INTRODUCTION TO THE BLK ART GROUP

All of the members of the group were children of Caribbean migrants raised in the industrial landscape in and around the West Midlands. Their first exhibition, Black Art An’ Done, was held at Wolverhampton Art Gallery and focused on the concerns of the black community and racial prejudice. The group sought to empower black artists as well as encouraging young white artists to be more socially relevant in their practice. Working with a variety of mediums such as painting, installation, assemblage and sculpture they questioned Britain’s social, cultural and political legacies by appropriating, critiquing and reinventing past art.

Many of the artists associated with the Blk Art Group went on to participate in the British black arts movement.

Artists associated with the group include Eddie Chambers, Dominic Dawes, Lubaina Himid, Claudette Johnson, Wenda Leslie, Ian Palmer, Keith Piper, Donald Rodney, Marlene Smith.

Date and month unknown.
