About the Artist: Ernest Hood was born in Gary Indiana, raised in Denver Colorado and has been a centrifugal force in the art, music and grooming scenes in Atlanta for the past 20 years. He classifies himself as a pure artist who creates from his soul's necessity to express what moves his spirit. Visions, places, nature and family that constantly run through his mind inspire the images in his work. Ernest's style, "Urban Contemporary" applies a unique use of light and extreme color to a combination of figurative, narrative, abstract and expressionist styles.
As a self-taught artist he is passionate about experimentation and developing new techniques, which cultivates limitless rawness in his work. Music is a key factor in the moods, messages, movement and energetic vibrations conveyed through his craft. As a performance artist he creates live paintings on the street or at pop up events set to live music. He utilizes found and repurposed materials to create fine art and functional installations including wearable art designed to make bold commentary on social injustice and other soul stirring ideas. His company, Hood Vision's mission is to unite and elevate through arts, culture, healing and creative social economic initiatives. It is his belief that public art is an essential part of bridging and building sustainable communities.
