About the Recipients<\/h3>\n

\"SedrickSedrick Huckaby<\/strong> (CFA\u201997, BUTI\u201995) <\/span>was born in 1975 in Fort Worth. He began painting quilts as backdrops for portraits. Over time, quilts became the focus, acting as artful messengers that tell stories of family, ancestral legacy and of spiritual concepts through draping folds and connected patches. His newest quilt paintings are typified by a monumental scale, heavy layers of paint, interplay of light and shadow, and a sense\u2028of soft texture that defies the hardness of the thick impasto on canvas.<\/p>\n

Huckaby’s recent series The 99%<\/em> often mentioned in the press features a powerful installation of more than 100 lithographic portraits that the artist created during a recent residency at the Brandywine Print Workshop in Philadelphia.<\/p>\n

Huckaby currently teaches at The University of Texas at Arlington and is represented by Valley House Gallery in Dallas.<\/p>\n
