‘Working Together’: Artist shows love in Bed-Stuy exhibition
Posted: Updated:World renowned artist Leroy Campbell opened his new exhibition Saturday at the Richard Beavers Gallery in Bedford-Stuyvesant.
Campbell is best known for his paintings depicting the lives of African-Americans.
The exhibition is called “Working Together.”
"If we are working together as a whole. It takes a whole lot of people to make a lot one person whole. Well, it takes a whole lot of people to also be healthy in this society."
Campbell says he owes a big part of his success to the kindness of others throughout his life and wants to continue to pass it on.
"I'm the result of a person who came out of poverty, who came out of dysfunction and, because of other people in the community who stepped in to show me what love looks like, I turned out to be a successful well-known artist," says Campbell.
The exhibition will be open to the public until next year.
