About The Work
In Untitled (Venus-Flower Spotted), Lennon Jno-Baptiste creates a strange vision of paradise: a scraggly and disjointed garden full of childishly drawn flowers and black smudges. A black woman in the background shows off her exaggerated feminine figure—a play on historical representations of fertility goddesses, the roman goddess Venus, and stereotypes of African-American women—while a male figure stands prominently in the foreground, posing as an ambiguous hybrid of black and white race.
