Freeman is best known for his narrative paintings, drawings and installations exploring race, double consciousness and the construction of identity. His images are described as a synthesis of children's book illustrations, fairy tales and invented characters with historical narratives, images from popular culture and social critique that create a wonderland like world that has gone disturbingly awry, but is seductively beautiful.
Gallery hours are 8 a.m. until 3 p.m. weekdays when the College is in session. The exhibit will be on display until February 20.
