Did You Know?

D’Angelo Lovell Williams believes that “discovering the variations of intimacy is important for Black and queer people because that looks so different for many of us.”

Description

Touch—black flesh meeting black flesh—is a central theme in Lovell Williams’s work. Here, a pair of male arms reaches from outside the frame to take hold of another man. While contact is established and cherished—their hands clasp each other—the work is also about self-love. Close looking reveals that the hand caressing the face is the man’s own.
A vertically oriented color inkjet print depicts a man with dark skin tone from the waist up. He tilts his head to his right, resting his cheek against a hand reaching into the frame. Two arms extend from the left; one grips his upper arm while he clasps a second hand. Looking directly at us, he wears a deep purple t-shirt and gray trousers against a white wall and dark doorway.
