Working in painting, drawing, installation and public art, Locke's work brings to light our dark past and present, looking closely at America's history of racial violence and spectacle. In his interdisciplinary practice, Locke engages issues of identity, desire, race, violence and memory, revealing as much tenderness and humor as he does brutality. Primarily concerned with how we ascribe meaning to portraiture while exploring the relationships between and among men, in recent years Locke has introduced a more personal, political and critical engagement with histories of racism and anti-Blackness, the Western canon of art history and American society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Delmonico Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/24\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781636811949\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 3.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 9.70w x 1.00d","brand":"Steve Locke","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52302278820021,"sku":"9781636811949","price":51.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_5540007e-00db-460e-bdf7-242dbe23fdb0.jpg?v=1772552739","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/steve-locke-i-said-what-i-said-9781636811949","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
