Award-Winning Photographer & Visual Artist Examining Racial, Gender, and Cultural Identity
Lorna Simpson Biography
Lorna Simpson is recognized in contemporary photography for her photo-text installations that examine the complexities of racial, gender, and cultural identity. Notable works such as "May-June-July-August '79" and "Waterbearer" combine black-and-white imagery with layered text, prompting viewers to consider unspoken narratives and stereotypes. Simpson's pieces have been exhibited in major institutions worldwide, contributing to the evolution of visual storytelling in fine art photography.
Simpson's career includes solo exhibitions at venues such as Whitney Museum, Museum of Modern Art, and Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum. Her installations are known for their intellectual rigor and emotional impact. She has received the MacArthur Fellowship and the Artist-in-Residence award from Studio Museum in Harlem. Simpson's photographs are included in the permanent collections of museums such as Art Institute of Chicago and Los Angeles County Museum of Art, reflecting her influence in modern art and visual culture.
Working across photography, film, and video, Simpson has expanded her artistic practice with projects like the film "Corda Corda," which investigates memory and perception through visual media. Her public appearances include gallery shows and participation in international biennials, where she addresses topics such as representation and visual language. These engagements underscore Simpson's role as both artist and speaker in contemporary art and identity discourse.
