This is Just a Test: The Study

Dr. Fahamu Pecou is an interdisciplinary artist, scholar and the founder of the African Diaspora Art Museum of Atlanta whose works combine observations on hip-hop, fine art, and popular culture to address concerns around contemporary representations of Black men. Through paintings, performance art, and academic work, Dr. Pecou confronts the performance of Black masculinity and Black identity, challenging and expanding the reading, performance, and expressions of Blackness.

The Study is a futuristic, site-specific installation that encourages focus, relaxation, and healing.

This artwork purchase includes the hi-resolution video file of The Study with audio housed within a custom, teak wood case.

Centered on original artworks by Dr. Fahamu Pecou, the study uses LED light and technology to create an intimate meditative space where viewers experience a visual and auditory journey. Paintings from Dr. Pecou’s acclaimed “Lit” collection come to life in a 360 environment activated by different colors and wavelengths of light which stimulate focus and healing. This “reading room” utilizes LED light therapy to induce a calming effect as colors cycle through, washing over the sitter accompanied by readings from texts referenced in Pecou’s paintings.
