<b><i>Mystic Parallax</i> is the first major monograph by rising interdisciplinary artist Awol Erizku.</b><br><br> Working across photography, film, video, painting, and installation, his work references and re-imagines African American and African visual culture, from hip hop vernacular to Nefertiti, while nodding to traditions of spirituality and Surrealism. This comprehensive monograph spans Erizku’s career, blending his studio practice with his work as an in-demand editorial photographer working regularly for the <i>New Yorker</i>, <i>New York</i> magazine, <i>Time</i>, and <i>GQ</i>, among others, and features his conceptual portraits of Black cultural icons, such as Solange, Amanda Gorman, and Michael B. Jordan. As Erizku recently told the <i>New York Times</i>, “It’s important for me to create confident, powerful, downright regal images of Black people.”<br><br>
