Terron Cooper Sorrells
Paintings and Prints
×
Born in Virginia in 1994, Terron Sorrells is an African-American printmaker set to graduate from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 2016. He attended the Center of Excellence program at Churchland High School, where he studied the formal qualities of art, as well as, art history from 2008 to 2012. He also attended the Governor’s School for the Arts summer residential program at Radford University in 2010. Throughout his time in the programs, Sorrells acquired an unique drawing sensibility that lends itself to his painting and printmaking practice.
Sorrells has been surrounded by western culture and ideologies for most of his life. Although he went to public schools mixed evenly in terms of racial demographics, his interest in art placed him with a group that would not necessarily benefit from historical conversations about race. Sorrells is now absorbed in the idea of extending that conversation and spreading African-American culture and history through painting and printmaking.
