99% NO.17 Julitte Spars 2013

Curator: Sedrick Huckaby’s lithograph, “99% NO.17 Julitte Spars,” presents a seated figure, sparely rendered. The title hints at a story, perhaps a personal one. What strikes you first? Editor: It’s the figure’s direct gaze. There’s an undeniable vulnerability in the sitter’s posture, yet the sharp lines of the sketch communicate strength. Curator: The sketch-like quality evokes an immediacy, as if capturing a fleeting moment, yet the tattoo hints at permanent stories etched onto the body. Editor: Right. And the composition, with its truncated limbs and loosely defined setting, underscores the ephemerality of lived experience. It's both raw and refined. Curator: Indeed. The incompleteness allows viewers to project their own interpretations, contributing to a collective memory. Editor: An interesting tension, reflecting both the singularity of individual existence and our shared human condition. Curator: A subtle yet powerful work, then, that continues to resonate. Editor: Exactly. The artist's keen eye allows us to reflect on the power of line and form.
