Work

Much of Curtis Mitchell's work has been inspired by icons and products of popular culture.[1] Franklin Sirmans has noted that “Mitchell’s sustained ability to transform everyday objects and activities into visually engaging work – while using low-end materials and methods to do it – solidifies his status as an artistic alchemist with few contemporary peers.”[7] The works are manifestations of the most conspicuous cycles of all forms of existence: the principle that sees them fall apart, reconstitute themselves, and then fall apart again.[8]
