Straddling the worlds of fine art, street art and hip-hop,
name-dropped on many a rap song, and collected by the likes of
Jay-Z and LeBron James, Hebru is a painter, sculptor and designer.
He first gained attention as a graffiti artist, tagging walls with
colourful depictions of Flyboy a child donning aviator goggles all
over the Windy City. Fast-forward to 2021 and his creations,
profoundly influenced by Disney and Japanese Super-Flat, are now in
museums, as well as in branded goods for A Bathing Ape, Billionaire
Boys Club, Adidas Originals, KITH, Neighborhood and a host of other
sought-after labels. At the heart of Hebru s work is restoring
innocence to the depiction of black youth, often forced into
adulthood before their time in the eyes of the law and popular
media. Upbeat and life-affirming, Brantley s work not only attempts
to normalize images of black children at play, but in his creation
of black superheroes, even suggests an entirely new mythology in a
cultural landscape often devoid of positive examples. This book
will feature the breadth of Hebru s work so far, and is the first
monograph on his work. Set out in two parts, this work will examine
both the fine art and applied art nature of his work, with both his
paintings and his streetwear collaborations receiving pride of
place in the design of the book by prominent graphic designer
Oliver Munday, currently the art director of The Atlantic Monthly.
