Umar Rashid (b. 1976, USA. Also known as Frohawk Two Feathers) makes paintings, drawings, and sculptures that chronicle the grand historical fiction of the Frenglish Empire (1648–1880). Each work represents a frozen moment that often recalls our own fraught histories—both canonized and marginalized—with familiar visual lexicons of hip-hop, ancient and modern pop culture, and revolutionary movements throughout time. His works were exhibited at Dallas Contemporary, Dallas; Almine Rech, London, Paris; Blum & Poe, Los Angeles; MoMa PS1, New York; and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles, among other institutions.
