“Hug Me Around My Neck” . #Repost cultured_mag ・・・ “I want for people to see the work and feel empowered and normal,” Derrick Adams told CULTURED on the eve of his fall 2017 show “Repose.” The moment was bookended between two large scale summer exhibitions at the Studio Museum in Harlem and Stony Island Arts Bank and "Figures in the Urban Landscape" at Tilton Gallery later that year as well as a group show at Palazzo Pisani in Venice somewhere in between.⁠ ⁠ Five years later, the American visual artist is just as busy as ever. Currently preparing for his upcoming LGDR & Wei show in Hong Kong, "Sweet Spot," Adams made the time to create Cultured's next commemorative art cover for the magazine's 10-year anniversary series, all of which can be seen at the link in bio.​ ​“Since its inception, I’ve appreciated how Cultured has used its platform to highlight the diversity of who’s who in cultural and creative spaces,” shares the artist.⁠ ⁠ Derrick Adams, "Hug Me Around My Neck," 2022.
