The Game is Mine, a solo exhibition of new work by Dapper Bruce Lafitte.
Born and raised in New Orleans, Hurricane Katrina made a deep impact on the young artist. While so much of his world quite literally disappeared with the passing of the storm, the ritual and resilience of his community remained – against all odds – intact. Lafitte’s work is a celebration of black culture. From Mardi Gras parades to marching bands, each painting represents a historic coming together – an exemplification of the kind of teamwork it takes to overcome any hell or high water that may come one’s way. In each piece, the individuals that form the artist’s crowds are quite clearly depicted: equally recognized for their individuality as they are celebrated for contributing their independence to the group.
