    Blind Lemon Fisherman: The Lost Masters
    (2023) Swanson, Joseph T.; Potter, William; Farrow, Vance; Furqueron, Reagan
    Blind Lemon Fisherman: The Lost Masters, is an abstract polyptych painting depicting the Whitewater Valley Gorge in Richmond, Indiana, throughout its geological and human history. The landscape tradition has been filtered through my foundational years of graffiti writing. This work uses gestural abstraction and graffiti derived mark-making and motifs to portray my own and imagined memories of the historic Starr Gennett site located in the Gorge during diverse moments in time, which relates to the work of the Richmond Group, to the studio work of Chris DAZE Ellis and SABER, and situates it within the framework of contemporary graffiti-informed studio artwork that Rafael Schacter refers to as, Intermural Art.
