About Kin of Yin

Growing up in a Haitian church, Bronze spent his childhood noticing something that didn't add up — pews full of Black folk praising images of figures that looked nothing like the people in the seats, or the land the stories came from. That gap never closed. It became the work. The art is defined by the necessity to unfold that conversation. 

Kin of Yin is reimagining classical art through shifts in tone, shape and placement of images we've taken for granted. This spin on classical imagery is a device for a pause and discussion. The process of sampling is derived from the decades old music he discovered through listening to contemporary hip-hop. Producers like Q-Tip, Alchemist, Bink and Conductor Williams were audio sparks for his work. 

Bronze the digital collage artist, writer and software engineer behind Kin of Yin, who's made it priority to explore the concepts we align with and how they mold our belief system. Its his core intent to make his collages by "remixing myths" and taking the images deemed to be the peak of storytelling for a worthy and pivotal conversation. He works under the belief that the images we inherit shape what we believe is possible — and that remaking those images is one way to remake what we think we're allowed to become.
