milton bowens' writings on the walls

December 8, 2005 - March 5, 2006 Gallery 1B

CAAM presented for the first time in Los Angeles the selected works of Northern California artist and social commentator Milton Bowens. Born and raised in Oakland, this painter, teacher and radio host has been inspired by Basquiat, Bearden, Rauschenberg and Haring. With a critical eye, vibrant color, collage, and both hand-written and printed text, the artist reflects upon personal recollections and pivotal moments of African American history in his search for truth, pride and cultural freedom.
