Larry "Poncho" Brown, a world leader in
contemporary African American art, is a native of Baltimore, MD. He started his
first business at the age of 17 as a signwriter and he has been a full time
artist ever since. Poncho received his Bachelors of Fine Arts degree from the
Maryland Institute College of Art, Baltimore, MD. His art, both fine and
commercial, has been published nationally in Upscale, Ebony, Ebony Man, Essence,
and Jet magazines. In February '99 his art was featured in the UCLA Fowler
Museum of Cultural History Textile Series No. 2 book entitled "Wrapped In
Pride". His most popular artwork titled "Black is Black" and works from
"Egyptian Queens" series has been featured on the former hit TV show "A
Different World." "Sidesteppin" was featured on the HBO mini series "Laurel
Avenue", and "One Love" has been featured on "In The House". His work adorns the
walls of the likes of Bill Cosby, Dick Gregory, Anita Baker, Susan Taylor, and
Bernard Bronner just to name a few.
In pursuing his philanthropic goals, he
founded "The African American Youth Art Exhibition" which recently celebrated
its 10th Anniversary. He also co-founded Artistic Legacy, a not for profit
organization that sponsors art workshops for youth.
Admirers often site rhythm, movement, and unity, as favorite elements in his
work. He primarily works in acrylic, although he uses a variety of mediums and
styles to express his interests in Afrocentric themes, Ancient Egyptology and
dance. Poncho's unique style combines past and present art stylizations to
create a sense of realism, mysticism, and beauty, which gives his art universal
appeal. His contemporary paintings are a reflection of his personal values and
pay homage to ongoing themes of family, community and spirituality.
