have the recruiting apparatus it now possesses. Living in Portland, Quenton pursued his passion for art and the result has been a journey embraced by self exploration. The resulting expressions Quenton has fixed upon canvas throughout the years include some reflections of the environment that shaped his perspective. His piece  4th and Fremont St. Looking North depicts his old neighborhood. The Flour Mill can be seen in the image. The grassy park with the swings is shown. The pink church building. Such images are old memories Quinton is sharing with us.

The Art of Afrocentric Thought & Creativity

Jerry L. Quenton

My work depicts my mixed heritage of African American and Native American. Raised by my grandfather in the housing projects of Pocatello, Idaho, the images reflect the challenges in this community close to nature and art.

My paintings are layers of personal stories with undertones of political issues, both past and present. Using large blocks of intense color as the underlying surface of the paintings, I am able to paint symbolic gestures and figurative forms on the canvas, allowing the bright color to bleed through.

As I go through maturation in my life, I have become more interested in tribal systems and how they relate to contemporary life. I am also interested in the mystic symbolism of indigenous cultures. Each painting is a narrative relating to my family history and the Native American and African American in our culture.
