Rooted within my passion for the Black American community, my work explores the dynamic culture and rich history of foundational Black Americans. My paintings depict black men with characteristics of nobility, strength, and heroism, that reference historical sources. The sheer beauty, elegance and appreciation of the black woman is captured in my work as well.
Brandon Dudley, a native of Kinston, cultivated his portrait skills at The Art Institute of Miami. He actively attempts to reshape perspectives and narratives faced by people in the black community through his work. Brandon hopes to inspire a new frame of mind, surrounding a culture and history that has been negatively archived. It has become his goal, mission, and passion to provide a source of education and empowerment to all that will listen. Brandon has received numerous awards in Spartanburg, Greenville, NC, Texas, Louisiana, and a Purchase Award at LaGrange Art Museum in Georgia.
