Derrick Adams Floater Series, Hudson River Museum: For a more contemporary view of African-American culture, Derrick Adams’ Floater Series rips the scab off traditional expectations of the black experience with his collection of vividly painted portraits depicting Black people buoyantly floating on plastic floaties in blue water. Adams’ provocative Pop Art take on Black success conveyed in these archetypal images of carefree middle class pleasures are at once familiar and unexpected.
Adams is a recipient of the 2018 American Family Fellowship from the Gordon Parks Foundation. He has also received a 2009 Louis Comfort Tiffany Award, and 2014 S.J. Weiler Award. Adams received his MFA from Columbia University and his BFA from Pratt Institute. His art is in the permanent collections of The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Studio Museum in Harlem, Virginia Museum of Fine Arts, the Hudson River Museum, and the Whitney Museum of Art.
