Bruce Bennett explore issues of gender, sexuality, race, and socioeconomic status in large-scale black and white photographs.
Bruce Bennett (Jersey City, NJ) explore issues of gender, sexuality, race, and socioeconomic status in large-scale black and white photographs. Love II is a visual representation of Black Love from the perspective of the artist and his partner captured in intimate and informal self-portraits within their home environment. Employing the same method as a selfie, Bennett utilizes a mirror to capture each image through a reflection revealing a sense of intimacy with each moment.
Bruce Bennett is a lens-based artist originally from Chicago’s Southside. Bennett holds a BFA from the Art Academy of Cincinnati (2018). His images have been published by Vanity Fair and Vice, and were included in the 2016 book All Power: Visual Legacies of the Black Panther Party. Bennett was previously featured at the Weston in the group exhibition Beacon, curated by C.M. Turner, in 2020.
