About the Item

Ransome's work explores the intersections of personal memory, cultural history, and collective identity through vibrant paintings and mixed-media collages. Drawing from his African American lineage and family histories rooted in the American South and the Great Migration, he creates layered visual narratives that connect intimate experiences with broader social, racial, and historical realities. Combining acrylic paint with found, handmade, and reclaimed materials, Ransome transforms everyday objects into powerful symbols of resilience, resourcefulness, and cultural inheritance. Influenced by the improvisational rhythms of jazz and hip-hop, as well as the traditions of quilting and storytelling, his work balances figuration and abstraction to create images that are both deeply personal and universally resonant. Through color, pattern, and layered symbolism, Ransome honors the struggles, triumphs, and enduring spirit of Black communities while inviting viewers to reflect on the histories that continue to shape contemporary life. Ransome was born in North Carolina and is based in New York. He earned a BFA from Pratt Institute and an MFA from Lesley University. His work has been exhibited extensively throughout the United States and is recognized for its layered visual narratives that draw upon African American history, Southern traditions, and personal storytelling.
