The default (series)

“In Western society we look at humanness and humanity through the lens of whiteness. By using my own lens and frame of references, I want to paint a more realistic picture of who and what I see when I walk to the supermarket, for example.”

Expressively painted heads of self-contained people of colour are playing the lead in Iriée Zamblé’s work. Iriée puts a magnifying glass upon some of the passengers that may pass us by daily. With the title being “The default (series)” Iriée positions people of color as a standard rather than an exception.
