Hyperallergic is an online forum for “serious, playful, and radical thinking” about contemporary art. Founded in 2009 and headquartered in Brooklyn, we’re long-time fans of Hyperallergic’s reviews, interviews, and contermporary art news.
So we were over the moon when Denver-based Hyperallergic writer Sommer Browning reached out to review Floyd D. Tunson’s Ascent exhibition currently on view at RedLine.

Browning offers an insightful and articulate rumination on Ascent and Floyd’s decades-long artistic career:
““Keeper of the Secrets” not only showcases Tunson’s facility with materials and the way he layers meaning upon meaning but explores concepts central to much of his work: the beauty of Black culture, the perception of Blackness in the United States, and the country’s ongoing racial injustice.”
Floyd also provided several illuminating quotes, which bring even more context to the intentions and inspirations behind his pieces in Ascent.
