Reflections in Black and White is a collection of drawings by Kevin Jones who creates large-scale, highly detailed work based on reinterpretations of masterworks in the classical canon through the lenses of science fiction, comic books, and anime. Kevin’s work searches for new truths in the re-examination of classic work. His work uses the concept of Afro-Futurism as a way of engaging with the topic of Black erasure.
