About The Work

Throughout his career, Ligon has undertaken a sharp examination of American history, literature, and society through bodies of work that critically engage with the traditions of modern painting and conceptual art. Untitled (I/America) is a limited edition print featuring hand-drawn elements. The print displays an image of Ligon’s iconic neon piece, America (2008), with most of the letters crossed out, leaving only the word “I” visible, offering a commentary on the conceptual complexities of citizenship and the Black experience in the US. Ligon uses text in his work, playing with language to make us think about its shifting meanings in different contexts. He has spoken about what ‘America’ means, describing it as a ‘loaded’ word.
