SUMMARY:the undercommons : New Work by Brandon Carlton
DESCRIPTION:Arts + Public Life presents the undercommons\, the first solo exhibition by painter Brandon Carlton. The exhibition explores the complexities of contemporary Black life through Carlton’s distinct approach to stylized figuration. Drawing influence from Alex Katz\, David Hockney\, and Jordan Casteel\, his work engages with portraiture and spatial composition to evoke intimacy\, distance\, presence\, and longing. \nCarlton’s paintings consider the undercommons as a site of fugitive sociality—an ungovernable space where collective life unfolds beyond dominant structures. His figures occupy liminal environments\, neither fully contained nor entirely free\, reflecting a continuous negotiation of belonging\, agency\, and historical memory. Inspired by Casteel’s attention to everyday Black life and the layered surfaces of Katz and Hockney\, Carlton’s work reimagines the aesthetics of presence\, using gesture\, color\, and space to suggest ways of seeing and being that resist fixed narratives.

Instead\, he’s reeling from a summer of revelations\, heartbreak and betrayal\, and still uncovering the truth about his powers and his legacy.The family he only just discovered is already fractured beyond repair\, and a new relative who shows up on his doorstep brings even more questions. Then there’s the mother he risked everything to find\, who might be the biggest threat to the life he’s trying to build. To protect his new community\, Malik joins an elite secret society with roots in ancient magic. \nHis journey takes him even deeper into his own heritage and the history of the magical world\, while bringing him closer to a classmate whose friendship might mean something more\, if Malik is ready to let her in. But how can he use powers he can’t even control to defend a world he’s not sure will ever fully accept him? And as the pressure and danger builds\, will he be able to confront the deepening cracks within the magical society\, and those building within himself? \nLaDarrion Williams is a Los Angeles based-playwright\, filmmaker\, author\, and screenwriter whose goal is to cultivate a new era of Black fantasy\, providing space and agency for Black characters and stories in a new\, fresh and fantastical way. He is currently a resident playwright/co-creator of The Black Creators Collective\, where his play UMOJA made its West Coast premiere in January 2022 and produced North Hollywood’s first Black playwrights festival at the Waco Theater Center. Blood at the Root is his first novel.
