements, and crossing over “cliché definitions”. Farrokh Mahdavi's work has been presented at the Iranian...
