Later, he moved to Brooklyn, New York to teach at the Pratt Institute. Much of his knowledge stemmed from outside of the classroom, where he has been able to express how current events mirror historical ones. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"992\" height=\"560\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-2175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5.png 992w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-768x434.png 768w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-500x282.png 500w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-100x56.png 100w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-150x85.png 150w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-450x254.png 450w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-600x339.png 600w, https:\/\/blogs.rollins.edu\/rma\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/image-5-900x508.png 900w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 992px) 100vw, 992px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Steve Locke (American, b. 1963) <em>Untitled (I Remember Everything You Taught Me Here),&nbsp;<\/em>2020 Neon 42 x 115 \u00bc in.

His works span a wide array of methods and mediums, including painting, drawing, sculpture, public art installations, and photography. \u2800<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><em>Homage to the Auction Block<\/em><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">Coming out of his ultimately unrealized Auction Block Memorial, which sought to recognize the Africans and African Americans whose trafficking and sale financed the building of Boston\u2019s Faneuil Hall, Locke\u2019s <em>Homage to the Auction Block <\/em>series is both a tribute to, and a subversion of, <em>Homage to a Square:<\/em> Josef Albers\u2019 famous investigation of the interactions of color, perception, and form through the nesting of squares of pigment.

As with Albers\u2019 work, the application of color and the use of the grid are reliant on the tenets of modernist abstraction, but the ever-present form of the auction block centered in seas of rich, vibrant color is a constant reminder and poignant critique of slavery\u2019s dark and persistent history.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">With this painful geometry at their center, Locke\u2019s color studies interrogate the tenets of modernism and abstraction in art, asking viewers to take a closer look at layers of history, meaning, and value.\u202fThis series accompanies commissioned banners and neon artwork in Rollins Museum of Art\u2019s collection, on view in the atrium of<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollins.edu\/rma\/exhibitions\/2023\/the-alfond-inn.html\"> The Alfond Inn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:35px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\">Love Letter To A Library: Untitled (I Remember Everything You Taught Me Here)<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size\">This Steve Locke commission for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollins.edu\/rma\/exhibitions\/2023\/the-alfond-inn.html\">The Alfond Inn<\/a> and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollins.edu\/rma\/\">Rollins Museum of Art<\/a> comes out of the artist\u2019s 2018 project at the Boston Public Library,\u202f <em>Love Letter to a Library.\u202f<\/em>In this major public art presentation,\u202fthe artist celebrated the discovery, wonder, and possibilities for education found in his own personal exploration of libraries as sites of knowledge and places of learning more broadly.
