Glenn Ligon

Glenn Ligon studied at Wesleyan University, Middeltown, Connecticut until 1992. In the course of his art education, his love of literature evolved into a fascination with the political and social uses of language, which informs much of his current work. Ligon's paintings and prints give weight and force to the written word, as they contemplate issues about the formation and perception of identity and race. Ligon lives and works in New York, NY.
