Episode Five: Hebru Brantley

  • Summary

  • For the fifth episode of How To Be An Artist, Kate Bryan speaks to artist and creator of the iconic characters Flyboy and Lil Mama: Hebru Brantley. Heavily influenced by the murals and graffiti work of Chicago’s South Side in the 1960s and 1970s, he continues to work within those traditions to explore themes of nostalgia, power, and hope. In this conversation, Brantley talks about the significance that anime, comic books and manga had on his childhood. He also shares what it was like to collaborate with the likes of Nike and Cadillac, and his immersive installation, ‘Nevermore Park’. Brantley’s work has been showcased internationally, featuring in global art exhibits including Art Basel Switzerland, Art Basel Miami, and Frieze London. His work will also soon feature as part of a new Soho House site in the US.
