Not a Threat – Rooted in Place
Mixed Media Collage Series by Simone Anthony-Brown
"Not a Threat – Rooted in Place" is a striking mixed media collage series by artist Simone Anthony-Brown, exploring presence, memory, and place through layered visual storytelling. Each piece features silhouetted Black male figures—rendered from abstracted, recycled paintings—rooted within fragmented urban landscapes of Newark, NJ. These cityscapes, reconstructed from original photographs, echo with architectural grit and emotional resonance. Layered textures and vibrant color contrasts transform the figures into symbols of visibility, protection, and dignity in public space.
Words like "Don’t Leave" and "Stay Here, Put It Right Here” appear subtly in the background, suggesting both urgent pleas and grounding affirmations. Through bold silhouettes and reflective textures, this series challenges the viewer to consider who is seen, who belongs, and what it means to stand one’s ground.
Bring home a powerful conversation piece that blends social commentary with artistic depth.
