Even Beyonce ado

‘Even @Beyonce adores #DeborahRoberts’s collaged portraits of strong, beautiful black girls and women,’ writes @sirsargent in his piece for @Vice, ‘The Artist Changing the Face of Black Girlhood.’ ‘Don't let go (RR)’ (2019), one of two new works on panel made during the artist's residency at the @RauschenbergFoundation, reflect the challenges encountered by young African-American children as they strive to build their identity. Roberts explains, ‘The girls I depict in my work are at the age most young girls are when they’re forming their sense of self, figuring out who they are in the world and the odds that are stacked up against them.’ — @StephenFriedmanGallery presented ‘Don't let go (RR)’, 2019 by Deborah Roberts at #ArtBasel2019. #artbasel
