Travis Somerville, Family Reunion #3

Travis Somerville grew up in the American south, and his imagery often includes symbolism from the south and its history of conflicted racial tolerances. He includes elements of both Black and white peoples' daily lives, such as garments associated with one race donned by the other, and the compositional decor being combined in a way that seems as complex as race relations actually were. Somerville has garnered critical attention in numerous publications including The Washington Post, Art in America, FlashArt, Art Forum and The Los Angeles Times, and his work is included in numerous Museum collections, including SFMOMA, the Museum of Contemporary Art San Diego, San Diego CA, the 21c Museum in Louisville, KY, the Laguna Art Museum in Laguna Beach, CA, the MH DeYoung Museum, San Francisco, CA,the San Jose Museum of Art, San Jose, CA, the Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, Minnesota and the CAC Malaga in Spain.
