Kent Henricksen (B. 1974)

Kent Henricksen’s White and Black take a comic approach to the charged history surrounding the Ku Klux Klan and their controversial racial politics. There is something both enticing and foreboding about the transposition of the KKK’s signature white cloak into a cartoonish mummy wrapping, especially in Black, where a nocturnal setting leaves only the figures glowing eyes readily visible within a black-on-black composition.
