From Art League Houston:
“Visions via Riding High is a series of works by Alexis Pye that deals with the relationship between cars and memory based on concrete sights with embellishments that lie in the fantastic. Using the backdrop of Tom’s Market, a now-defunct corner store nestled in the neighborhood of the east side of Detroit as a setting, the car becomes a moving exploration of Black culture within and outside of its marginalized constructs. Constructs that often dictate what black culture is but does not often fully represent it. These images challenge perceived ideas of Blackness that are constantly moving forward and becoming looser and abstract. Blackness is a vehicle, and if you are not careful it will speed right by you.”
