Urbanisms 2027 Wall Calendar by Frank Morrison

The exaggerated, elongated, motion-rich figures that have made Frank Morrison one of the most recognizable Black contemporary artists working today take twelve pages in Urbanisms 2027 Wall Calendar by Frank Morrison. Morrison started as a graffiti artist in New Jersey, danced professionally with Sugar Hill Gang, illustrated Coretta Scott King Award-winning children's books, and built a fine-art career around urban Black life rendered in long, fluid limbs and impossibly tall posture. The figures in his work always seem caught mid-step, mid-dance, or mid-thought, with the city as a stylized backdrop rather than a literal one. The Urbanisms series is the cornerstone of Morrison's work for Shades of Color, running annually for over a decade.
