We recently attended the Face Off Art Show at the Gene Siskel Film Center in downtown Chicago where upcoming artist, Kenrick McFarlane, had a solo exhibition that coincided with Common‘s receiving of the Dolores Jordan Award. It was a cultured affair that was in part defined by the atmosphere created by Kenrick’s paintings that were on display. In the interview above, I talked with Kenrick about the creative process behind his work, his general views on art, and what lies ahead in Kenrick’s education and his upcoming projects.

 

You might be curious to see his work though, right? Aside from standing in front of his ‘Five Faces’ piece in the video, look no further than the gallery below where you can see the painting Kenrick produced and gave to Common, a Lil’ Wayne inspired piece, and more in a series of colorful and beautiful pieces of art. We wish Kenrick nothing but continued success in his young, illustrious career and be sure to check him out at his blog here. Enjoy!
