Reggie Black

Join The Phillips Collection as we host the latest artist to reimagine our Centennial logo, Reggie Black. Reggie will be in conversation with Phillips Curatorial Assistant Camille Brown.

“My redesign of The Phillips Collection logo incorporates not only one of my signature hand types, a medium that expresses vulnerability and nostalgia, but also layers of process behind it that I used to develop this work. The objective in implementing these components is to represent transparency and to view the process as the artwork. Process is also an integral part of celebrating an anniversary—a time to reflect on the journey and the layers that built it.”

Reggie Black (@iamreggieblack) is a multimedia artist and designer using text to navigate trauma, hope, and optimism. Intersecting hand type artistry, graphic design, and abstract painting, his work has exhibited internationally in cities including Bangkok, Hong Kong, New York City, Tokyo, and Washington, DC. A self-taught artist who began his practice on pen and paper, Black has since conceived of new processes using both analog and digital techniques to create his signature hand type. Black has presented talks with Apple, Advertising Week, Floyd, TED, and Zound addressing the importance of art, design, technology, mental health, and vulnerability.
