proud to present:   
Gilbert Young Gallery

         "My objecive is to illustrate Black life as a positive form locked in holy matrimony with mankind. I attempt to treat each work as a personal and intimate involvement with the subject. This allows it to develop its own distinctive character as I form my own interpretation. I frequently restrict my use of color and often leave the backgrounds white and uncluttered in an attempt to show that emotions and feelings of mankind are timeless and universal." Born in Cincinnati Ohio in 1941, Gilbert Young studed at the Cincinnati Art Academy and University of Cincinnati, and received conservation training under the tutelage of Byron Adams. Gilbert known as a painter, muralist, graphic artist, conservator and arts advocate and his works has received national recognition. Gilbert Young is a frequent lecturer, active in the community, and has received a multitude of commissions and awards.
