NEW YORK, NY.- Dropshop offers more insight into its breadth of featured artists with the announcement of Renée Cox, a trailblazing, feminist, activist icon, for the September Drop. In tandem with Cox’s retrospective at Guild Hall, which has been extended through 18 September, Dropshop will release two iconic photographs on 14 September, including The Signing, which speak to freedom over the decades.

Renée Cox, said, “For the past 30 years, I have used my work as a conduit to change stereotypes of Black people. I use self-portraiture, scale and my authentic self to flip the script, to challenge societal norms, question power dynamics and advocate for the liberation of marginalized groups. Showing images at scale, of a powerful Black woman, as a superhero or God herself, helps reframe the historic rendering of Black narratives. Since the beginning, I have only been interested in creating images that are uplifting and empowering. My Dropshop project ‘Beyond Liberty’ frames this conversation through some of my most iconic work, ranging from my earliest days behind a camera through my more recent projects. The two works that I’ve chosen to offer are iconic and stylized versions of Black brilliance with the apropos theme of liberty. I hope these works spark further conversation about race, gender and identity within the context of freedom and self-expression.”

Renée Cox (b. 1960, Colgate, Jamaica; lives in New York) makes photographs, collages, and installations that draw on art history, fashion photography and popular culture. Her work invokes a critical vision of female sexuality, beauty, power, and heroism that inform her interdisciplinary process. Inspired by critical epochs and artistic styles, her works are often reimaginations of art history, ranging from the Italian Renaissance to Cubism to traditional West African Art. Cox utilizes a diverse range of photographic styles from fashion, German portrait, as well as the Harlem Renaissance. Cox’s work challenges how women are seen respective to time, place and the intangible spaces between representation and reality.

Renée Cox received her BA from Syracuse University, (Syracuse, NY) and MFA from the School of Visual Arts. She was a participant in the Whitney Museum of American Art, Independent Study Program. Her work has been included in solo and group exhibitions at prominent institutions globally including Spelman College Museum of Fine Arts, Tate Liverpool, The New Museum of Contemporary Art, Brooklyn Museum), Harvard University and the Whitney Museum of American Art. She was an associate professor at Columbia University and has lectured at Yale College of Art, New York University and Parsons School of Design.
