Angelica Credle is a visual artist whose practice spans painting and drawing and centers Black existence, memory, and liberation. Research and image-making become the catalyst for socio-philosophical investigations, often asking the question posed by Christina Sharpe, “how do we care for the dead and the dying?” Drawing on historical references, like Ralph Ellison’s Invisible Man, her paintings feature inverted colors reminiscent of photographic negatives, engaging with the invisibility and hyper-visibility of Black identity.
She earned her BFA in Painting and Printmaking from Virginia Commonwealth University School of the Arts and a minor in African American Studies. Credle has been selected for The Capital Prize in Richmond and has been featured in New American Paintings.
Credle is currently an art teacher in the District of Columbia and member of 3711 Studios in Brentwood, MD.
