As a contemporary African
American artist, I feel that my images of African
American life in the narrative tradition will assist
the viewer to clearly understand and appreciate
African American Art in the 21st century.
Individuals can see through the eyes of the artist's
work expressions of joy and beauty of the working
class people as they go about their daily life. They
encounter hard struggles, but there is a reward for
a job well done in the end.

“San Antonio lost one of its
leading artists when Reginald Rowe died in 2007, but
he’s being memorialized with a one-man show at Joan
Grona Gallery.
Best-known for his shaped abstract paintings Rowe
was honored by the McNay Art Museum with a one-man
retrospective in 1996. Born in 1920 in Brooklyn, NY,
he moved to San Antonio in 1964 to teach at the San
Antonio Art Institute and became a respected mentor
to generations of South Texas artists.”

Even though I have explored many
expressions of art making, the last 15 years have
been primarily focused on painting and some
small-scale sculpture making. I like to think of my
painting as my reaction to the enormous stimulus of
identity and environment and my measuring, feeling
and reacting to them.
The sculpture on the other hand is less oriented to
any reactionary expression, but a reliance on a
collision of refuge found in the studio.
I'd like to think that there is an alliance with
these two mediums that suffice to express me and my
concerns.

"He's featuring some of his new
furniture designs, made from 160-year-old reclaimed
long leaf pine, and a series of small scratch
paintings, "Levelland," inspired by the flat
landscape of the high plains of Texas."
"His newest furniture pieces are simple yet
contemporary. And the craftsmanship is
extraordinary."
