Troy Lamarr Chew II

Troy Lamarr Chew II is a highly skilled realist painter who explores the reverberations of the African diaspora throughout American culture. His work draws inspiration from both contemporary Black culture and its history, examining the cultural translations of various objects drawn from the hip hop vernacular. Chew’s images include references to Western art historical traditions, reframing their exclusion of blackness.

Recently, he walked us through one day in Los Angeles with him.
