Serge Attukwei Clottey: Beyond Skin

Serge Attukwei Clottey‘s “Beyond Skin” is open through May 8 at Simchowitz Gallery. The show centers a series of portraits, which the artist has made taking cues from mid-century photographs from the coast of West Africa. With this in mind, Clottey explores ideas of identity construction, recreating existing images of names like Chadwick Boseman as well as lesser known individuals, in two formats—duct tape and oil on cork, or tondo charcoal drawings.
