SUMMARY:EXHIBITION: Malik Greene "Stories About My Brothers"
DESCRIPTION:Malik Greene (b.1997)\, a South Carolina-based artist started working professionally in 2021 after earning his Bachelor in Psychology from Coastal Carolina University in 2019. His latest work will be featured in Stories About My Brothers in the Milliken Art Gallery beginning August 28\, 2025. \nGreene states\, “This exhibition catalyzes a dialogue regarding young black men who are either going through adolescence or exhibiting the scars from their survival. These depictions\, which give the viewer an intimate and sympathetic look into the lives of people who might not look like themselves\, show how art has the power to speak to all people.”\n \n“These depictions\, which give the viewer an intimate and sympathetic look into the lives of people who might not look like themselves\, show how art has the power to speak to all people.” \nGreene is a self-taught artist whose development of his painterly style has been aided by media such as manga and animation. By connecting himself to the numerous facets of historical\, political\, and popular culture\, he hopes to capture an intimate personal narrative through his art\, enabling him to reveal his truth. His art conveys a narrative of his life\, his aspirations\, and the minute details that influence his perception of reality. \nStories About My Brothers will run from August 28 – September 25\, 2025. Greene will present a Gallery Talk on September 4 at 6:00 PM in the gallery followed by a reception from 6:30-8:00 PM. \nThe exhibition is located in the Milliken Art Gallery and is free of charge. Gallery hours are Sunday 2:00-5:00 PM\, Monday – Friday 9:00 AM-5:00 PM. The Gallery is closed during school holidays. \n\nMalik Greene’s website
